PET CARE IN COLOMBIA


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Pet Care Continues To Benefit From Rising Pet Ownership and the
Humanisation Trend
Pet care in Colombia looks set to continue performing strongly in 2017, with double-digit
growth in total current value sales projected. The positive development of the market will
continue to be underpinned by growth in the country’s pet population and the pet humanisation
trend. At the same time, the market will continue to benefit from rising disposable incomes in
Colombia and the growing willingness of many owners to trade up to higher quality and more
expensive pet care products, particularly health-oriented pet food products. These trends should
also help to sustain robust growth in total pet food volume sales in 2017.

Pet Humanisation Trend Encourages Pet Care Companies To Expand


Their Portfolios
In line with the pet humanisation trend, Colombians are increasingly treating pets like family
members. As a result, owners are becoming more willing to buy higher quality and added value
products that can improve the general health, wellbeing and appearance of their pets. These
include breed-, age- and lifestyle-specific pet food products, as well as pet treats. At the same
time, the pet humanisation trend is making many owners more inclined to spend money on non-
essential product types and services such as clothing for cats and dogs, pet grooming etc. It is
expected that companies across the pet care market will continue to expand and diversify their
portfolios in response to the pet humanisation trend in 2017.

Nestlé Purina and Contegral Remain the Top Two Players in Pet Care in
2016
Nestlé Purina PetCare de Colombia SA remained the leading company in Colombian pet care
in retail value sales terms in 2016, followed by Contegral SA and Mars Andean Ltda. The
competitive environment remained relatively fragmented overall, with plenty of room for new
entrants, reflecting the fact that pet care is still some distance from maturity in Colombia.
Several pet care categories witnessed new launches during the year as new entrants and
established players alike sought to capitalise on the pet humanisation trend. At the same time,
many companies continued working to improve retail distribution of their pet care products in
2016.

Retail Distribution of Pet Care Products Continues To Improve in


Colombia
It is expected that retail distribution of pet care products will continue to improve in Colombia
in 2017, via both pet specialists channels (pet superstores, pet shops and veterinary clinics) and
mainstream grocery retailers channels such as supermarkets, hypermarkets and discounters.
Smaller and emerging channels are also expected to gain ground in pet care distribution,
including internet retailing and warehouse clubs. Wider distribution should in turn continue to
have a positive impact on demand for various types of pet care products.

Demographic Trends Should Continue To Bolster Market Development


Over 2017-2022
Colombians are increasingly postponing marriage and parenthood until they are older in order
to focus on their education and careers. This is fuelling a gradual movement towards smaller
household and family sizes in the country. It is expected that these demographic changes will
continue to encourage growth in pet ownership over the forecast period, with more people
adopting cats, dogs etc as substitutes for children or as companions. This will in turn help to
strengthen the pet humanisation trend, and lead more owners to increase spending on products
and services that can improve the health and general wellbeing of their pets. All of this will help
to sustain the positive development of the Colombian pet care market towards 2022.

KEY TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS

Pet Humanisation Trend Continues To Bolster Demand for Prepared Pet


Food Products
Traditionally, dogs and cats in Colombia were primarily fed on table scraps. Consumers
sometimes purchased dry dog and cat food products to mix with table scraps, while wet food
products were almost unheard of. However, over recent decades more and more pet owners in
the country have made the switch from leftovers or table scraps to prepared dog and cat food
products, both dry and wet varieties. A key driver of this switching trend has been pet
humanisation, whereby owners are increasingly inclined to see pets as family members and
therefore willing to spend money on prepared food products that can improve their health and
general wellbeing.
Pet humanisation was initially strongest among urban consumers, but has now also spread to
rural areas. Marketing activities and frequent new launches by pet food manufacturers have
played a key role in encouraging consumers to see pets as family members, and to treat them
accordingly by providing them with healthy, well-balanced diets. In recent years, this trend has
strengthened consumer interest in more sophisticated dog and cat food products that offer
advanced nutritional benefits, including breed-, age- and lifestyle-specific variants. Moreover,
even consumers who continue to feed their dogs and cats table scraps often mix the latter with
prepared food to ensure their pets have a sufficient intake of essential nutrients.

Outlook
It is expected that the share of total food consumed by dogs and cats in Colombian
households represented by prepared products will continue to rise steadily over the forecast
period. Aside from the pet humanisation trend, switching from leftovers or table scraps to
prepared dog and cat food products should also be driven by rising disposable incomes and the
growing desire for convenience among urban consumers with busy lifestyles. New launches and
marketing activities by manufacturers will also encourage switching to prepared dog and cat
food products, as should better education among owners about the specific nutritional
requirements of different breeds, animals of different ages or sizes, animals with different health
conditions etc.
The benefits of the pet humanisation trend will continue to be most evident in dog and cat
food. This trend will be less influential in other pet food, partly because animals such as birds
and reptiles are not as responsive to owners as dogs and cats, which means they are less likely
to be seen as family members. In addition, many Colombians tend to perceive birds, fish, small
mammals and reptiles as “wild” animals, and dislike the idea of keeping them as pets from an
ethical standpoint. This attitude is reinforced by the fact that Colombia is a country rich in

biodiversity, hence many people are accustomed to seeing these types of animals in their
natural habitats.

