Executive summary

Recession begins to impact sales

Current value sales of pet food and pet care products increased only slightly in 2009 over the previous year, seeing the lowest growth throughout the whole review period. Lower growth was due to the financial crisis and recession that hit Sweden and the rest of the world in late-2008. One result of the crisis was slower growth in the number of pets, especially dogs. This had an immediate impact on value sales of pet food and pet care products in the form of slower growth.

Economic crisis hits pet services

One immediate result of the economic crisis was a decrease in sales of pet services. These are usually small companies with limited financial power. Many dog owners cut down on their spending on pet services when the crisis began during late-2008. Pet services saw strong growth in sales from 2003 to 2008. Demand for pet services still exists but in the current economic situation these services are regarded as a luxury.

Strong dominance for multinational companies

Swedish pet food and pet care products market is dominated by multinational companies. Excluding private label products, only two companies are domestic among the top 10 companies in Sweden. Mars Sverige is the leading player and has a strong presence in most product areas. Mars is followed by Nestlé Purina PetCare Sweden and domestic company Lantmännen Doggy.

Pet shops and supermarkets/hypermarkets dominate distribution

Two distribution channels clearly dominate sales of pet food and pet care products, supermarkets/hypermarkets and pet shops, with the latter just ahead in terms of share. Pet shops benefited from growing demand for premium brands, although the channel’s share fell in late-2008 as many pet owners cut down on their purchase of premium brands. Pet superstores are meanwhile few in number in Sweden and their share is small. Internet retailing meanwhile saw its share increase rapidly but this remained a minor channel in 2008.

Small increase forecast

Constant value sales of pet food and pet care products are forecast to see slow growth during the forecast period. During the peak of the economic crisis in 2010, constant value sales are expected to decrease. However, from 2011 onwards sales forecast to recover slowly and contribute to growth. Treats for cats and dog will continue to be the best performing categories also over the forecast period as the humanisation trend remains strong..
