Pet Products in Saudi Arabia

PROSPECTS

Warm climate and close proximity living give rise to good quality cat litter

Consumers in Saudi Arabia are becoming more conscious of the environment on a global level, but at local level too, with greater consideration given to the pleasantness of living conditions for themselves and their pets. This has translated into demand for new types of cat litter, such as Biokat’s Organic Cat Litter which entered the market in 2018.

Social media plays a part in the rise of pet products

Products for cats are having the biggest influence on sales of pet products in Saudi Arabia, with the cat population increasing. Social media sites such as Instagram have also influenced sales of pet products with owners trying to make their pets look their best for photos and ‘likes’.

Owners value their pets’ health and buy in to the growing range of dietary supplements

Owners increasingly treat their pets as small children and family members, rather than simple as animals. Studies have stated that pet ownership is capable of reducing stress and the blood pressure of humans and helping them to ward off or alleviate depression or bad moods.
