Covid-19 Impact on Europe:
In early 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on the European economy, with the region experiencing a larger hit than the global economy. Manufacturing across both European Union and Euro area was impacted by short-term supply disruptions. The crisis triggered policy responses from the European Union and other governments across the region with the EU announcing Euro 750 billion package, Next Generation EU, to help the European Union tackle the crisis caused by pandemic, and most manufacturing based industries exhibited recovery during the third quarter (Q3) of 2020.
In 2020, Eurogroup also provided three safety nets worth Euro 540 billion package to support jobs and workers, businesses, and member states. On the back of these measures, Europe’s economy continues to recover in 2021 with expected growth of 3.5 to 4% for 2021.
Pet Care Records Positive Growth:
According to our latest Europe Pet Care Market report, the region’s pet care market sustained positive growth in 2020. European pet owners continued to spend more on high-quality pet food especially dog and cat treats as lockdowns allowed them to spend more time with their pets at home and they ended up rewarding their pets with more premium treats. This helped both dog and cat treats to register higher value growth in the region. Region’s pet care growth was also supported by a surge in pet ownership as according to Pet Food Manufacturers Association, around 11% of UK households welcomed a new pet during 2020.
Europe pet care sector witnessed flurry of mergers and acquisitions in 2020 as Nestle acquired Lily’s Kitchen in 2020 and in October 2020, Spectrum Brands acquired pet treat and pet toy manufacturer, Armitage Pet Care for GBP 140 million. Companies offerings niche products have become potential acquisition targets as European pet parents continue to opt for more natural pet food that are gluten-free and GMO-free and offer increased health benefits, like dog food with Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids for healthy skin and probiotics in dry formula to help maintain digestive health. Pet food companies offering pet food with glucosamine for healthy joints and strong bones, and proteins, vitamins, and minerals for complete and balanced nutrition of dogs & cats, saw higher growth in the region. With continuance of pet humanization coupled with ongoing premiumization in pet food, European pet care industry continues to remain attractive and is forecast to touch USD 23 billion by 2025.
Innovative Product Launches:
Europe witnessed the highest number of product launches in the dog and cat food category across the globe with over 102 dog and cat food brands launched during 2020 and 2021. Nestle Purina launched a new cat food ‘Pro Plan Live Clear’ in the United Kingdom with the claims of being the first cat food to reduce allergens on cat’s hair and dander. The product naturalizes allergens in cat saliva, meaning less is transferred to the animal’s hair and dander when it grooms. Majority of new launches are in line with continued premiumization in pet food trends. Market leader Mars continued to launch new products in the region and in the year 2021, Mars launched a new dog food ‘Cesar Natural Goodness’ under its Cesar brand with 100% natural ingredients. Dog and cat food category also witnessed tens of new launches from small players such as Vitakraft, Animonda Petcare, Petco, Butcher’s Petcare Ltd. Etc.
Mars & Nestle Purina Maintain Leadership:
Mars Inc. the trademark owner of Pedigree, Whiskas, Sheba, Cesar, and other brands, and Nestle Purina that operates through Felix, Nestle Gourmet, Purina One, Go Cat, etc. dominate the region’s pet food market. Germany’s Fressnapf Holding, Affinity Petcare, Farmina Pet Foods, and Spectrum Brands are also strong pet food companies in the region. Fressnapf Holding, one of Europe’s leading pet retailers acquired Danish pet store chain Petworld, which operates over 36 stores in Denmark as well as online shops in Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Norway. The acquisition was completed by Fressnapf’s subsidiary Maxi Zoo Denmark, which happens to be a leading pet store chain in the Scandinavian country with over 46 outlets.
E-retailers Record Strongest Growth:
European pet parents increasingly favored pet products’ shopping on the web during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The trend of shifting from traditional stores to e-retailers was already emerging, however, it witnessed a significant boost during the pandemic. Mars Petcare captured the trend and created an e-commerce platform within four weeks for its James Wellbeloved pet nutrition brand. Further, as per an internal survey conducted in UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia over 68% of e-shoppers said that they would continue buying their pet care products food from e-retailers in the post-pandemic period as well.
