Q : Why are pet health supplements so profitable?
From the perspective of the industrial chain, pet health supplements, except for special needs such as grooming, are similar to human health supplements in terms of raw materials, with only differences in component content. For example, the raw materials for nutritional paste generally consist of maltose, oil, yeast powder, etc., with low upstream raw material prices and low production costs. Midstream health supplement manufacturers design their packaging to enhance product differentiation, attract pet owners, and charge high added value.
In terms of consumers, with the continuous popularization of the concept of pet health products and the expansion of market size, the market share of health product consumption has steadily increased. Most people who purchase pet health products are young pet owners who worry about the aesthetics, health, and lifespan of their pets. They have a higher shopping frequency and lower price sensitivity. Their requirements for quality are even higher than those of human health products. They are willing to choose products with higher prices for better health care effects. At the same time, the main reference groups for purchasing health products are pet bloggers on social media, veterinarians at pet hospitals, brand online live streaming rooms, etc., with a high consumption conversion rate.
Q : What is the current price of pet health products? Are there significant price differences among similar health products on the market? How does the price compare between domestic and foreign products?
Taking fish oil as an example, the common types of fish oil available on the market are capsule and liquid forms. 50g Calculated for standard sales units, the price of capsule-type fish oil is from 10 - 300 The price gap is quite significant, with foreign products generally priced higher than domestic ones. For products targeting the mid- to low-end market, foreign prices are higher than domestic ones. In the mid- to high-end market, the prices of domestic brands gradually converge with foreign products, but in the high-end market (prices greater than 180 yuan /50g ), foreign brands still dominate. However, in terms of fixed sales units, domestic high-end brands such as Vissi and Tail Life have a certain number of sales units 36g/ Bottles, packaged and sold in small grams, have an overall low price point. However, the actual price per gram exceeds that of most high-end market fish oil products, such as Vetwish , mag wait.
Q : How are the types of domestic pet health products compared to those abroad?
In terms of types, both domestic and international health products cover common health care needs such as joint calcium supplementation, gastrointestinal regulation, hair care and skin care, vitamin and trace element supplementation, and immune enhancement. There are a large number of products available on the market targeting these functions. Common ingredients include omega-3 coenzyme Q10 Lecithin, taurine, etc. However, companies in different markets have different product focuses. The leading domestic pet health product company 'Xiaocong' focuses on probiotics as its main promotional point and research product, while 'Gudeng' specializes in goat milk powder. Foreign American brands Vet hospital ’ s Best The green cross catnip tablets, jarrow Lactoferrin often becomes the top choice among Chinese consumers for category purchases.
Overseas brands are entering the niche market of pet health products focusing on emotional stability, such as American brands. Zesty Paws We have launched the high-end pet nutritional product, Cat Calm, to help maintain emotional balance, promote calmness, and reduce stress.
Q : What are the main trends in the domestic pet health product market over the past two years? Are there any new development trends?
The demand for 'humanization' has driven continuous product segmentation, enriching the product matrix. Products are launched based on different body shapes, breeds, growth cycles, activity levels, and physical functions of pets. For example, separate product tracks are created for special stages such as puppy development, delivery, and old age, as well as for promoting pet appetite and increasing water intake through daily health supplements. Expanding the scope of pet healthcare includes pet fitness and weight loss, daily nourishment, disease prevention, and more. In addition to pet health needs, pet owners' interaction with their pets has led to the development of products such as toothpaste, breath fresheners, and nutritional supplements to enhance pet aesthetics.
Consumption rationalization has occurred. With the economic downturn, the exposure of similar ingredients in human and pet health supplements on social media, and concerns about the physical burden on pets from health supplements, consumers are choosing health supplements with higher cost-effectiveness and reducing their consumption frequency.
The demand for the safety of health products continues to rise, with natural ingredients and stimulants / With fewer additives, consumers also do not want to lose taste. Plant extracts with mild effects and clean ingredients with special health benefits have become new keywords. The impact of Japan's nuclear sewage discharge on the sea area and seafood has also increased consumers' concerns about health products made from seafood.
Q : What development issues are currently facing the domestic industry in this sector?
