PROSPECTS

Pet humanisation gains popularity

Pet humanisation, which refers to households viewing their pets as family members and adjusting their pets’ preferences accordingly, continues to emerge as a trend among the upper-income groups. Given the financial resilience of these upper-income groups, they can afford high expenditure on their pets, despite sluggish economic growth and rising unit prices.

Economic conditions affect consumer purchasing behaviour

South Africa slumped into a technical recession in 2018, which had a real effect on consumer purchasing choices. Despite the fast-growing pet humanisation trend, many South African consumers bore the brunt of the sluggish economy, combined with rising unit prices, particularly given the large population that falls in the lower LSM income groups in South Africa.

Cat treats become increasingly popular

The pet humanisation and premiumisation trends continue to strongly impact cat food, which has given rise to a slow but steady increase in cat treats. Marltons, an important player in pet products, has released a new range of cat treats, which include three flavours.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Mars Africa continues to lead cat food

Mars Africa, which owns the popular brands Whiskas and Royal Canin, retained its position as the leading player in cat food, despite a small decline in share between 2017 and 2018. The low-growth economic environment resulted in trading down, which refers to consumers switching to cheaper brands when the economy is not performing adequately to sustain their usual spending behaviour.

RCL Foods expands its production facilities

RCL Foods is gaining share faster than its competitors in cat food. Its strong company performance is ascribed to a new expansion strategy, after investing ZAR150 million in a new production plant.

Private label continues its positive growth trajectory

Private label continues its steady growth trajectory, with retailers such as Pick ‘n’ Pay and Woolworths driving this trend. Product availability exists across the price spectrum, thereby increasing attractiveness for consumers.
