Executive summary

Premium reigns supreme

2008 value sales grew by 5% in current terms in 2008. Premium dry products in both cat and dog food are expected to be most dynamic, particularly in dog food. However, the real star is pet healthcare which, along with premium dry dog food, is expected to see the highest growth in 2008. Pet owners are trading up to premium brands, as more pet owners are willing to spend and pamper pets.

Humanisation of animals continues

In 2008 pet care products are expected to grow stronger than in 2007. As owners continue to humanise their animals the bond between owner and pet grows stronger, with an increasing amount spent on pet pampering, as owners buy more pet well-being, health, diet products and toys. The emerging industries of doggy day-care and pet grooming and walking services indicate the increasing importance of pets in New Zealand.

Global players dominate

In New Zealand, the pet food and pet care products market is dominated by global players, all of whom are entering the market with new product additions, especially in grocery, at a rapid rate. The main players include Mars New Zealand Ltd (formerly Masterfoods Australia New Zealand), Nestlé Purina PetCare New Zealand and Heinz Wattie’s Foods Ltd. They all have ranges of wet and dry food products in various price segments. The main local players tend to have a presence in niches such as wet “dog roll” from Butch Pet Foods Ltd, and chilled pet food from Bombay Pet Foods Ltd.

Pet shops showing growth

Pet shops’ value share of pet food and pet care products increased in 2008 while grocery retailers’ value share dropped in 2008. This is due to local pet shops expanding in New Zealand in 2008. On top, premium dog and cat food, which is mainly sold through pet shops, showed growth in 2008, driving pet shops to grow.

Future looks bright

Pet food and pet care products will post a constant value CAGR of 3% over the forecast period. The strength lies in the expected growth performance of healthcare and premium dry food products for both cats and dogs. Both these categories are high unit price items, and value will therefore remain strong. The premiumisation trend is expected to continue over the forecast period, as pet owners’ disposable income is expected to increase, which will then encourage pet owners to trade up.
