Executive summary

The overall market improves slightly

Pet food and pet care products is expected to perform slightly better in value terms in 2008 than it did in 2007. With decreasing inflation and a growing GDP, consumers are more willing and able to buy pets which were generally only previously found amongst the higher income segments of the population. Fish and birds are found in lower income households, and therefore continues to remain a minor market in Egypt. A major reason contributing to the generally low performance of the pet food and pet care products market in Egypt is due to the inconsistency of products available.

Dog and cat food is the main sector

With an increasing number of people moving to suburbs such as 6th of October City and Kattemeya Heights, people are now more willing to have dogs as pets. Living in an apartment in the centre of the city previously made it hard to clean, feed and entertain dogs.

Foreign companies dominate the pet food and pet care products market

With dog food and cat food being the main two categories in pet food and pet care products in Egypt, foreign players are much more profitable, as their products are aimed towards higher income households. High income earners are more inclined to buy products from well known suppliers, since their products are believed to be superior quality. These products are expensive due to taxation by the Egyptian government when imported, as well as other costs which are incurred when importing a product. The products available in the market are either premium or economy, with a lack of mid-priced pet food. The availability of mid-priced pet food could help boost sales of food, and move some consumers from economy priced food up to mid-priced food.

Non-prepared food continues to dominate

The majority of the Egyptian population lies in the middle to lower income bracket, with only a very small percentage in the higher income bracket. Pets are considered a luxury in Egypt, due to the costs associated with having one, especially dogs and cats. However, even when people on lower incomes opt to have a dog or cat as a pet, buying prepared food is beyond their budget. A typical meal prepared by a family for their dog or cat consists of minced meat, vegetables and milk. This will continue to be the trend in Egypt as long as prepared food is substantially more expensive then non-prepared food.

Veterinarians and shelters become more abundant in 2008

With an increase in awareness of animal rights in Egypt, the number of shelters increased more in 2008 than in any other year. The number of veterinarians also increased; another sign of an increase in awareness of animal rights. Many of the veterinary clinics in Egypt used to be generally run down and unprofessional. However, in 2008, clean, modern clinics emerged.
