Executive summary

New interest in household pets trigger growth in 2007

Over the years the Portuguese population has acquired a greater interest in household pets, this is reflected in the rising incidence of pet ownership. More widely available information and advertising on how to provide better conditions for pets has become an important factor behind the rise in number of pets per household, as well as for the growth of the industry since it means that companies are forced to produce more beneficial products that satisfy pet owners’ needs and allay their concerns.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets maintains leadership in sales

In 2007, supermarkets/hypermarkets maintained its leadership in pet food sales. Neither veterinarians nor pet shops are able to compete with the variety of products or the low prices at which products are sold in hypermarkets and supermarkets.

Exposalão: the main event in 2006/07 for the pet food sector

In December 2006 the Fair of Household Pets Exhibition took place in Exposalão. This fair was hugely popular with the general public since they were able to find all kinds of products for their pets’ needs. It was an important event for companies to exhibit and launch new brands from food and accessories, to hygiene products.

Top players remain the same in 2007

Following the trends from previous years, Nestlé Portugal SA and Masterfoods de Portugal Inc continue to be the main players in the market. Both companies increased their share in practically every category. Nestlé accounts for about 23% of market value sales, while Masterfoods holds a share of around 18% in 2006. These shares put considerable distance between the two companies and other market players. The sheer strength of Nestlé and Masterfoods make it very difficult for other companies to gain a significant foothold in this market, although private label products are becoming increasingly important.

Pet food and pet care products continues to be an expanding market

As social and economic conditions in Portugal continue to develop, pet owners show greater interest in providing their pets with healthier and more comfortable conditions. Consumers are showing greater interest in more refined products, even though they may be more expensive.
