PROSPECTS

Volume growth limited by a fairly stable cat population but value growth supported by premiumisation

Volume growth in cat food continued to be hampered by the relatively stable cat population in Germany in 2019. However, value growth is being supported by premiumisation.

Growing popularity of grain-free cat food

In wet cat food, grain-free offerings posted double-digit growth in 2018 according to trade sources, and are estimated to have accounted for close to half of the category’s value sales. In early 2018, the Purina Beyond range was extended into dry cat food, with the line offering three grain-free variants marketed as “rich in beef/chicken/salmon” to meet growing demand for natural products, while also offering high-quality protein to give cats more energy over a longer period of time when compared to less complex carbohydrates.

Dry cat food outperforms wet cat food but cat treats the most dynamic category overall

Dry cat food continued to outperform wet cat food in both volume and current value terms in 2019. Dry cat food benefits from being seen as more convenient and is also more often accepted and tolerated by cats.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Masterfoods remains the leading brand manufacturer

With a wide selection of popular brands and product ranges across the price spectrum, Masterfoods remained the leading brand manufacturer in cat food in 2018. However, its biggest brand, Whiskas, is increasingly being challenged by Nestlé’s Purina Felix and Purina Gourmet.

Private label continues to lead cat food overall

Private label continued to lead cat food overall in 2018, indeed further growing its value share by half a percentage point. The share of private label was boosted by premium ranges, notably those from the chained pet superstore Fressnapf and the internet retailer Zooplus.

Building on the bond between a cat and their owner

Given the strength of private label, manufacturers have to differentiate themselves by premium positioning and marketing – typically by appealing to cat owners’ attachment to their cat, adding value through sentiment and blurring the boundary between what the owner values and what the owner thinks their cat wants.
