Dog Food in the United Arab Emirates

KEY DATA FINDINGS

2021 IMPACT

Dog food continues to exhibit double-digit growth in retail current value sales, but declining expatriate population drives modest slowdown

Dog treats and mixers will be the top performer in terms of retail current value sales growth, as busy owners seek to indulge their pets

Strong brand recognition helps Mars stay on top, but smaller players continue to prosper in premium dog food

RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES

Post-pandemic economic recovery should help to reverse decline in expatriate population, boosting demand for dog food

E-commerce will become more important, with some brands bypassing physical stores entirely

Small is beautiful

Cat Food in the United Arab Emirates

KEY DATA FINDINGS

2021 IMPACT

Humanisation trend continues to drive strong growth in demand for premium cat food and cat treats and mixers

Nestlé and Mars remain dominant, but with premium brands proliferating, competition is growing more intense

Smaller players focus on nutritional quality, with grain-free, organic and all-natural offerings

RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES
