With the global pet population exceeding one billion (according to HealthforAnimals), pet health has become a core theme in the growth of the pet economy. Pets are no longer just companions, but family members. According to a Mars Petcare survey, 94% of pet owners consider their pets part of the family. Health, nutrition, and psychological well-being are becoming key concerns in the global pet products industry.
The three keys to pet health: nutrition, exercise and care
1.Nutritionally balanced
The global pet food market continues to grow. Data shows that approximately 56% of pet owners in the United States prefer natural, organic, or functional pet food. For export companies, developing high-protein, low-additive foods or snacks that cater to health trends is becoming a competitive advantage.
2.Exercise and Mental Health
Pet obesity is a growing problem, with nearly 40% of cats and dogs in Europe and the United States being overweight. Products like smart toys and interactive trainers are becoming a new trend in pet health management, driving export demand.
3.Prevention and Care
As pets live longer, demand for basic healthcare products like dental care, flea control, and cleaning supplies is steadily increasing. The European market places particular emphasis on standards such as "eco-friendly materials" and "no chemical additives."
International Market Insights: New Opportunities for Exporting Companies
The global pet products market is projected to exceed $500 billion by 2028 (Statista forecast). Against this backdrop, Chinese-made pet products are continuously expanding into markets in Europe, the United States, and Southeast Asia, leveraging their quality and price advantages.
Export companies should pay attention to the following trends:
Different regulations and standards: Europe and the United States have strict requirements for product safety and packaging; the Asian market prioritizes value for money.
Different consumer philosophies: Western consumers prioritize animal welfare and sustainability, while young people in China and abroad prefer "health + aesthetics + intelligence."
Green and environmentally friendly trends: Biodegradable cat litter and bio-based plastic products are hot spots for export growth.
