2 Consumer Trends Pet Food in France EXECUTIVE SUMMARY France has the largest pet population in Europe, with 7.5 million dogs, 11.5 million cats, 7 million birds, 2 million rodents and a remarkable 27 million fish. The French are simply animal lovers, with 53% of households having at least one pet. More than half of French households have a dog, cat, fish or rodent. Approximately one fourth of households have a dog and 28% have a cat, though the cat population is higher (11.5 million cats compared to 7.5 million dogs) because people often have several cats. The $3.9-billion (2010) pet food market is a testament to how highly French consumers hold their pets. Dog food accounts for over 50% of that total and cat food accounts for roughly 40%. For the last three years, overall pet food sales have grown at a healthy 3 percent per year.

A large portion of the pet food sector is focusing on high-quality food products and services for pet owners. In fact, most French hotels and restaurants allow dogs and many also provide pets with food and water (some even allow owners to seat their pets at the table!) There are even exclusive dog restaurants. Although food shops make an effort to bar pets, it isn t unusual to see a supermarket trolley containing a dog or two. Paris has a pet cemetery in Asnières-sur-Seine (le Cimetière des Chiens) and there are others in Nice and Toulouse. Source: Shutterstock PAGE 2

Such a trend is also a direct driver for more humanization and innovation within pet products. Pets are considered full members of the family and can benefit from the same treats as their owners. Pet care has seen the emergence of niche products such as cosmetic shampoos, and even feeding bowls to match the kitchen. Organic products, either in pet food or pet products, have nonetheless suffered from a decreasing purchasing power due to high retail prices. Savvy owners want their pets to experience and benefit from unique, natural and flavourful ingredients, so manufacturers are keeping up with this trend. Of the 102 natural pet products introduced last year, not only were 29 products marketed with no chemicals, 18 as high in vitamins and 11 as high in antioxidants, but many of the offerings were hyped as having new, alluring flavours, according to Mintel.

4 PET FOOD TRENDS Humanization The "humanization" of pets is a continuing trend in France and elsewhere, whereby pets (particularly dogs and cats) are increasingly cared for according to human patterns, and human aesthetic standards are applied to pets. Pets are increasingly regarded as family members, and are often considered as equivalent to children in the level of attention and care they gain from pet owners. This has led to a heightened awareness of the special health needs associated with pets at different developmental stages, and an increased tendency to pamper pets with treats and high-end nutritional food. Functional Flavour Pet owners are looking for their pets to thrive and are willing to try new products, whether it s vegetarian, high protein or loaded with antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies, in order to achieve this. The French pet owner is looking for functional formulations that will result in fewer digestive issues, more energy, a shinier coat or any other number of benefits that pet foods claim. New ingredients like fruits and vegetables in pet food are correlating with human health trends. As pets live longer and experience conditions like diabetes, obesity or allergies, a variety of pet food ingredients are being used to target these health needs. New Proteins Allergic and picky eaters are pushing the protein selection in pet food from the typical chicken or beef, to something a bit more exciting. Exotic new proteins are being introduced to appeal to pets taste buds and also to increase their overall well-being. For example, manufacturers now offer dry and dehydrated pet foods with venison, pork, brushtail possum and kangaroo meats, often mixed with fruits such as apples, berries and even figs. If a pet has a food allergy to proteins, putting them on an exclusion diet with a new protein can allow the owner to see how their pet responds. Superfruits and Ancient Grains The healthy ingredient trend has also changed the mixture of grains used in pet foods. Some high-end manufacturers have moved away from using soy, corn, and wheat, which some veterinarians believe are harder to digest and more likely to cause allergies, in favour of using rice and other grains. Functional ingredients like antioxidants, essential fatty acids and even supplements like glucosamine for joint health are being formulated right into the can. Antioxidant fruits and vegetables are being used in pet foods to an increasing degree. Picky Pets The premium food trend isn t just for dogs. For example, one manufacturer offers a line of ferret foods that are grain free and mimic the traditional ferret diet full of taurine, fat, and meat-based protein, but offer unique flavours such as duck, rabbit and venison. There is also a growing number of options for vegetarian owners who don t appreciate giving all-meat foods to their pets. With dog food products, which use ingredients such as barley, brown rice, quinoa, oatmeal and kelp, owners can provide adequate protein from vegetable sources. PAGE 4

