The Argentine non-life segment registered growth during the review period (2009-2013), despite several setbacks such as high inflation, which affected commercial lending activities and led to a slowdown in economic growth in 2012.

Indeed, the bulk of sales in pet products are driven by rather regular and foreseeable trends, including the on-going rise in the cat population, which fuels sales of cat litter, or the results of the declining dog, bird and fish populations on volume sales of other pet products. One of the only elements of unpredictability is the impact of the weather on sales of pet healthcare, and particularly flea/ticks. Flea/tick treatments enjoyed a promising start to 2014.
