Competitive Landscape
Leading Manufacturers Maintain Positions Due to Strong Brand Equity and Innovation
The cat food landscape in Spain remained dominated by a few key players, with Nestlé Purina Petcare España SA holding the largest share at 20% in 2025, followed by Affinity Petcare SA with 16%. However, these companies experienced a gradual decline in share for both these leaders over recent years, reflecting a modest shift towards a less concentrated environment.
