"Cat Food in the US" is now available at Fast Market Research

Relative to 2013's trends and development, during 2014, no significant changes are expected in cat food. The category will continue to derive most of its growth from high value growth rates in cat treats and in the premium dry and wet cat food categories. Just as in the dog food category, health and wellness trends such as grain-free, natural, organic and metabolism-boosting formulas also permeate demand and premium product assortments in cat food, at a more moderate degree.

Competitive Landscape

The competitive environment for cat food in the US remains fairly consolidated amongst leading manufacturers, with Nestle Purina PetCare Co defending its strong lead with a 45% share, followed by Del Monte Foods Inc (now Big Heart Pet Brands), which enjoyed 12% value share in 2013. Brand loyalty is particularly strong amongst US consumers who gravitate towards brand names, with high awareness for iconic brands like Purina Friskies, Fancy Feast (Nestle Purina PetCare Co), Meow Mix (Del Monte Foods Inc) and Whiskas (Mars Inc). Innovation within these brands, such as new flavours, formulations and healthy product lines, is the key driver of new sales.