5 RETAIL TRENDS France s retail distribution network is diverse and sophisticated. French food retailers generally fall into six types: hypermarkets; supermarkets; hard discounters; convenience; gourmet centres in department stores; and traditional outlets. Grocery retailers such as supermarkets/hypermarkets lead the distribution market in pet food products. Private label is making inroads within the pet food and pet products industry, and its position is strengthened by a wider selection that is mainly driven by product improvement. As a result, private label is gaining brand recognition. Demand for private label is expected to increase, resulting in more brand loyalty from pet owners. Pet shops and other non-grocery retailers are more dynamic, as they offer other pet care products, such as dietary and healthcare. However, the main strength of non-grocery retailers is a better knowledge of the products, gained from training provided by manufacturers. Pet owners are always looking for advice on how to best care for their pets and are thus drawn to these retailers for the additional information available to them. As a result, these channels accounted for approximately 44% of value sales in 2009, giving less room to supermarkets/hypermarkets to lead.

Nonetheless, the economic downturn was not without consequences for sales of premium products. Declining purchasing power resulted in consumers seeking out more affordable products and/or reducing the amount of purchases. As a result, a trend towards buying mid-priced and standard premium pet products, and private label products strengthened their position within the pet food sector. Source: Planet Retail, PAGE 5

6 INDUSTRY COMPETITION The French pet care industry is dominated by multinational companies. Their positions within pet food are undeniable thanks to strong brand recognition and a presence through almost all distribution channels. Premiumization is at the core of the business, but the economic situation has increased further price sensitivity. As a result, private label has started to market its own premium products. Such a trend has made more room for mid-priced and standard premium products.

7 DOG FOOD France - Percentage (%) of Households Owning a Dog Households Households owning a dog Lifestyle changes in urban areas have led to a decrease in dog ownership. Due to a lack of space in the house and also in the car, the dog population decreased in 2010 in terms of numbers, with small dogs being an exception. The lower amount of households owning multiple dogs has also contributed to this decline for the past few years. Medium and large sized dogs require more attention and time, and they need more space for transportation. As a result, larger dogs registered the highest decrease in terms of numbers. Prepared food increased in 2010 and accounted for 54.1% of total dog food sales. This increase is mainly driven by high-end products, as dog owners willingness to get the best for their dogs strengthened. Increasingly health-conscious French consumers are demanding organic, health, and diet foods, including nutraceuticals. The growing number of pets has mirrored and stimulated demand for conventional and organic pet foods. As dogs live longer, dog food has become more nutritionally balanced. Dog owners are also looking for convenience and time saving in terms of meal preparation due to their busy lifestyles. As a result, manufacturers tend to offer more convenient and sophisticated products through a hyper-segmentation based on breed specificity, age specificity, and the health and wellness trend. Increasing environmental concerns amongst consumers in France have been extended to the development of organic products for pets. Pet food manufacturers now offer more functional products that promise longer life or that prevent functional disorders, such as urine problems.

The growing number of urban households favours the trend of owning a cat. Busy lifestyles do not allow cat owners to spend as much time on their care. As a result, prepared food accounts for 62% of cat food sales. French cat owners pay more attention to their cat by purchasing cat treats such as treats with dental care benefits. Although a niche market, organic food and medicinal treats are among the growth drivers in the cat food category. Source: Shutterstock.

Furthermore, children are looking for new companions to look after, increasing the attraction of pet ownership in this category. The lack of space in urban cities and busy lifestyles, the quest for more convenience and time savings, makes animals in this category of pets attractive, because they are easy to look after. As a result, small mammals and reptile food will experience a positive growth in the coming years. The bird population is expected to decline in reaction to strong health-related regulations affecting imported birds. This regulation is designed to control the transmission of diseases such as avian flu, as well as protect against dangerous species and illegal importations through the internet. PAGE 13
