At the end of the last century, to be precise, since the 1990s, with the deepening of reform and opening up, the living standards of citizens have gradually improved, and there has been a higher level of pursuit of spiritual life. Related industries have begun to take shape. In addition, foreign pet food companies have targeted this virgin land to be developed, and international brand companies have successively set up factories in China and entered our sights through different channels, which has triggered a new domestic pet food concept. Although those foreign companies have a mentality of grabbing the Chinese yuan, it does objectively cultivate and enlighten the growth and development of pet food in China.
Entering the 21st century, the continuous deepening of the internationalization process has allowed us to get rid of the pet food, pet industry exclusion and unfamiliar backwardness. It grows rapidly at a development rate of up to 30% to 50% each year. According to statistics, when the per capita GDP of a country is 3,000 to 8,000 US dollars, pet food and related industries will develop rapidly. In current China, quite a few cities have reached this level. The pet industry in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities has been quite developed. Take Beijing as an example. In 2001, Beijing ’s per capita GDP reached US $ 3,000 for the first time. In 2008, Beijing ’s per capita GDP exceeded US $ 9,000, and the country ’s per capita GDP reached a record high of US $ 3,381. Driven by strong economic growth, the domestic pet food and related industry markets have seen unprecedented prosperity.
