Africa Pet Food Market- Size, Trends, Competitive Analysis and Forecasts (2020-2025)

Buy Report

Changing demographics and economic growth in Africa has led to rising household consumption, which is expected to reach $2.5 trillion by 2030. The urbanization rate in Africa is at 37% and forecasted to be the fastest urbanizing region in the world. The growing young population and urbanization are changing the consumption pattern and dietary habits, leading to increased consumption of packed food. The urban population is also becoming further inclined to own pets. A concomitant fallout is a massive increase in demand for pet food, health products, and accessories. The Africa pet food market provides substantial growth prospects and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2020 to 2025.

Demand Driving Factors

Africa’s emerging economies present growth opportunities for global businesses for expansion and distribution. Seven countries—Nigeria, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Tanzania, Kenya, and South Africa—will hold half of the continent’s population. The rising income levels among all socioeconomic groups and increasing pet adoption is encouraging more pet food manufacturers to introduce their products to the continent.

Financial stability and urbanization are changing consumer preferences and thus modernizing the food systems. Food environments in Africa are changing swiftly, with modern retailers—such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, and fast-food restaurants—sprawling in major cities. The shift from traditional markets to modern supermarkets has made the distribution of pet food easy and also helped expand consumer awareness about pet food. All these factors are accelerating the demand for pet food in Africa.

Factors Obstructing Growth

The preference of pet owners to feed pets relatively inexpensive home-cooked meals, rather than store-bought pet food is hindering the growth of the market. Low awareness about the high nutritional value of manufactured pet food and the high cost is also resulting in pet food having a ‘low calorific coverage’ (share of stomach) among pets. The steady and continuous supply of quality raw materials is a struggle in Africa, as farmers don’t stay loyal to one buyer. As a result, the pet food manufacturers face difficulty in maintaining a smooth production process and quality of products, hindering the supply of pet food in Africa. Moreover, the dominance of informal trade and the vast rural population makes distribution a complex exercise.

South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria occupy 70% of market share

South Africa is the dominant market for pet food in Africa. The country also acts as a hub for pet food distribution across the continent. With rising economic stability in Egypt and Nigeria, the demand for pet food is also growing. Dog food is the most dominant pet food category in the region. The pet owners prefer to buy dry food due to its cheaper cost. Dry food holds a dominant market share; however, the demand for snacks and treats is slowly rising. Supermarkets, vet clinics, and pet shops are the major points of distribution of pet food among all major countries.

Competitive Landscape

The pet food industry in Africa is fragmented among both international and local manufacturers. Nestle Purina, Mars Pet Care, and Royal Canin are key international pet food players in the market. Pet food brands are investing heavily in marketing at events/ pet shows, sampling at vet clinics and pet stores, discounts, awareness drives, etc. to create brand awareness and acquire customers. Manufacturers are also collaborating with supermarkets, grocery stores, and pharmacies in addition to veterinary clinics and pet shops to strengthen distribution channels.
