Executive summary
Slower but steady value growth in 2009
Although consumer confidence became slightly weaker in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis, the pet food environment appeared be generally well placed to weather the downturn. Pet owners, many of them nuclear families, treat their own pets as a family member, and thus tend to be generous in buying necessary food and other related products for their beloved pets.
Falling raw materials costs provide profit space for manufacturers
For pet food manufacturers there is new profit margin to be derived from falling raw materials costs. After a long period of rapid growth, pet products’ raw materials costs fell in 2009, mainly as the real economy began to deteriorate following the late 2008 downturn. At the retail-end, demand for pet food products, especially dog and cat food, has not halted. This actually provided better margins for pet food manufacturers, with lower costs on the production side, concomitant with an upward retail unit price trend.
Foreign brands still dominate
Benefiting from their trusted reputation among pet owners, foreign brands such as Pedigree, Whiskas, Pro Plan and Royal Canin continue to dominate the mid-priced and premium pet food segments in 2009. However, leading domestic manufacturers such as Nory Pet (Shanghai) Co Ltd have progressed steadily by offering products at competitive prices.
Internet retailing emerging
Emerging sales channels such as online pet shops increased in importance over the review period. For instance, pet superstore brand “Cool baby” promoted sales through Internet retailing (http://www.kudipets.com/) to offer pet owners a convenient and diversified purchasing point for a variety of pet food and pet care products.
Healthy growth anticipated over forecast period
In the long run, China could represent a particularly attractive market for manufacturers of pet food and pet care products. With increasing disposable income expected after the economy recovery, as well as the wide existence of the nuclear family model, an increasing number of urban citizens will begin to keep a pet and treat them as a family member. This will definitely help both the volume and value performances of the overall pet food and pet care products industry over the forecast period.