Industry supervision issues of products. Internationally, the regulatory authorities for pet health products generally include FDA ( Food and Drug Administration ), NAS ( National Animal Supplement Council ) and so on, but currently in China, pet health products are still classified under feed processing, lacking clear industry production and management standards. They are in a gray area of supervision, with enterprises lacking standardized management at the supply chain and quality control levels, leading to low consumer confidence.
The industry concentration is low, lacking industry leaders. Currently, pet health products are still mainly imported from foreign brands. Domestic brands have low market recognition, fragmented market share, and fierce competition. Most companies devote more energy to marketing, lacking product innovation capabilities and resulting in homogeneous products.

Mr. Peter Fung, Chairman of the Global Board of Directors at Frost & Sullivan David Frigstad ) Deliver a speech at the conference via video.
Chairman of the Global Board at Frost & Sullivan Mr. Fuda Wei ( David Frigstad)
The following is Mr. Fuda Wei ( David Frigstad Key points of the speech:
Welcome everyone. I am very proud to welcome you to this year's 18th Growth Innovation and Leadership Summit Shanghai China.
Hello everyone! I am honored to welcome you to the 18th Frost & Sullivan Growth, Innovation and Leadership Summit (referred to as GIL Summit).
I'm sorry I'm not there with you, but I'm with you in spirit.
It's a pity I couldn't be there in person, but I'm connected with everyone through our hearts.
And I'm so grateful that we're all here together at this record-breaking GIL event.
I'm extremely grateful that we were able to achieve this record-breaking GIL We gather together at the grand event.
What excites me about this year's GIL event is what's happening in the global economy, which we call the Intelligence Revolution.
this year GIL What is exciting about the summit is that the global economy is undergoing a transformation, which we call the intelligent revolution.
The first phase of history was truly shaped by the Industrial Revolution, which took about 150 years and had a profound impact on productivity, ranging from one to a thousandfold.
The first half of history is about 150 The Industrial Revolution of the year shaped it, having a thousandfold impact on productivity.
What we're going through right now is the Intelligence Revolution, which will probably occur in ten years, and we may see another tenfold increase in productivity over that period. This means there are unprecedented opportunities bubbling up all over the world.
The intelligent revolution that we are currently experiencing is expected to be completed within a decade. During these ten years, our productivity may increase by hundreds or thousands of times. This means that unprecedented opportunities have emerged around the world.
At the same time, incumbent competitors or players in the global economy face significant risks of being harmed by this transformation.
At the same time, existing competitors or participants in the global economy are facing significant risks of being impacted by this transformation.
This is what the Growth Innovation and Leadership Summit is all about - coming together to understand the transformation, what growth opportunities will stem from it, and what best practices we need to embody to outperform our toughest competitors.
This is precisely the significance of the Growth, Innovation and Leadership Summit: people come together to understand this transformation, discover the growth opportunities that arise from it, and discuss the best practices we need to adopt to defeat the strongest competitors.
So it's very interesting at the moment because I feel that Chinese companies like yours have unprecedented opportunities to leverage their manufacturing skills and best practices, as well as the technology integration that's been so successful here in China.
I believe that the Chinese enterprise representatives here all have unprecedented opportunities, leveraging your skills and best practices in manufacturing, as well as the successful technology integration that has been achieved in China.
These can now be scaled globally, creating fantastic opportunities, especially as the world undergoes this transformation, driven by advanced manufacturing, robotics, AI... all of these things that you are integrating now to make you a much stronger and faster competitor.
These can now be rolled out globally, creating excellent opportunities, especially as the world undergoes a transformation driven by advanced manufacturing, robotics, and artificial intelligence. All these technologies that you are integrating now will make you a stronger and faster competitor.
To do this, you really need to understand not only what's transforming the industry you're participating in but also creating the ecosystem of the entire value chain.
To achieve this goal, you not only need to understand the factors changing the industries you are involved in but also need to build an ecosystem across the entire value chain.
And this is not just the supply chain, but also the customer value chain, the marketing value chain, the technology value chain, and who are the right partners that you want to invest in to partner with to develop these opportunities.
This is not just a supply chain issue; it also includes the customer value chain, marketing value chain, technology value chain, as well as suitable partners with whom you wish to invest and collaborate to develop these opportunities.
So having a much more global mindset about how we're going to exploit these opportunities around the world.
Therefore, you need to have a more global mindset to consider how to leverage these opportunities on a global scale.
This is really a great time for Chinese companies to explore these global opportunities.
