Pet Care in Brazil
May 2022
Pet care in 2022: The big picture
As 2020 ended, hope emerged in the face of COVID-19: vaccination. In January 2021, the first Brazilian citizen was immunised in the state of São Paulo.
2022 key trends
Preventative pet health is becoming more important for major players. According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Brazilian homes already have more pets than children.
Competitive landscape
Pet care is one of the most prominent industries in Brazil, and grew even more strongly in 2020 and 2021 during the pandemic, achieving dynamic results in volume and value terms, and this is set to continue in 2022 and beyond. Therefore, several companies are investing in expansion, mergers and acquisitions, and the development of new products for pets.
Retailing developments
The second half of 2021 was positively impacted by the ramping up of the country’s vaccination programme. Therefore, consumers returned to physical points of sale, helping to maintain the growth and relevance of these channels.
What next for pet care?
The more acute pandemic phase of 2020 and 2021, and to some extent at the beginning of 2022, seems to have ended, ushering in the post-pandemic scenario. In the future, it is expected that pet adoption rates will stabilise, owners will spend longer periods away from home, and therefore they will invest in resources to ensure their pets’ wellbeing during their absence.
