China Pet Market Mission - CBBC Programme at Pet Fair Asia 2026
China is now one of the world’s largest pet markets, with over 120 million urban pets and a market valued at £30+ billion, growing steadily each year. Rising pet ownership, premiumisation, and demand for high-quality imports are driving rapid expansion - while recent regulatory changes have opened China’s pet food market to UK exporters for the first time.
This creates a rare, time-sensitive opportunity for British brands to enter early and build long-term market share in a high-growth sector.
The CBBC Programme at Pet Fair Asia 2026 is a focused three-day market entry experience designed to turn this opportunity into real business. Combining expert insights in London with on-the-ground engagement in Shanghai, the programme helps UK pet brands understand the market, meet pre-qualified buyers, and explore one of Asia’s leading industry events.
Participants will:
- Gain practical insights into China’s pet market and consumer trends
- Meet vetted Chinese buyers through curated 1:1 meetings
- Attend Pet Fair Asia with in-market expert support
- Receive guidance to convert connections into commercial outcomes
Ideal for UK companies in pet food, accessories, health, and wellness, this programme offers a clear, supported pathway into China.
