Executive summary

Changing lifestyles enhance pet food’s growth

Vietnam is known for its youthful population, backed by an ever increasing disposable income levels and propensity to spend. These young people benefited in many ways during the review period thanks to the various jobs created in a growing economy which meant that salaries and wages increased. This also created a scenario where individuals are increasingly putting more hours at work and spending less time with family and friends in social gatherings. In such a context, pets are increasingly incorporated within the households and are considered to be members of the family, creating strong demand for different breeds of cats and dogs along with prepared and packaged pet food as well as pet care related products. The convenience factor of prepared pet food also plays an instrumental role in demand growth, albeit for those that are lower priced.

Modern retail system improves product awareness

The growth of the retail system in Vietnam was over 30% in the review period, with nearly 100 supermarkets opening during 2006, equal to the total number of supermarkets that opened between 1998 and 2006. This created a perfect environment for the distribution of pet food and pet care products. Through these retail outlets, Vietnamese pet owners are more aware of pet food and its various formats and extensions into pet sizes and ingredient make up. At the same time, owners also are increasingly aware and appreciative that the specific ingredients of pet food products are more suitable for their pets than homemade products. Even to people who did not own a pet before, experiences at supermarkets where different types of pet food and pet care products are available have inspired them to own one.

Dogs are most common, while fish and cats are increasingly favoured by pet owners

Similar to many other Asian countries, dogs are more highly appreciated in Vietnam as compared to cats or fish. Local pet owners feel that dogs are easy to feed, more interactive as compared to cats and fish. Dogs can also be raised for different purposes such as guard dogs, walking companions and sometimes, even for controlling vermin. The abundance of dog breeds available in the country is also a contributing reason for the growth of dog food sales during the review period. There were more than 90 breeds of dogs from all over the world in Vietnam, such as Giant Schnauzer, Fox, Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, Berger, Pekinese, Doberman, Dalmatian, Boston Terrier, Pug, Dachshund and Phu Quoc. Hence, dog food accounted for 74% of total dog and cat food value sales in 2007.

Interior décor trend enhances the development of fish food and fish care products

During the review period, there was a new but booming demand for interior design and experience in Vietnam. Fish are now considered not only as a pet, but also as an ornament. Fish tanks can also be hung on the wall like a picture as a sign of luck according to Feng Shui experts. During the review period, fish tanks ranged in price from over VND1 million to VND150 million per tank. Fish shop owners even created their own websites and magazines published monthly to share experiences and to promote their fish and fish products. These activities boosted the growth of the fish population and fish-related products in Vietnam.

Bird flu epidemic limits the growth of the bird population and related products

During the review period, although the bird flu epidemic seemed to be kept at bay in most provinces of Vietnam, the government still warned bird owners against the possible return of the epidemic. They cited the circumstances that led to the death of more than 13 people in Vietnam and there was a serious decrease in the bird population. Since the epidemic is no longer a serious threat, bird food sales recovered slightly in 2006, but the growth rate was nothing compared to the success seen in 2004.
