Executive summary

Industry sales continue to expand in 2009

The pet food industry in Colombia will see positive growth in 2009 as it has done every year during the review period. Constant value growth in retail value sales in 2009 will be slightly less than the review period average, as the industry balances increased volume sales, rising competition and falling unit prices in some of its most important sectors, including dog and cat food. However, after absorbing increases in the prices of basic ingredients such as corn, wheat and soy in 2008, many companies will begin to pass their rising costs onto consumers in 2009.

Colombia becomes an important regional exporter

With large investments in infrastructure, many producers have chosen Colombia as their export hub for the Andean region of South America. Masterfoods Colombia Ltda-Effem Colombia Ltda and Nestlé Purina PetCare de Colombia SA are the two leading exporters from Colombia; however, local players such as Italcol de Occidente Ltda are also following suit. In 2008, exports of dog and cat food had increased five-fold since 2006.

Industry shows first signs of polarisation of pricing categories

In terms of price platform, economy pet food will continue to show a strong performance over the forecast period, but at the cost of consumers abandoning the mid-priced segment, industry players have noted. As disposable incomes decline in Colombia, mid-priced product sales will be hardest hit. Companies may find themselves increasingly dependent on the region’s more affluent consumers and premium range sales as the migration of mid-priced brand buyers to economy brands might push a considerable share of sales to the economy segment where profit margins are lower. Although growth figures still showed a strong performance in the mid-priced segment for 2008, in the last quarter the market started showing signs of polarisation.

Competition intensifies as manufacturers seek to improve their standing

Although Nestlé Purina PetCare de Colombia SA remains securely in the number one position in terms of sales of dog and cat food, other competitors have redoubled efforts to improve their standing. One of the best performances in terms of improved share was posted by Masterfoods Colombia Ltda-Effem Colombia Ltda, as its Pedigree and Whiskas brands continued to penetrate the Colombian market and gain ground on Nestlé’s leading brands. Meanwhile, Italcol de Occidente Ltda, the company with the largest gain in value share during 2008, continues its plans to improve its production chain and distribution by investing in two new port projects, the PIPCA in Barranquilla and the Puerto Multimodal del Galán in Barrancabermeja. Finally, Alicorp Colombia SA, a subsidiary of the largest Peruvian goods producer, has begun selling its Mimaskot brand in Colombia.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets continue to strengthen their presence

As the economic downturn sees more consumers become price sensitive, supermarkets/hypermarkets have become an economic alternative to pet shops and veterinary clinics. Nonetheless, many low-income Colombians continue to rely on small independent stores and other non-grocery retailers (specifically, agro-industrial supply stores) as they offer pet food in varying quantities, making individual portions very convenient for those with little money to hand at any given time. Although pet shops and veterinary clinics continue to enjoy a strong presence, they are likely to be in a vulnerable position for the near future, as consumers continue to gravitate towards supermarkets/hypermarkets in response to their decreased disposable income.
