Meeting the needs of pets and their owners
The trend was observed at the five-day Shanghai Asia Pet Expo, which closed on Sunday (August 25).
The exhibition focuses on furry children and their needs. Organizers claim that this is the largest exhibition of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region.
“A lot of indicators are pointing to the pet industry itself growing at 8% to 15%,” said Edwin Tan, chief executive of event management company Globus Events, which organises Pet Expo Asia.
“We have seen a 10 to 12 percent increase in the size of the show this year, and more importantly, if you look around, you’ll see that many exhibitors have increased their investment in the show. They’ve also launched… a lot of new products.”
Exhibitors occupied all 17 permanent exhibition halls of the Shanghai New International Expo Center, and even occupied 7 semi-permanent exhibition halls. The organizers also provided small cars to take visitors from one exhibition hall to another.
“I’m here to source pet products for clients in Southeast Asia, mainly cat litter and organic cat food,” said Paul Liu, sales director of pet products company Floofs & Fluff.
“Because there are so many factories in China, they are able to source high-quality raw materials at a relatively cheap cost,” he added.
