Executive Summary

Jun 2019
Consumers’ economic caution continues to challenge pet care manufacturers

Pet food in Russia is seeing moderate price increases, in line with or slightly higher than the inflation rate. As a result of economic downturn and the decline in consumers’ expenditure, there is high promotional pressure in a number of consumer goods categories, including pet food.

Russian consumers are generally very rational in terms of spending and try to save.

This is reflected in pet products: buyers look for low prices on products which they can stock up on and try to buy large packs in order to obtain a better price. This behaviour puts pressure on manufacturers trying to maintain pre-economic crisis profits.

Owners’ attachment to their pets offers opportunities for manufacturers

Pet owners have a very strong emotional attachment to their pets. Interestingly, there are more pets than children in Russia.

More domestic manufacturers enter the competition

Two international players continue to dominate pet care: Mars Inc and Nestlé SA. In 2018, both companies opened new pet food manufacturing plants in Russia.

Modern retail and internet retailing do best but offline chain expansion holds prospects

Internet retailing is the fastest growing channel for pet care in Russia. Modern retail is also growing, while sales in offline specialist pet stores are slowing down.

Pet care expects steady development

Pet care in Russia has great potential, with sales boosted by the increasing pet population and greater use of internet retailing and modern retail channels. Specialist pet stores, both chains and single stores, are expected to lose share of economy goods as pet owners increasingly use them solely for premium or therapeutic products, influenced by premiumisation and pet humanisation trends.
