Pet Industry and Business Trends
Pet Humanization Drives Veterinary Supplements Market The global veterinary dietary supplements market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% through 2035. This growth is primarily fueled by the "pet humanization" trend—where pets are treated as family members rather than just animals—along with an increasing demand for preventative animal healthcare.
Retailers Expand Dog-Friendly Travel and Adoption Support Services Retail companies in Korea are expanding dedicated services targeted at consumers who travel and dine out with their pets. Moving beyond simply offering treats, companies are stepping up experiential programs tied to corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, such as stray dog adoption support and pet food donations, to boost customer loyalty.
Flooring Industry Highlights Anti-Slip Features for Dogs Interior material companies like KCC Glass and LX Hausys are emphasizing "dog-friendly designs" as a key functional aspect of their flooring products. Through products that offer not only stylish designs but also cushioning and anti-slip properties to ensure a safe living environment for dogs, these companies are rolling out consumer experiential marketing.
