Competitive Landscape
Top Players Reinforce Leadership Amid Moderate Market Concentration
The dog food market in Denmark exhibited moderate concentration in 2025, with Mars Danmark A/S holding the largest share at 11% in 2025, showing a gradual decline from 12% in 2021 but remaining the foremost leader. Coop Danmark A/S followed closely with a share of 9% in 2025, having increased from 8% in 2021.
Consumer Concerns of Product Origin Shift Focus Towards European Sourcing and Transparency
A notable development in dog food in Denmark is the heightened consumer sensitivity towards product origin, especially following reports of illnesses linked to imported chew products perceived as originating from Asian, particularly Chinese, manufacturers. This has prompted pet owners to exercise increased caution, favouring products produced within Europe or locally.
