Behind the impressive statistics of Interzoo 2026 lies the solid, steady growth of the global pet economy. is expected to continue expanding at a CAGR of 6.8% through 2033. At the same time, cat scratching boards and cat trees are being upgraded from “pet accessories tucked in a corner” to “part of the living space”. Vertical space adaptation, multi-functional integration, home aesthetics and the use of natural materials have become the core directions for new product development.
Sustainability Eco-Friendly Materials Becoming the Standard
This year’s Interzoo introduced a dedicated Sustainability Day and a Sustainability Award for the first time, with topics such as ESG, carbon footprint, alternative proteins and eco-friendly materials running throughout the show. Notably, Chinese enterprises performed prominently, with over 60% of Chinese exhibitors bringing products aligned with sustainable concepts, ranging from biodegradable cat litter and toys made of recycled materials to eco-friendly packaging. For cat trees, scratching boards and pet beds, adopting sustainable wood, bamboo or FSC-certified materials has become a significant competitive advantage for entering the mid-to-high-end European market.
Pet Health as the Strongest Main Trends, with Demand for Functional Products Designs
The biggest trend at Interzoo 2026 was “health”. From functional pet snacks to smart health monitoring devices, nearly every booth conveyed the same message: pet owners are increasingly becoming their pets’ “health managers”. Innovative products showcased at the exhibition included smart cat litter that can detect diseases, pet heart rate and respiration trackers, and new temperature measuring devices, highlighting a clear trend towards refined preventive healthcare. This trend is also extending to the pet supplies sector – consumers are placing higher demands on the material safety of pet beds, the claw-care health function of scratching boards, and the mental stimulation and physical exercise attributes of toys.
AI and Intelligence Integrated into Daily Pet Life
Artificial intelligence was fully implemented at Interzoo 2026, with smart feeders, AI emotion-recognition collars and smart cat doors capable of facial recognition drawing widespread attention. Chinese enterprises hold a significant first-mover advantage in the smart pet product space, and a large number of AI-related products became hot topics among international buyers. The pet toy category is also accelerating its evolution towards intelligent interaction and scientifically designed enrichment.
Chinese Supply Chain Driving Global Innovation, Highlighting the Advantages of One-Stop Sourcing
The Chinese pavilion continued its strong presence at this year’s Interzoo. Exhibitors from the Chinese mainland reached 569, ranking first among all participating countries, with international exhibitors accounting for 87% of the total. Chinese exhibitors not only led in quantity but also achieved a qualitative breakthrough in innovation – approximately 30% of the hit product prototypes at Interzoo 2026 debuted at Chinese booths. The source of global pet technology innovation is shifting eastward. Meanwhile, China’s pet product export value continues to grow steadily, and the proportion of companies reaching overseas buyers directly through independent websites and B2B channels is continuously increasing.
