Executive summary

The gap between prepared and non-prepared food is still wide

Generally, pet food and pet care products is not well developed, as only a small number of pet owners buy prepared food and special care products for their animals. The gap between prepared and non-prepared food, mainly for dogs and cats, is still wide in Poland. However, manufacturers offer a wide assortment of products, using advertising to attract attention to pet food and pet care products.

Growing demand for premium products and pet shops

Pet feeding and care habits are slowly changing, as producers and specialists make efforts to convince pet owners about the advantages of using specialist products for their pets. The tendency to turn to premium and super-premium products grew in Poland in 2007. Moreover, the number of pet shops grew quite fast over the review period and in 2007. The number of pet shops is expected to continue to grow over the forecast period.

Strong competitive environment

Big multinational companies remain the leading players in pet food and pet care products in Poland. Nonetheless, local manufacturers are proud of their loyal customer bases. The relatively high level of exports to other countries all over the world is proof of the strong competition between local players. However, there are certain competitive difficulties that aggravate the situation of local manufacturers; for example, multinationals have huge budgets and opportunities to provide wider product ranges and stronger advertising support than domestic players. This shows that the competition in pet food and pet care products in Poland is strong, with customers the winners.

Time for specialist and on-line pet shops

Supermarkets/hypermarkets was the main distribution channel for pet food and pet care products over the review period. Nonetheless, the growing demand for premium and super-premium pet food and pet care products boosted the performance of pet shops and pet superstores in 2007. Moreover, the popularity of on-line pet shops is also growing, as these retailers offer premium and super-premium products at lower prices. These trends are expected to strengthen over the forecast period.

Humanisation of pets

There are strong indicators of the pet humanisation trend in Poland, with cats and dogs in particular, increasingly regarded as family members rather than animals. The gap between prepared and non-prepared pet food is still wide, though the prevailing attitude towards feeding, and caring, for pets underwent significant changes in Poland over the review period. The forecast period is expected to bring innovations to pet food, for example, in terms of ingredients, segmentation, and packaging. Innovation in other pet care products is expected to focus on healthcare and dietary supplements, clothing, jewellery, and toys. Manufacturers are working hard to convince existing and prospective pet owners about the advantages, benefits and additional value of products, especially designed for specific pets.
