"Magic Mirror Insights: 2024 Overseas Pet Market White Paper" mainly focuses on the development of the overseas pet market from January 2023 to June 2024. Through in-depth analysis of global and key regional markets, it provides comprehensive market insights for relevant practitioners, helping them grasp the trends and opportunities in the overseas pet market.
1. Overview of Overseas Markets
- Global Retail E-commerce Market: The scale has grown year by year, but the CAGR has dropped significantly due to the pandemic. It is expected to exceed $6 trillion in 2024; cross-border B2C e-commerce has strong growth potential and is expected to reach $7.9 trillion by 2030, with a CAGR of 29.2%. Its development benefits from technology, consumer habits, logistics, and policy support, but is also limited by policy differences, cybersecurity, logistics issues, and cultural differences.
- Major E-commerce Markets: China has a large e-commerce market share but its growth rate is slowing. The US market is mature with limited expansion space, while emerging markets such as Indonesia have huge potential. Chinese brands often adopt the "online + offline" model to go overseas, achieving localization through multinational or multi-country local strategies, with Anker Innovations as a successful case.
2. Pet Industry
- Overall Market Situation: From January 2023 to June 2024, the global pet market (North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Asia-Pacific) online sales reached about 242.18 billion yuan. Overseas markets are growing faster than domestic ones, with Amazon as the main overseas platform and Taotian as the main domestic one. North America leads in sales, while Europe and Southeast Asia have significant growth, with Thailand ranking first in the Southeast Asian e-commerce pet market. The penetration rate of pet-owning households is higher overseas than in China, reaching over 60% in North America and about 20% in China.
- US Pet Market: Mature and large in scale, with online sales of 156.73 billion yuan and 920 million units sold from January 2023 to June 2024, showing slow growth. Pets are an important part of the family, and consumption is developing towards diversification and refinement. Cats and dogs are the most popular, and pet food accounts for the largest proportion of pet expenses. There are few opportunities for Chinese companies to go overseas. The smart cat litter box market is growing rapidly, Chinese brands are competitive, and consumers focus on convenience, safety, and battery life.
- Thai Pet Market: Steady growth with broad prospects, with sales of 170 million yuan in the first half of 2024, a year-on-year increase of 52.1%. Pet food and accessories account for 80% of the market share, and sales of cat food exceed that of dog food. Emerging local brands are rising, consumers prefer economical food, and Chinese companies can enhance competitiveness through cost control and marketing strategies. There are differences between Chinese and Thai pet food in terms of taste, product form, and ingredients.
