PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Pet owners expected to have a greater focus on healthy ingredients
Sales of dog food in China are expected to see a slight negative CAGR in both retail volume terms and retail value terms at constant 2025 prices in the forecast period, impacted by the anticipated continued decrease in the dog population, and the move towards smaller dogs which do not consume as much dog food. The decline will be driven by dry dog food, especially the economy and mid-priced platforms, although dry dog food will remain the largest category.
Retail e-commerce likely to remain dominant
Retail e-commerce is likely to remain the dominant distribution channel for dog food in China over the forecast period, benefiting from convenience, relatively low shipping fees, and extensive logistics which cover even small cities and towns. Nevertheless, in a continuation of the trend seen at the end of the review period, veterinary clinics is set to gain share, as consumers in China are increasingly seeking professional advice on their pets’ wellbeing.
Players set to expand their product portfolios to cover different age groups
Players in dog food in China are set to launch more age-specific products going forward, as dogs in different age groups often have distinct dietary needs. Considering this new trend, MyFoodie from Gambol Pet Group launched the Barf series, which is specially designed for senior dogs.