Relative Immaturity of Pet Care Presents Both Opportunities and


Challenges
Pet care is still a relatively immature market in Colombia, and retains plenty of room for
expansion and new product development. This helped to ensure that the market was able to
record double-digit growth in total current value sales through the review period, even when the
development of the local economy slowed, as was the case in 2016. This consistently positive
performance also reflected that fact that in many Colombian households, pet care products, and
in particular pet food products, are now considered a necessity. Unsurprisingly, these conditions
have encouraged companies across the pet care market to invest in the expansion and
diversification of their product portfolios in recent years.
Innovation in pet care has been accompanied by increased investment in a wide range of pet-
related services in Colombia. This has led to the opening of more veterinary clinics and pet
shops outlets, as well as the development of more specialised businesses such as pet
psychologists and dentists, pet insurance services, pet spas and grooming parlours, pet hotels,
training schools and day care centres, pet restaurants and even pet funeral homes. The pet
humanisation trend has played a central role in strengthening consumer interest in these kinds
of ancillary services.

Outlook
Opportunities for the development of new pet care products and pet-related services will
remain strong in Colombia over the forecast period, but will not come without challenges. For
manufacturers in both wet dog food and wet cat food, the main challenges will be to reduce
costs so as to make these product types more affordable, and to convince owners that they
should give them to their pets as a main meal every day, rather than as a mixer for table scraps
or as an occasional treat. That wet food products are comparatively expensive is largely due to
the fact that they are made from protein-rich ingredients such as meat, chicken and fish.
Manufacturers may find it easier to convince cat owners to switch to wet food than dog owners.
This is because cats eat less, meaning the overall cost of feeding them is generally lower than is
the case with dogs. However, whereas dogs tend to eat full meals in one go, cats tend to be
given smaller amounts of food throughout the day. This discourages some cat owners from
choosing wet food products, as they do not want the inconvenience and unpleasant odours that
come with having to store half-eaten packs. Moreover, the price gap between wet and dry cat
food is still substantial. The same is true with regard to wet and dry dog food products. While
economy wet dog food products are widely available in Colombia, owners often have doubts
about their quality and whether any benefits they might provide justify their significantly higher
prices as compared to dry food products.
Another challenge for dog and cat food manufacturers over the forecast period will be to
reduce packaging costs. In particular, companies will have to find ways to reduce such costs
while still using packaging formats and designs that can help their brands to stand out on
crowded retail shelves or provide greater convenience to consumers in terms of storage,
dispensing, portability etc.

Competition Between Retailers of Pet Care Products Continues To


Intensify
Competition in Colombian pet care has intensified considerably in recent years as the number
of brands and products on offer in different categories has increased. This includes not only

© Euromonitor International
PET CARE IN COLOMBIA Passport 4

competition between manufacturers or distributors, but also competition between the various
types of retailers that sell pet care products. One of the most visible manifestations of this latter
trend is competition between pet specialists (pet superstores, pet shops and veterinary clinics)
and mainstream grocery retailers such as supermarkets and hypermarkets chains.
Some pet specialists operators have attempted to strengthen their competitiveness against
grocery retailers by developing added-value services such as kennels or pet daycare facilities,
pet grooming parlours, in-store veterinary clinics etc. At the same time, pet specialists have
sought to attract consumers by offering more niche or specialised product types that are not
carried by mainstream grocery retailers, including breed-, age- and size-specific dog and cat
food products and various types of pet accessories. Aside from the competitive threat posed by
grocery retailers, pet specialists have also adopted such strategies in an effort to more
effectively capitalise on the pet humanisation trend.

Outlook
Increasing competition will continue to drive different types of retailers to expand and adjust
their assortments of pet care products and services over the forecast period. Many pet
specialists will continue to focus on offering higher quality brands and more niche or non-
essential product types, as well as ancillary pet care services. Grocery retailers meanwhile are
more likely to concentrate on offering more affordable mainstream brands. It is also expected
that some grocery retailers will invest in expanding and improving the quality of their private
label pet care ranges, while still ensuring that they maintain a price advantage over branded
competitors.
For pet care manufacturers, focusing on specific distribution channels or entering into
exclusive agreements with individual retail chains could help to differentiate their brands from
competitors. Such strategies could also help companies to foster a desired brand image or
positioning. For example, some players may choose to limit distribution of health-oriented or
organic pet food products to pet specialists such as pet shops or veterinary clinics, as retailers
in these channels are more likely to be trusted by consumers when it comes to issues like pet
health and nutrition.
