Executive summary

Growth in the Pet Population Supports Robust Market Performance in 2007

Ukraine's pet population continued to grow in 2007, maintaining a positive trend witnessed throughout the review period. Growth in the other pet population was strongest, though the dog population also increased substantially. Growth in the dog population was mainly due to an increase in the numbers of small and medium sized dogs. The large dog population increased at a much slower rate, as did the number of cats kept as pets in Ukraine. Growth in the other pet population was driven mainly by the rising popularity of fish and small mammals. In line with the growing popularity of tropical fish, retailers began stocking wider assortments of specialist fish food products and aquariums. The rate of growth in the reptile population was quite slow due to the fact that many retailers stopped importing tortoises towards the end of the review period. Nonetheless, the number of turtles kept as pets continued to rise. Growth in the bird population was also comparatively slow, and driven mainly by the increasing popularity of parrots. All of these trends contributed to the positive development of Ukraine's pet food and pet care products market.

Dog and Cat Food Products With Health Benefits Prove Increasingly Popular

Demand for specialised premium and mid-priced dog and cat food products increased in Ukraine in 2007, particularly in veterinary clinics outlets. This trend was mainly limited to urban areas, where rising disposable incomes allowed consumers to spend money on such items. Growing awareness of pet healthcare issues not only encouraged more dog and cat owners to switch to dry food products, but also to look for products with added-value or functional ingredients that could help to maintain a healthy coat or prevent illnesses such as urolithiasis (kidney stones). Many consumers bought such products on the recommendation of vets. Higher demand for dog and cat food products with specific health benefits was also attributable to the growing number of specialist dog and cat breeders in Ukraine.

Multinationals Retain a Commanding Lead in Dog and Cat Food

Multinational companies were the main players in Ukraine's pet food and pet care products market throughout the review period. In 2006, Mars Inc and Nestlé-Ukraine TOV accounted for a combined market value share of 62%, and held the top two positions in dog food and cat food. Nonetheless, a small number of domestic companies also maintained a significant presence in the market, particularly in other pet food and other pet care products. Among the most prominent were Enzym ZAO and Suzirja NVP.

Pet Shops Channel Continues to Make Distribution Gains

Supermarkets/hypermarkets and pet shops remained the leading retail distribution channels for pet food and pet care products in 2007. Supermarkets/hypermarkets outlets are more likely to carry economy or mid-priced pet food products, while pet shops outlets tend to stock a wider assortment of specialist pet food and pet care products. 'Zoo bazaars', consisting of open markets that sell pets as well as pet food and pet care products are also quite popular with Ukrainians. The distribution value share of pet shops increased steadily over most of the review period thanks to new outlet openings in urban areas, rising disposable incomes and the growing interest of owners in the healthcare needs of their pets. The value share of supermarkets/hypermarkets meanwhile remained largely unchanged, due mainly to the fact that outlets in this channel concentrated on low prices rather than products with added-value or health benefits.

Demand for Premium Pet Food and Pet Care Products is Expected to Rise

Ukraine's pet population is expected to continue growing over the forecast period. Together with rising disposable incomes and the growing popularity of purebred dogs and cats and more exotic pets with special needs, this trend will drive demand for premium brands and support the positive development of pet food and pet care products as a whole. However, demand for pet food and pet care products will remain limited to urban areas, where owners are more likely to treat their animals as companions and thus more willing to spend money on maintaining their physical or emotional well being. In contrast, many owners in rural areas will continue to treat pets as working animals (particularly dogs) and view pet food and pet care products as unnecessary luxuries.
