The development prospects of the pet industry are as follows:
1. China's pet industry is growing at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 20%, accounting for less than 10% of the global market
With the growing development and prosperity of Chinese society, the role of pets is gradually transforming. Social media has also made pets an important part of young people's lives, and trends such as "cloud cat ownership" have made owning a pet even more desirable.

2. China's pet ownership rate and single-pet consumption amount have a large gap with developed countries, and there is huge room for improvement

China's pet ownership rate is far below the level of developed countries, and there may be room for several-fold improvement in the future.
Since 2016, China's single pet consumption amount growth rate increased year by year, the main driving force for the rise of per capita disposable income, and pet loved ones to enhance the attributes; 2020 China's single pet annual consumption amount of $ 59. Compared with other countries, in 2020, Japan, the United States single pet consumption amount of 317, 343 U.S. dollars, China's single pet consumption amount is still lower than the level of developed countries.
