The market for pet care is set for moderate growth, with projections indicating an increase of USD 5.1 billion and a CAGR nearing 5.9% over the forecast period. China’s pet care market is undergoing a generational transformation, driven by urban affluence and shifting societal norms. As single-person households and young urban couples prioritize companionship over traditional family structures, the ownership of cats and dogs has soared. This shift has led to exponential growth in demand for premium pet food, veterinary care, and grooming products, particularly in Tier 1 and emerging Tier 2 cities such as Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Wuhan. Consumers are increasingly willing to pay for imported brands, functional supplements, and holistic pet wellness solutions that align with personal lifestyle standards.
Technological infrastructure is acting as a major enabler of consumption and distribution. E-commerce giants such as JD.com and Alibaba have aggressively built out dedicated pet care verticals, offering next-day delivery and AI-driven product recommendations. Livestream e-commerce and influencer marketing – especially from veterinarians and pet lifestyle KOLs – are converting awareness into purchase at scale. Beyond logistics, tech integration into health monitoring, wearable devices, and pet food customization is creating a data-rich, loyalty-driven ecosystem that brands are leveraging to drive margins and consumer stickiness.
