Future Trends
Trend One: Smart pet care emerges as a trend, focusing on pets' daily lives and psychological needs.
|The smart pet product market is driven by the pet owners' "humanization" mentality towards pet care and the trend of "lazy consumerism." Smart products can alleviate feeding burdens, address issues of pet care when owners are away. Additionally, these products can monitor pet health and ease feelings of loneliness. Technological advancements and IoT technology are driving widespread adoption of smart home solutions, leading to the continued rapid growth of the smart pet product market.
|"Healthy pet care" has become a new trend in pet ownership. When choosing smart pet products, pet owners prioritize features such as health monitoring and reminders, as well as the ability to enhance their pets' quality of life.
Trend Two: Humanization of pet care gives rise to new demands, with pet products focusing more on emotional satisfaction.
l Pet owners project their own lifestyle onto their pets, beyond meeting their basic needs, leading to an upgrade in emotional and consumption demands. Pet owners now pay attention to the aesthetic and entertainment needs in pet care, rather than just practicality and functionality.
l The intimate bond between humans and pets is driving the refinement and diversification of areas such as pet home entertainment, pet travel, and pet grooming, with products placing more emphasis on extending and satisfying emotional value for pet owners.
Trend Three: Breaking boundaries and integrating, traditional enterprises are entering the pet home scene.
l Close human-pet relationship drives the refinement and smartification of pet products, continuously upgrading the pet product industry towards meeting the high-quality living demands of both humans and pets.
l Shared living spaces drive traditional enterprises to enter the pet product industry. Being pet-friendly becomes a consideration in product production and design. With the industry in its early stages and users lacking strong brand awareness, this stimulates traditional enterprises, particularly household appliance firms, to utilize their supply chains and R&D capabilities, delving into user needs and creating smart home appliance ecosystems.
