Executive summary

Economy pet food continues to drive sales

In 2007, pet food and pet care products maintained the positive performance observed in the review period. However, value growth rates showed moderate growth in relation to the previous year due to smaller price adjustments. Economy dry pet food experienced the highest growth, driven by a more stable economy and improvement of purchasing power, in particular from lower-income brackets that benefited from increases in minimum wage and social programmes promoted by the federal government like “Bolsa Família”. The growing demand for economy dry pet food led to a rise of small players investing solely in low-priced products.

Natural ingredients in pet cosmetics

Since pets are considered an extra member of the family, a wide number of pet owners do not hesitate to offer them the best health treatments and to spoil them with accessories including beds, clothes and cosmetics. This trend led to increasing investments in innovative products specifically in pet cosmetics, which noticed a wide range of products made with natural ingredients like chamomile, aloe Vera, mint oils and other vegetal extracts that do not harm the skin of cats and dogs. Natural Pet, for instance, released a shampoo for dogs and cats with aromatherapy properties.

The downward trend of wet food

Wet food continued to lose sales to dry food that is viewed as more convenient, less malodorous, with high-quality added nutrients. As a result of decreasing sales in wet dog and cat food, Nestlé withdrew its wet food brands, including Benty, Kanina, Bonzo and Alpo in wet dog food and Friskies and Gatsy in wet cat food. In contrast, Masterfoods continues to invest in this category with its popular brands Pedigree and Whiskas. The company intensified its marketing investments over single-portion pouches packaging, especially for wet cat food, with advertising campaigns on main TV channels.

Potential sales in supermarkets/hypermarkets

With more than 8,000 pet shops mostly centred in the southeast region, this outlet type accounts for the majority of sales in pet food and pet care products. Leading manufactures, however, saw the potential of supermarkets/hypermarkets and independent grocery stores to increase their sales. Masterfoods and Nestlé already have a strong presence in main supermarkets/hypermarkets chains with its economy and mid-priced brands like Pedigree, Frolic, Champ, Dog Chow, Cat Chow, Dog Deli and Kanina. Domestic manufactures followed suit and also expanded their distribution to Pão de Açúcar, Extra Hipermercado, Carrefour, Mercadorama, etc.

Pet food and pet care products are far from maturity levels

In Brazil, there is still potential for pet food to grow as it is estimated that just 43% of dogs and cats are fed with prepared pet food. With economy pet food achieving maturity in the short-term, it is expected that most investments will be centred in value-added products, driving sales up for standard and super premium pet food. Humanisation of pets and constantly investments in innovative accessories, in particular pet cosmetics, is likely to spur sales over the forecast period.
