Executive summary

Sales driven by economic growth

Pet food and pet care products saw strong growth during the review period, with this chiefly due to good economic growth for the country as a whole. As incomes grew, consumers increasingly kept pets and began to regard their pets as members of their family, rather than as working animals. This was exemplified by the growing popularity of indoor cats and small pedigree dogs and resulted in owners becoming increasingly concerned with their pets’ nutrition and health.

Sales remain limited to urban areas

However, sales continued to be constrained by a lack of interest in pet food and pet care products amongst the majority of the population. Sales remained limited to urban areas, with those in rural areas having low incomes. Where cats and dogs are kept in rural areas, they are typically kept as working animals, with cats used to control vermin and dogs used as security. These pets are typically fed on scraps and spend much of their lives outdoors, with rural sales of pet food and pet care products thus remaining minimal.

Ukrainians place their faith in multinationals

In 2008, multinational companies continued to lead sales. Mars Inc and Nestlé-Ukraine TOV continued to dominate dog and cat food, while imports are also dominant in fish food, reptile food, dietary supplements and healthcare. Most consumers view imports as offering higher quality than domestic products and, with most consumers of pet food and pet care products being in mid- and high-income groups, many traded up from domestic brands to imports.

Specialist retailing gains strength

In 2008, the number of specialised pet shops continued to grow dynamically in Ukraine, with this offering pet owners access to a wider range of premium and specialised pet food and care, along with specialist advice. In addition, the number of online pet shops also grew rapidly, with internet retailing becoming a significant distribution channel for pet food and pet care products for the first time in 2008. Internet retailing proved very popular, with most of the leading retailers offering free delivery, a wide assortment of premium and mid-priced food and specialised care. Internet retailing also offers lower unit prices than store-based distribution channels.

Continuing growth despite economic slowdown

Sales of pet food and pet care products are expected to continue to grow strongly during the forecast period, despite an economic downturn being forecast for the country. Prepared food accounted for only a small share of total consumption at the end of the review period, with there thus being considerable room for further growth. In addition, growing urbanisation and increasingly busy consumer lifestyles are expected to result in a growing number of consumers opting for the convenience of prepared food.
