pet products

Chinese pet products market is deemed to offer great potential thanks to the strong economic growth over the past decade. Sales of various pets are increasingly brisk across different regions in China. Pets are more and more popular in urban households. Over the 2000-2005 period, pet ownership has increased significantly and so has the variety of pets. Apparently, the rising popularity of dogs has triggered off the pet products market boom in recent years. Dogs have become more common urban pets, hence leading to the greater demand for dog food and dog care products. The mushrooming of specialist pet shops, superstores, pet clinics is virtually an indicator of the rocketing speed of pet dog-related consumption. Likewise, the growing population of other pets also gave great opportunity for their respective market. Although thepet products market is deemed in an introductory phase, competition has become rather fierce and orderless because of a heavy presence of small operators. However, there are no laws or regulations of any kind to regulate the marketer’s behaviours or oversee product quality. After all, for a developing country it is quite impossible for the authorities to attach importance to the pet food and pet care market’s development, while so many other issues need to be addressed.
