Lack of knowledge about pet care and welfare is one problem that could hinder the growth of China's pet care sector. Many Chinese people are still unfamiliar with the idea of pet ownership and may not realize how crucial it is to provide their animals with the care and attention they need. This may result in animal abuse, abandonment, or neglect, which could harm the reputation and development of the sector. The lack of high-quality goods and services is another issue facing the Chinese pet care business. Although China offers a large range of pet-related goods and services, not all of them will be up to the requirements of pet owners who are prepared to spend money on their animals. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 had both positive and negative impacts on the market growth. Due to the lockdown and social distancing norms, production units were at a halt, and also supply chain was heavily disrupted. On the other hand, the pet care industry was already witnessing strong growth in the pre-pandemic. However, the lockdown restrictions imposed during the pandemic led to increased concerns among pet owners regarding their pets’ health, resulting in panic buying of pet food and other essential accessories and pet products. This spiked the demand for pet care products. Considered in this report • Geography: China • Historic year: 2017 • Base year: 2022 • Estimated year: 2023 • Forecast year: 2028
