PROSPECTS

Independent young women support increasing ownership of cats

Independent young women comprise the main group of cat owners in Taiwan, as they tend to live in apartments which may dictate that they are not permitted to keep pets or make noise. Therefore, the general quiet nature of cats and their overall cleanliness mean that it is easier to keep them in apartments without detection.

Increasing demand for more functional premium food

Cats tend to be more fastidious in the type of food they consume compared to dogs, and do not always drink enough water. While mid-priced dry cat food continued to hold the highest volume share within the category, sales of wet cat food continued to strengthen over the review period as this type of food allows the cat to take in greater water content.

Content marketing to support owners’ understanding of cats’ requirements

With the increasing popularity of internet retailing in Taiwan, especially amongst the younger tech-savvy generation, content marketing has become extremely important when selling cat food compared to dog food, because of the strong growth in the cat population and steady uptake in cat ownership towards the end of the review period. With a gradual move towards premiumisation in cat food, owners want to fully understand what they are purchasing and the main reasons why they should be purchasing a certain product.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Greater demand for health-positioned food amongst some cat owners

Although many cat owners in Taiwan perceive that food with a natural positioning is healthier for their cats, or they might prefer to prepare fresh food for their cats rather than purchase commercial food, busy lifestyles amongst the core consumer group, young women, dictate that prepared food now dominates the percentage of total consumption. Therefore, some consumers search for premium products that they believe can offer their cats the correct nutrition such as Royal Canin, Hill’s Science Diet and Purina Mon Petit.

Multinationals Mars and Hill’s continue to lead cat food

Cat food continues to be led overall by Mars Inc, which offers popular mid-priced wet and dry cat food Whiskas, and Hill's Pet Nutrition Inc, with its premium dry cat food brand Hill's Science Diet, supporting the fact that mid-priced and premium dry cat food hold the largest combined volume share in the overall category. Whiskas enjoys wide distribution within pet shops and modern grocery retailers, in addition to strong marketing, while Hill’s Science Diet is known for its sales though veterinary clinics due to its premium and specific image.

New premium launches made with quinoa to offer health positioning

Taiwanese company RealPower Nutrition Corporation launched a new brand in September 2018 called Real Nature, which specifically targets cats’ health. The new series provides grain-free cat food with organic quinoa, which is also a very popular super food seen more in human food in Taiwan.
