Pet Care in Taiwan
May 2022
Pet care in 2022: The big picture
The lingering impact of the pandemic in Taiwan is continuing to have an influence on pet care heading into 2022, leading to predictions for stable demand and further rising value sales for the year. A ban on international travel and prolonged home seclusion have significantly driven up pet ownership in the country, with cat ownership in particular continuing to grow.
2022 key trends
Premiumisation of pet care continues to grow in line with the pet humanisation trend in Taiwan, as many new pet owners treat their pets as family members or even substitutes for children. The pet humanisation trend is also beginning to extend to older generations.
Competitive landscape
Major international brands can thrive in Taiwanese pet care through investment in product innovation. For instance, Nestlé’s Pro Plan launched a new dry cat product called LiveClear in 2021, which claims to be the first product to reduce the impact of allergens on cat hair and dander, thereby supporting owners that are normally allergic to cats.
Retailing developments
Despite a wave of COVID-19 in April 2021, the impact of the pandemic in Taiwan compared to many other countries has been relatively limited. Nevertheless, many local consumers have refrained from leaving their homes for fear of exposure, meaning that they visited pet stores or pet superstores less frequently, resulting in higher spend per basket.
What next for pet care?
There is likely to be a more significant polarisation trend occurring in both cat food and dog food over the forecast period due to the lingering negative economic impact of the pandemic. Some consumers drawn to ultra-premium natural diets are likely to switch to premium brands such as Royal Canin or Hill's Science Diet for cost reasons.
