Westland scoop Gardman Wild Bird Care to gain 90% market share
Week on week UP 0.5% Year to Date vs 2017 DOWN 20.5%

Westlands purchase of Gardman last week means they now hold 90% of Wild Bird Care sales as measured by the GTN Bestsellers Wild Bird Care Top 50.  Two years ago, for the same week, Gardman themselves held 90% of Top 50 sales volumes.  This time last year, Gardmans share had dropped to 80% with Westland holding 4%.  Now, after recovering from the fire and the ensuing stock distrubution and availability issues Gardman Wild Bird Care lines account for 81% of the GTN Top 50 and Westland Peckish is up to 9%, giving a total market share for Westland of 90%.

  • Mealworm sales jumped last week.  Gardman Mealworm Pouches 800g were the highest re-entry at No 10, just one place below the 1.25kg + 25% Free Mealworm packs.
  • Westland Peckish Complete 2kg + 50% Free was the only new entry of the week, in at No 42.
  • Gardman’s Poppy Feeder With Stem moved up one place to No 2.  Will the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day drive sales up to No 1 as they were in 2016?
