Cat Food in the United Kingdom
May 2022
PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Fresh and raw food climbs upwards
As more pet owners consider themselves parents of their cats, and include them as another member of the family, food which closely resembles their own is in greater demand, a trend which will endure into the forecast period. Freeze-dried, fresh and raw food has remained largely inaccessible to pet owners, due to much higher unit prices.
Alternative proteins a natural trajectory for cat food
Given that cats are carnivorous, there is greater pressure on brands to act on the environmental impact of their products. Because veganism is not an option for felines, one avenue which has gradually been gaining traction is insect protein.
Private label eyes the opportunities
Major private label retailers will invariably benefit from the squeeze on incomes which the pandemic has presented. This is particularly evident in economy dry and wet cat food, as well as treats and mixers, where the likes of Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury’s have increased their actual sales, many in percentage terms too.
