Pet food professionals from China and throughout the world learned how to develop products for the US$1.37 billion Chinese pet food market at Petfood Forum China 2015, held August 28 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center. The exclusive conference featured industry experts sharing information and insights on the Chinese pet food market, the pet food product development process, the importance of supplier partnerships and ways to take a new product to retail.
Petfood Forum China 2015 was held in conjunction with Pet Fair Asia 2015. Pushan Tagore, director of pet care global for market research firm GfK, started the conference with an overview of the fast-growing Chinese pet food market. His data showed that pet food sales have increased 12.3% this year and are projected to rise 13.5% in 2016. Online sales have accounted for 38% of pet food sales in China in 2015, with that share expected to rise to 43% in 2016.
In addition, Tagore reported that China now is the third largest dog-owning market globally, with 27.4 million dogs (behind the US with 55.3 million dogs and Brazil with 35.7 million), and the second largest cat-owning country with 58.1 million cats, behind only the US with 80.6 million.
Tagore was followed by Russ Kelley of Kelley Canine Consulting presenting the essential steps to the pre-commercial pet food product development process. Eric Altom, PhD, consultant, then described key stages and requirements for commercialization. Serge Boutet, owner of SB Nutrinnov Consultants, described the criteria for selecting ingredient suppliers and contract manufacturers who could be true partners in developing novel pet food products. John Stanley, president of John Stanley Associates, finished the day’s program with an explanation of why 75% of new products fail at retail and how to work with retailers to ensure your new pet food product is a success.
Petfood Forum China will return to Shanghai in 2016, again during Pet Fair Asia, August 18-21.

Petfood Forum China brings knowledge, networking to Chinese petfood industry
More than 100 petfood professionals from China and other countries networked and learned from industry experts during Petfood Forum China 2013, held August 23 in Shanghai. It was the second edition of this exclusive conference for the Chinese petfood industry, held in conjunction with Pet Fair Asia.
Speakers such as Clarissa Nicklaus, senior research analyst with Euromonitor International, addressed the rapidly growing Chinese pet market, which comprises 290 million pets and is projected to reach over US$1 billion in sales in 2013, Nicklaus said. She reported that many of the pets owned in China fall into the "other" category (species other than cats and dogs); only 7% of Chinese households own dogs and only 2% own cats. In addition, less than 10% of those cats and dogs eat prepared petfood, so the potential for Chinese petfood sales to continue to grow is significant. Dog food sales have grown more than 10% a year since 2008, Nicklaus said, while cat food sales have increased more than 8% annually.
Other Petfood Forum China speakers presented research on pet nutrition, palatability and ingredients, along with ways to determine how pet owners make purchasing decisions, save energy and money on petfood drying and establish a microbiological control system in a petfood plant.
During the conference, attendees, who came from petfood manufacturers in Thailand, Korea and other countries in addition to China, were able to network with one another as well as sponsors including Extru-Tech Inc., K-Tron, Mac Process, Thiele Technologies and Wenger.
The third annual Petfood Forum China is scheduled for August 22, 2014, again at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai during Pet Fair Asia.
