Market Report, "Other Pet Food in the US", published

The main characteristic for other pet food during 2013 was a rebound (relative to previous years) in other pet populations. Other pet populations achieved positive growth in 2013 for the first time after several years in decline, primarily due to positive growth in fish populations and continued deceleration of decline in bird, small mammal and reptile populations. The trend towards the improvement of other pet populations can be traced back to 2012, a year marked by a large deceleration of the rate of decline of all three categories of other pet populations. A positive shift in other pet populations has been observed in other countries as well, including Western European markets, where the change has been associated with the adjustment of consumers to a weaker economic context, under the belief that other pets, especially small mammals, are less expensive to maintain. Conversely, in the US, perceived economic recovery might explain the rebound in other pet populations by enabling households to have multiple types of pets.

Competitive Landscape

The competitive environment for other pet food is highly fragmented, with many different species and animals necessitating multiple varieties of pet food. Additionally, the special dietary needs of some pets require home preparation of food. Whilst companies with strong distribution relationships with leading pet superstores and national supermarket chains such as Tetra GmbH, Central Garden & Pet Co and Hartz Mountain Corp have high market shares, a large number of speciality companies and niche brands are readily available to US bird, fish and small mammal owners.

Industry Prospects

Other pet food value sales are expected to exhibit 1% CAGR at constant 2014 prices during the 2014-2019 forecast period. Volume sales are expected to increase by less than 1% CAGR, especially due to potential declines in other pet populations should new animal oversight regulations emerge to control demographics of more exotic species.
