Executive summary
Steady value growth in 2008
Thanks to the rapid development of economy, as well as ever-increasing disposable income levels, overall consumption of pet food and pet care products has increased steadily. Moreover, due to changes in lifestyles, which have contributed to there being more small and single-person households, an increasing number of Chinese citizens started to keep pets in order to avoid loneliness.
Changes in feeding habit of pet owners accelerate the sales of pet food
In previous years, the majority of Chinese pet owners fed their pets non-industrially prepared pet food. However, due to leading players’ ongoing efforts in marketing and consumer education, more and more pet owners have come to appreciate the benefits of prepared pet food. Thus, increasing number of pet owners have opted for prepared pet food to provide balanced nutrition for their pets.
Increasing pressure from rising-up price of raw material
As a result of increasing prices of raw materials such as grain and meat, pet food brands have been faced with substantial pressure on profit margins. This has led to price increases for leading brands such as Dog Chow and Pedigree, in order to maintain stable gross margins.
International players still dominate the market
As of 2008, international manufacturers have more competitive edge compared with the domestic players. The international players have great advantages in terms of research and development, and brand building. In addition, keeping “luxury” pets has become a fashion in China, and owners of such pets generally prefer to buy international brands, which are considered healthier and more nutritious, to feed their luxury pets.
Healthy growth expected during the forecast period
The pet food and pet care products market is expected to maintain its healthy growth during the forecast period. Thanks to the huge number of pet owners in China, the market has significant potential for expansion. Moreover, due to the increased prevalence of the “nuclear” family model, more and more households are treating their pets as family members and, as such are paying more attention to what they are fed. Pets’ health is also becoming an important matter of concern for pet owners.
