Other Pet Food in Norway

HEADLINES

PROSPECTS

The humanisation trend does little to drive premium sales for small mammal/reptile food 

Bird food sees a small boost in sales as grocery retailers’ stock it once again, to remain competitive 

Fish food continues to struggle as a lack of humanisation stunts growth, and the landscape lacks clear direction 

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Grocery retailers share remains small as other pet food results in low profits, whereas the share of e-commerce is on the rise

There is a lack of Norwegian subsidiaries and private label offerings in other pet food, hampering overall growth

A lack of new entrant’s limits growth, however, small mammal food offers the best scope for premiumisation

Dog Food in Norway

HEADLINES

PROSPECTS

Premiumisation and offering a wide range of variants in dog food, boosts competitors’ performance 

Private label increasingly challenges established players with new launches aligned to consumer demands

Cat Food in Norway

HEADLINES

PROSPECTS

Premiumisation, diversification and pricing battles drives growth in cat food 

Convenience drives sales for grocery stores, and single-serving wet food formats 

Natural food and a focus on ingredients is a key trend in cat food, with owners reaching for high-meat, grain-free and raw offerings 

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Nestlé Norge AS retains its lead of the landscape, as both Nestlé and Mars focus on premium products to compete
