Highlights from our India launch experience

The most important takeaways that we took from our launch of products in India are the deep love pet-parents have for their pets and the professionalism and devotion in the veterinary community. We found that pet parents are still in the process of finding out how to feed a healthy diet, that is natural but also complete and balanced. That is a challenge given the constraints everybody has in these days. We saw how important is for the pet parents to count on the experienced guidance of their veterinary doctors in achieving the best for their pets.

We also found that the pet business is growing exponentially in India as pet parents treat their pets like family. From our observations, the pet culture is strong in India. People hold their pets in high esteem as the humanization and premiumization of products trend continues.

Tails of triumph – The ever-growing Indian pet industry

According to the latest data, the pet food market in India is between 500 – 700 million dollars (This is prepared pet food only. It does not include accessories, health care, etc.). Experts say that the industry is expected to grow at 13% per year, which is double the growth rate of the global market.

As most markets in the world reach maturity and get saturated with products, India offers the opportunity to be present in the pet’s home at an earlier stage, building a trustful relationship with the veterinary community and pet parents, all for supporting the pet’s health. We see India following similar trend of other markets like China in the past decade, or Mexico in the last 3 decades. We could easily envision the Indian pet products market to be more than US$ 10 billion in the next 5-7 years, making it one of the top 10 markets for pets in the world.

Navigating New Horizons: India’s growth trajectory

We see high quality pet food starting to gain more acceptance as pet parents learn about the benefits of a balanced diet for their pets. We also see supplements getting wider usage to complement the pet’s diet and to support specific areas, like gut health, urinary issues, weight control, etc. In addition, as pets are cherished more, services such as health care, grooming, and boarding will also grow dramatically.
