Competitive Landscape
Leading Companies Face Share Erosion Amid Rising Fragmentation From Specialists
The pet products landscape in China remains highly fragmented, with no single company holding a significant share, as evidenced by the leading player Sunsun Group commanding only a 2% retail value share in 2025, a decline from 3% in 2021. Meanwhile, second-placed Shanghai Petkit Network Technology Co Ltd and third-placed Merial Animal Health (China) Co Ltd also each held a 2% share in 2025, and also saw slight decline from 2021, underscoring the competitive and dispersed nature of the category.
Emerging Brands Can Leverage Innovation and E-Commerce to Reshape Consumer Preferences
The evolution of product innovation and channel strategies presents significant opportunities for businesses to differentiate and expand. Companies that invest in upgrading staple products with functional benefits, such as hygiene and health features, can tap into consumer willingness to pay for premiumisation.
