Executive summary
Pet food and pet care products continues to perform poorly in 2007
Pet food and pet care products performed worse in 2007 than it did in 2006. The reason for this was that import taxation increased across the board in Egypt, affecting any foreign players in the country. Regular complaints from cat owners are centred on the lack of availability of cat food. This is due to the fact that although there is not enough demand in the market to maintain a constant flow of such goods at a fair price, the demand which does exist is left frustrated due to the inconsistency of the products available.
Dog and cat food sales remain the highest in the pet food and pet care products market in 2007
Dog and cat food saw the highest growth due to an increasing number of households keeping dogs as pets. The reason for this is people are starting to move out of city centres and relocate to the suburbs where they have access to a front or back garden, making it easier to keep a dog as a pet. The value of dog and cat food rose due to an increase in the unit price over 2006. Most dog and cat food products available on the market are imported and therefore target a high-income clientele: price in not the issue for this type of consumer. There is a lack of mid-priced products, which could boost sales in the future as most middle-income consumers choose to feed their pets with scraps and human food because the alternative is too expensive.
Foreign players are dominant in the Egyptian market
In 2007, foreign players held the leading positions in pet food. The reason for this is because they are known to be of better quality than local products, and they have marketed themselves over the years they have been in production. However, the problem of inconsistency in terms of availability still hinders sales. Many products are available for a certain period and then disappear only to reappear later. Such phenomena encourage consumers to feed their dogs with scraps or locally-branded food in order not to have to deal with the lack of consistency of brands in the market.
Pet food purchasing is class-driven
Most of the Egyptian population are of middle to lower income status. This segment of the population tends to opt for feeding their pets non-prepared food as it is cheaper. A lot of the time this could be leftovers from meals or cheaper cuts of meat and chicken and vegetables bought specifically to feed to pets. On the other hand, the higher income consumers and expatriates purchase imported products. This market is relatively small compared to the lower income segment of the population, and therefore expensive products (imported products) did not perform outstandingly in 2007.
Pet food and pet care products will continue to be niche in the future
The forecast performance of pet food and pet care products is expected to be positive, however, the market will still continue to be small. There are no marketing strategies, advertisement nor promotions that are envisaged in the future from Egyptian companies, nor importers. The brands that are imported will continue to be too expensive for the average Egyptian, and therefore will continue to target only high-income consumers. Advertising will not be necessary since supply is in parallel with the small demand which is not consistent.
