Executive summary

Pet food and pet care products continues strong performance

Pet food and pet care products continued to be one of the most dynamic consumer markets in Chile. Consumers are becoming more affluent, so they have more money to spend on their pets than in the past. They also are becoming better informed about pet care, and hence more likely to purchase healthcare products and commercially prepared food for their pets than in the past.

Education remains key to market growth

Chileans are becoming more educated about pet care and starting to perceive their animals as family members, which makes them want to take better care of them. Several television programs dedicated to educating people about pet care and animals have been instrumental in teaching Chileans about issues like pets’ nutritional needs and when to take an animal to the veterinarian. Other media such as newspapers and morning news shows also dedicate space to pet care, and even some municipalities are getting into the act with events like low-cost spay/neuter days where pet care information and free samples are also handed out.

Multinationals maintain market lead

Whilst domestic companies like Champion and Nutripro were rather able to hold their own, the lead still was with multinationals Nestlé and Mars (Masterfoods) in 2006. Both companies invested heavily in advertising their main brands, so that they are very well known amongst consumers. For example, Pedigree and Whiskas were the sponsoring brands of the most popular pet-related show, “La Ley de la Selva”. Nestlé’s main strength is its wide product offering. However, the company has seen its share decline since it had to withdraw its canned foods from the market in 2005.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets is gaining ground, but other food stores has the largest share

Whilst supermarkets/hypermarkets has gained popularity in dog and cat food, and it is the dominant channel for many other products, tostadurías still has an important presence. Tostadurías are classified as other food stores per Euromonitor International's distribution channels definitions. Tostadurías are small shops that sell products like spices and dry fruits and nuts. They also carry pet food sold in bulk, where the customer can choose the amount to buy. This channel is popular with lower-income consumers who are often paid by the day or week and do not have the spare money to purchase a larger package size from a supermarket or hypermarket.

Opportunities still exist for growth

Whilst pet care products matured considerably in the review period, there are still positive growth prospects. There are still pet owners who mainly or exclusively give their pets non-prepared foods like table scraps, and who could switch to prepared food for at least some of their pets’ needs. Also, people are becoming more attached to their pets, so they may be expected to get better healthcare for them and increase purchases of accessories such as shampoo, beds and sweaters.
