Dongfang Net reporter Bai Kelin reported on August 24th: The 27th Asia Pet Expo ended today. According to statistics, the Asia Pet Expo attracted over 130000 professional visitors and over 390000 pet enthusiasts, with more than 2600 exhibitors participating. The exhibition scale of 310000 square meters once again broke the record, fully stimulating the diverse vitality and vigorous vitality of the pet industry.

During the Asian Pet Expo, Shanghai continued to experience high temperatures, and the crowds inside and outside the exhibition hall were overwhelming, giving everyone confidence in the strong resilience and development prospects of the pet industry in overcoming economic cycles. This year's exhibition not only showcased innovative achievements in traditional pet food, supplies, medical and other fields, but also saw a strong breakthrough in new trends and forces such as functional food, pet fresh food, intelligent technology, travel, and human pet symbiosis. The exhibition scale and number of exhibitors have both increased, vividly demonstrating the ecological revolution of deep cross-border integration between the pet industry and multiple industries, injecting vitality into the domestic pet economy, and expanding infinite possibilities and imagination space for the future of the pet industry, injecting strong momentum into the new era of human pet symbiosis.

However, the pet industry is still an emerging industry and there are still many areas that need improvement. During the Asian Pet Expo, some visitors reported that some exhibitors did not consider animal welfare properly, such as the widespread tattoos on dogs' backs and the phenomenon of multiple animals sharing a cage, which attracted public attention. Regarding this, the Asia Pet Fair expressed high concern. The organizer stated, "As a super large exhibition with 310000 square meters, 2600 exhibitors, and 520000 visitors, we have encountered some new and old problems in the process of delivering services and experiences to exhibitors and visitors. In recent days, we have heard enthusiastic feedback and suggestions from various sectors of the public, and we have been thinking about how to strengthen management and improve. These eager expectations will be the driving force for us to face up to and improve

It is reported that next year's Asia Pet Expo will focus on optimizing the following two aspects: firstly, to enhance the visiting experience of professional days; Secondly, strengthen the management of exhibitor exhibitions and the protection of animal welfare. In 2026, Asia Pet Expo will launch a series of optimization and improvement measures: creating a "Big Buyer/Big Customer/Professional Buyer Day" on the first day of the exhibition, allowing visitors to enter only by invitation, providing exhibitors and professional visitors with a purer commercial and trade environment and atmosphere. At the same time, stricter standards and measures will be taken to constrain and manage exhibitors' displays that violate pet friendliness. Through various forms of "combination punches" such as collecting live display deposits (illegal collection of deposits will be donated to animal welfare organizations), we will resolutely resist exhibitors from competing with live animal sales, displaying pets under full-term age, displaying multiple pets in one cage, and selling dogs and cats; For exhibitors who violate regulations, their priority seating will be cancelled, their original position will be retained, or even their booth will be cancelled. Resolutely crack down on all behaviors and phenomena that are unfriendly to pets.

The next Asia Pet Expo is scheduled to be held from August 19th to 23rd, 2026 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. The organizers of the Asian Pet Expo stated that they will work together with exhibitors to call for attention to pet welfare, strengthen industry self-discipline and self-restraint. The organizer will strengthen management, take effective measures, and work together to create a healthy platform for the industry, bringing more positive impetus and vibration to the development of the industry.
