Executive summary

Sales continue to grow

An increase in the pet population, from dogs to cat, and especially small mammals and reptiles, meant a higher number of potential customers and helped increase sales of pet food and pet care products in 2007. The high growth in the small pet population (cats and small mammals in particular) is due to the fact that they are better suited to their owners’ lifestyles, as people find it increasingly difficult to find time to walk a dog several times a day. Small pets are perceived to need less attention, are easy to feed and can be taken on travels. Furthermore, it is also easier to accommodate them in Spanish flats where space could be a problem for big dogs.

Rising prices of expensive raw materials

An increase in prices of raw materials, especially of cereals, during the last months of 2007 meant an increase in production costs for manufacturers. This increase was partly passed on to consumers and a growth in unit price was experienced in every category. Super premium dog food and bird food were among the most affected subsectors, as they heavily rely on cereals and high quality ingredients.

Affinity Petcare reigns in Spain

Spanish multinational Affinity Petcare SA, part of the food group Agrolimen SA, kept the lead of the Spanish market in 2007. Its wide range of products, together with a good distribution network through the specialist channel and large grocery retailers, meant that the company was able to increase its value sales while accounting for over 17% of the Spanish market.

Grocery retailers continue to struggle

As pet owners are increasingly likely to consider their pets as part of the family, they are also likely to go to greater efforts to care for them. Spanish pet owners believe that the offering in large grocery retailers is not sufficient to the needs of their pets. This is contributing to the continuous dominance of the specialist channel, while grocery retailers struggle to break this dynamic. Spaniards continue to prefer purchasing pet food and pet care products in pet shops, while sales through pet superstores are marginal in the country.

Future looks good

The pet population is expected to continue to grow over the forecast period. Although the current economic situation could negatively impact the pet food and pet care market in the short term, the expectations for the forecast period remain positive. With the anthropomorphism trend gathering pace, manufacturers are increasingly able to persuade pet owners to spend more on high quality products, which will drive value growth over the forecast period. Over the forecast period the market will become increasingly segmented, as manufacturers with similar high quality products seek to drive value through diversification.
