PET PRODUCTS IN TAIWAN -


CATEGORY ANALYSIS
HEADLINES

 Pet products records a vibrant value growth of 8% in 2011


 Pet dietary supplements registers the most rapid current value growth of 10% in 2011
 Consumers are increasingly educated on the availability and benefits of pet dietary
supplements and pet healthcare products
 Pet shops represents the key distribution channel of pet products, holding a 60% value share
in 2011
 Pet products is expected to deliver a constant value CAGR of 7% over the forecast period

TRENDS

 As humanisation increases with growing consumer awareness of the types of pet dietary
supplements and pet healthcare available, pet products will enjoy vibrant value growth of 8%
in 2011. Real GDP in Taiwan is bouncing back from the economic slowdown, reaching 9%
growth in 2010 and is expected to stand at a positive 4% in 2011. This bright outlook brings
about positive consumer sentiments, increasing the willingness to spend more on other pet
products from pet healthcare and pet dietary supplements to other non-essential pet products
such as toys for dogs and cats.
 Pet dietary supplements is expected to register the most rapid current value growth of 10% in
2011. Due to humanisation, a growing number of pet owners have come to perceive and
believe that their pets’ overall state of health can be improved by taking dietary supplements.
The willingness to try these products also comes from the improved economic outlook which
expanded many consumers’ disposable income and willingness to spend. Distribution is also
more common now, expanding beyond veterinary clinics to most pet shops and pet
superstores stocking more variety. Riding on a similar trend, pet healthcare will also grow by a
healthy 5% in current value terms in 2011.
 Cat litter is mostly used for cats and small mammals such as rabbits. Strong population
growth will take place for both cats and small mammals in 2011, with cats growing from
287,000 in 2010 to 292,000 in 2011 and small mammals increasing from 275,000 in 2010 to
286,000 in 2011. With this, cat litter will enjoy strong current value growth of 6% in 2011, two
percentage points faster than its growth in 2010.
 As consumers are more educated about the possible transmission of ticks and fleas, more
consumers purchase flea/tick treatments for their pets. These products are usually purchased
at specialist pet stores such as pet shops, pet superstores and veterinary clinics and are
applied at home without veterinary consult or supervision. Flea/tick treatments account for a
34% share of pet healthcare value sales. Worming treatments represent an 11% share of
value sales, while the remainder is accounted for by other products.
 Increasingly, at pet specialist stores such as pet shops, pet superstores and veterinary clinics,
consumers are provided with brief consultations on the recommended feeds for their pets. As
a result, consumer awareness on pet healthcare and pet dietary supplements is on the rise as
consumers recognise its ability to ensure the health and wellness of their beloved pets.

Therefore, pet shops, pet superstores and veterinary clinics represent a major 77% value
share of pet products sales in 2010.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

 Hartz Mountain Corp led pet products with a 6% value share in 2010. It has a broad range of
products including pet grooming essentials such as shampoos and brushes, to vitamins and
dietary supplements for numerous functions such as joint care. It has a fairly strong level of
brand awareness as it regularly posts adverts in pet magazines to promote its products. It is
also widely distributed across a vast network of pet shops and pet superstores.

PROSPECTS

 Pet products is expected to grow at a healthy constant value CAGR of 7% over the forecast
period. Moving forward, real GDP growth is expected to remain healthy in the range of 4% to
5% over the forecast period. Therefore, positive consumer sentiments are likely to drive pet
owners to continue purchasing non-essential but beneficial products such as pet dietary
supplements, pet healthcare and pet toys and cages which fall under other pet products.

PET CARE IN TAIWAN - INDUSTRY


OVERVIEW
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Market Size Booms Due To Higher Volume Growth and Increasing Unit
Prices
Taiwan’s pet care market recorded healthy growth in 2011, thanks to a stable economic
outlook and increasing average spend per pet. Although the total pet population continues to
decline, the on-going premiumisation and humanisation trends help to drive up total volume
sales. More consumers choose to purchase prepared pet food due to better knowledge of pet
care. Total market sales are further boosted as unit price is still trending upwards, albeit at a
slower pace compared to previous years.

Pet Demographic Shift Leads To Retail Sales Change


The downward trend of total pet population in Taiwan is mainly driven by the diminishing
population of medium and large-sized dogs. At the same time, continued urbanisation and
smaller living spaces led to the increasing population of cats and smaller dogs. Cat-related
products register the strongest growth and the trend is likely to continue into the forecast period.
In addition, the life expectancy of pets is prolonged due to better pet care and medical
treatment. The phenomenon is reflected in decreasing sales of puppies and kittens and
increasing contribution from senior dogs and cats.

Premium Segment More Resilient During Price Hikes


During the review period, the premium segment outperformed Taiwan’s pet care market. As
unit prices continued to rise, products positioned in the higher price band proved to be more
resilient. The message is well received by manufacturers and importers. More high-end
products, especially organic pet food or those that use natural ingredients have been introduced
to the Taiwan market. Some manufacturers which focus on mid-to-low price bands also plan to
expand their product offering and penetrate higher price segments.

Segmentation the Key To Drive Future Growth of Mid-priced Products


In recent years, mid-priced products saw slower growth as the market continues to polarise.
Many industry participants are adopting more nimble strategies and more extensive product
offerings to retain or attract new customers. In particular, some mid-priced brands start to launch
more breed-specific, age-specific and size-specific pet food products, which were only available
in premium-positioned brands in the past.

Superstore and Internet Retailing the Major Growing Distribution


Channels
Although the local economy has bounced back from the bottom, consumers have learned how
to shop more smartly and their purchase behaviour is reshaping the competitive landscape of
distribution channels. Pet superstores and internet retailing are taking shares from vet clinics
and small-scale pet stores, which used to be the major distribution channels in Taiwan.

Manufacturers and importers are also discovering the importance of the online community and
started to use online marketing more frequently.
