From automation to intelligence, pet products are redefining how people interact with their pets. When you wake up in the morning, an automatic pet feeder has already prepared breakfast based on your pet's health data. When you leave for work, a smart camera allows you to interact with your pet at home at any time. And when night falls, a smart litter box automatically analyzes and reports on your pet's health. This is no longer a scene from a science fiction movie; it's a reflection of everyday smart pet ownership in 2025.
The trillion-dollar market ushered in technological upgrades
According to the recently released "China Pet Industry 2025 White Paper," China's pet consumption market has surpassed 300 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate exceeding 18%. The smart pet products market has seen particularly significant growth, becoming one of the industry's most promising segments.
"Smart pet products are evolving from a 'nice to have' to a 'must have' for pet owners," said a pet brand representative. "Consumers are no longer satisfied with basic functions but are pursuing a smarter, more connected pet-raising experience."
Three major trends in smart products
1. Whole-house smart interconnected ecosystem
In 2025, the era of smart pet products has passed, with the Internet of Things (IoT) enabling data connectivity between smart feeders, water dispensers, litter boxes, cameras, and toys, creating a complete smart pet ecosystem.
A brand's latest smart home system can learn pet behavior patterns through AI, automatically adjust feeding time and amount, monitor water intake and toilet frequency, and send timely alerts to owners when abnormalities are detected.
2. Health monitoring features become standard
Modern smart pet products have gone beyond simple automation, with health monitoring becoming a core selling point. Smart litter boxes can analyze pets' excrement to determine their health; smart feeders have built-in weighing systems to precisely control meal sizes; and smart water dispensers record pets' water intake in real time.
The data collected by these devices is analyzed through algorithms to generate health reports, provide pet owners with scientific maintenance advice, and even recommend nearby pet hospitals when problems are found.
3. Personalized customization service upgrade
Powered by big data and artificial intelligence, smart pet products can provide personalized services for each pet. Smart feeders can customize feeding plans based on pet breed, age, weight, and activity level; smart toys can adjust interaction modes based on pet preferences.
An interactive robot launched by a high-end smart toy brand uses computer vision to identify the emotional state of pets and automatically select the most suitable game method, solving the loneliness problem of pets left alone at home.
Innovation and breakthroughs of domestic brands
Chinese smart pet product brands are demonstrating strong competitiveness in the global market. Leveraging their advantages in smart manufacturing and IoT technology, domestic brands are expected to achieve a leapfrog growth in market share, increasing from 35% in 2020 to 65% in 2025.
A smart cat litter box launched in China, featuring a space capsule design and multiple safety mechanisms, sold 100,000 units within three months of its launch, becoming a global bestseller. "Made in China is transitioning to 'Smart Manufacturing in China,' and our products have already reached internationally leading levels of innovation and practicality."
Challenges and opportunities coexist
Despite its promising market prospects, the smart pet products industry still faces numerous challenges. Data security and privacy protection are top concerns for consumers. The lack of industry standards has led to inconsistent product quality, and the high price tag associated with high technology content has also limited its adoption.
Experts recommend that consumers pay attention to the product's data encryption measures when purchasing smart pet products, choose reputable brands, and regularly update device software to ensure security.
Future Outlook
With the further development of 5G, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT), smart pet products will become even more intelligent and personalized. It is estimated that by 2028, more than 60% of urban pet-owning households will use at least one smart pet product.
"The ultimate goal of technology is to provide a better life for both people and pets," industry experts say. "In the future, smart pet products will be more seamlessly integrated into daily life, becoming an emotional bond between pets and owners."
The era of smart pet care has arrived, and technology is making pet care more scientific, convenient, and fun. In this process, the relationship between pets and humans is being redefined, revealing more possibilities.
