Pet Economy Segmentation Track Research – Pet Supplies

Right now, the United States is the biggest pet supplies market, and China's pet supplies market is growing really fast.


In 2022, the US pet supplies market was worth up to $23.004 billion, making it the largest in the world, accounting for 48.33% of the global market share. The US pet market has been around for a while now, and the growth in the size of the pet supplies market has slowed down a bit. Over the past 22 years, the growth rate was 6.77%, 9.60%, 8.20% and 7.41%, with a compound growth rate of 8.40%. China's pet supplies market is the second largest in the world, with a market size of 5.345 billion U.S. dollars over the past 22 years. This accounts for 11.21% of the global market share. China's pet supplies market continues to grow at a high rate, with a growth rate that is faster than the global market.


According to Euromonitor, the growth rate of pet supplies in China from 19-22 years was 11.21%, 13.34%, 22.92% and 8.40% respectively. The compound growth rate from 19-22 years was as high as 14.73%, which is much faster than the overall global growth rate.


I. Market Trends


Overall, China's pet supplies market has seen some pretty impressive growth, much faster than the global market. The main drivers behind this include the rise in urbanisation, the growth of disposable income, changing attitudes to pet ownership and the increase in the number of pets.


China's pet supplies market has been growing at a double-digit compound rate in recent years, which shows there's a lot of potential for growth in China's market. It's made up of several segments, including pet toys, pet apparel, pet grooming and care supplies, and pet medical supplies.


Secondly, let's look at the market pattern. 

Right now, the pet supplies market has a pretty low level of brand concentration. Most of the brands you see are foreign, but there are also some domestic brands. The foreign brands are mostly Mars, Nestle, Royal, and so on. The domestic brands are mainly Petty, McFady, Yi Yi, Good Treasure, and so on. In recent years, the domestic brands have been developing faster than the foreign ones, but they still have a lower market share than the older foreign brands.


The way products are sold. Right now, pet supplies are mostly sold online and offline. Online, they're sold on major e-commerce platforms. Offline, they're sold at pet hospitals. The offline channel accounts for about 60% of sales, but the online channel is growing faster and taking up a bigger piece of the pie.


Let's take a look at how the pet supplies market is segmented.
