Executive summary

Pet food and pet care products continue to grow in 2008 despite recession

2008 continued to be a strong year for pet food and pet care products in Israel, as trends such as humanisation, specification and functionality continued to play a strong role. The demand for high quality super premium and premium products continued to grow amongst Israeli pet owners, as consumers became wiser and more educated on the importance of their pet’s diet and general well being. Other pet care products witnessed strong growth, as pet accessories became a popular trend in 2008. Pet toys, clothes and accessories became even more human-like in 2008 and increasingly began to resemble baby products.

Functionality continues to fuel dog and cat food, especially dental care

In 2008, the main focus of functional pet food and pet care products was in dental care, as this became a growing concern amongst pet owners. A survey conducted in Israel stated that 85% of dogs in the country suffer from dental problems, which causes bad breathe and swollen, bleeding gums which leads to loss of appetite. As the growing awareness to the number one problem amongst dog owners intensified, companies in pet food and pet care products began to put a strong emphasis on launching products which promote dental hygiene benefits. In 2008, dog treats were incorporated into dental care, and new functional dental care dog treats were launched.

Bio Pet purchase Shiff & Ribovsky

In mid 2008, Bio Pet Ltd acquired leading other pet food and pet care products company Shiff & Ribovsky Pet Food Manufacturing Import & Marketing Ltd, in order to broaden its product portfolio and become the leading, dominant player within the whole of pet food and pet care products.

Grocery retailers strengthen, changing the distribution landscape

Over 2008 and into 2009, grocery retailers became more attractive in the eyes of pet food consumers and pet food companies (suppliers), as 2008 was a strong year for grocery retailers. New larger and more sophisticated outlets were launched, more leading grocery retailers launched private labels and the non-grocery product variety was enlarged and upgraded.

Future value growth is expected to slow down

Pet food and pet care products is expected to witness a slowdown in value terms during 2010 and 2011, as consumers' purchasing habits and decisions will be affected by economic trade-offs. Not all product categories will be affected in the same manner, as the more luxury products will be affected on a larger scale, as consumers will be more price-conscious than ever. The monthly spending on dog and cat food is very expensive, which is why it is predicted that two main issues will arise: first of all, due to the growing humanisation trend, those who make the effort to purchase super premium and premium brands through pet shops and pet superstores, will continue to do so, but will make more of an effort to find the best deals on their preferred brands, as their pets well being is their main concern. Although those who purchase premium brands may search for brands which are still high in quality but a little bit cheaper, they might be willing to switch to a cheaper premium brand. Secondly, those who purchase mid-priced, economy and private label brands, usually through grocery retailers, are more price-driven, and will search for the best and cheapest deals. As for retailers, pet store owners and pet superstore owners are aware of the financial recessions' impact and moving into 2009, will began to engage in sales discounts and more deals such as 'buy one get one free', in order to attract more consumers and keep their loyal customers satisfied.
