PROSPECTS

Cat owners buy premium cat food and treats to pamper their pets

Cat ownership is slowly rising in contrast to the gradually dwindling dog population in the UK, although it is in line with the increase in the popularity of smaller dogs. Cats, like smaller dogs, are better suited as pets in smaller living spaces which are the result of increasing urbanisation in the UK.

Humanisation trend sees owners focus on specific nutrition for their cats

The humanisation trend remains a key driver behind new product development, especially among premium cat food variants such as Sheba wet cat treats. A growing number of cat owners are taking greater care over what food they buy for them.

Functional benefits boost premium dry cat food sales

Many manufacturers of wet cat food and cat treats have concentrated on reducing additives in their products in order to meet consumers’ demand for more natural cat food options, in line with the humanisation and health and wellness trends. New dry cat food launches have also followed these trends but have put a greater focus on specific functional benefits such as heart health or weight management.

Price competition becomes more important

Competition is fierce in cat food with a growing number of new product launches and demand for value from customers. The price proposition is a key advantage for private label producers looking for a share of premium cat food sales.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Mars and Nestlé go premium

Nestlé Purina remains the leading player in cat food; wide availability of products, huge marketing spends and innovation in premium products by Nestlé Purina’s top brands Purina Felix and Purina Gourmet continue to enable the manufacturer to retain top spot. Losing out to the dampened interest in mid-priced cat food, Purina Felix has been expanded to include options such as the It’s As Good As It Looks and Countryside Selection.

Luxury hand-fed treats tap into the desire for companionship

In cat food, the most dynamic brands are those that focus on luxury. Sheba is one such brand tapping into cat owners’ desire to pamper their pets with luxury food.

Sainsbury’s addresses hypoallergenic concerns

In early 2018, Sainsbury’s extended its private label cat food range, Complete Nutrition, with hypoallergenic products. The range has lower unit prices than branded products but fits into the premiumisation and humanisation trends, the latter encompassing intolerances.
