New animal-related laws could limit future sales

Pet care in Belgium continued to record solid current value growth in 2019, with dog food, cat food, other pet food and pet products all registering positive results. The industry continues to benefit from a growing pet population, albeit growing fairly slowly.

Value growth driven by premiumisation

Despite a volume decline in dog food overall and some cat food categories, value growth continues to be driven by premiumisation, with more Belgian pet owners trading up from mid-priced to premium food due to there not being a significant gap in price between the two segments. The premiumisation trend is being supported by better education with regard to tailored nutrition, with the marketplace seeing many more products focusing on digestive health, weight management, breed, pet age and condition, such as Poesie by VitaKraft.

Changing shopping habits and proactive private label producers pose a threat to the multinationals

Mars Belgium remained the leading player in pet care in 2018, maintaining a significant gap over second-placed Nestlé Purina PetCare. However, the share of both manufacturers continued to decline slightly.

Internet retailing boosted by subscription services as grocery retailers are forced to diversify

Internet retailing continued to boom in pet care in 2019, recording another year of double-digit value sales growth. The channel’s gain in share is largely being fuelled by pure online players such as Zooplus and Amazon, as well as relatively new entrants like Azoo and Direct-Vet, which are seen as being discounters of premium products.

Tailored nutrition and natural options support the forecast performance

Pet care in Belgium is expected to register a significantly stronger performance over the forecast period in current value terms when compared to the review period. While volume growth will be hard to come by as a result of a slightly declining overall pet population, value growth will be driven by various factors, but primarily the price-inflating premiumisation, convenience and pet humanisation trends.