For Chinese enterprises, this is indeed an excellent time to explore these global opportunities.
On behalf of the entire Frost & Sullivan Global Team, I would like to first express my gratitude to everyone in the audience for your loyalty and dedication, taking valuable time out of your lives to help make this GIL event so powerful and popular, and bringing such great value to all of us.

Global Partner and Executive Director of the Board at Frost & Sullivan Mr. Zou Yaru Aroop Zutshi)
The following is Mr. Zu Yaru ( Aroop Zutshi) Key points of the speech:
Ni Hao, a very nice morning to all of you. Thank you so much for coming. On behalf of the Board of Directors of Frost & Sullivan, my fellow partners, some of whom are in this esteemed audience,
Neil Wang, who oversees all of our Greater China operations and is also involved in helping us with global board-level discussions on direction and strategy. I am also with me
Mr. Shivaji Das, who manages our Asia Pacific operations: Australia, New Zealand and some parts of South Asia. I have with me Mr. Robin Joffe who manages our Middle East, Africa, and our European businesses. Of course, I'm based in California, so I can also say that I represent the US and Latin American markets. We have a solid team of people, including my team here in China, who can help you navigate through what I consider to be the most transitive and transformative elements in our business world today.
Hello everyone! Good morning! On behalf of the board of directors and partners at Frost & Sullivan, I would like to thank you all for coming. Please allow me to introduce our Frost & Sullivan partner present today: Dr. Wang Xin, who serves as a global partner at Frost & Sullivan and Chairman of the Greater China region, leading the global development direction and strategy of Frost & Sullivan; Shivaji Das Mr. Frost & Sullivan Partner and Managing Director for Asia-Pacific; Robin Joffe Mr. Frost & Sullivan partner and President of the Middle East, South Asia, and North Africa region. As I am based in California, I can I would like to say that I represent the US and Latin American markets. In summary, we have a strong team here to help you navigate the ever-changing global business environment.
So, you've heard from David who talked about transformation. It's now becoming very important that every company in the world needs to understand what this transformation means. My focus today is to help you all understand how to navigate this transformation, how to survive and thrive in this transformative world that we are living in today. Before we started this meeting, I met with some of the senior leaders from China, and everyone talked about how things are changing, and how businesses are being impacted. And as I travel around this world, I see this happening in every geography, no matter what sector you're in - healthcare, ICT, energy, environment, mobility - every industry is going through some type of transformation.
As Chairman Fu Dawei just mentioned, transformation is very important, and businesses around the world need to understand what this transformation means. The focus of my speech today is to help everyone understand how to navigate this transformation and how to seek survival and development in today's world of constant change. Before the start of this meeting, I met with some local Chinese business executives, each of whom was talking about changes and their impact on the market. I have traveled around the world and found that every industry and region in the world is experiencing change, whether it is healthcare, information and communication technology, energy, environment, or mobile fields.
And what will happen is, if companies, regardless of their size, do not understand that transformation, the ability to grow, survive, and thrive will not be easy. And you know, in today's day and age, if CEOs of companies do not make their companies grow, they find it difficult to survive, and the most recent casualty of that lack of growth was what we saw with the Starbucks CEO just about a week ago; he was let go, he was removed from his position as the CEO of one of the largest, most effective companies and brands in the world. So it can happen to anyone. So that's where you have to understand what this whole process is all about. And I view growth as a journey.
Regardless of the size of the enterprise, if it cannot cope with transformation, then it will find it difficult to achieve growth, survival, and development. As is well known, if a company's CEO cannot enable the company to grow, they It's difficult to survive. About a week ago, the CEO of one of the world's largest and most influential brands, Starbucks, was fired due to declining sales. Similar scenarios may occur to every executive, so we need to understand the entire process of growth realization. I believe there are steps in achieving growth.
So today, I'm going to share with you some ideas about how and what you can do to survive this transformation. The first thing you have to understand is transformation itself: what are the strategic imperatives that are likely to impact your specific industry, your specific region of the world, or even a technology that is likely to impact you. You have to understand the scale of the transformation, you have to understand the duration of the transformation, and you also have to understand the impact of the transformation.
So today, I will share with you some methods on how to cope with change. First and foremost, it is important to understand the change itself: which strategic decisions and technologies will affect your industry and region. It is also essential to grasp the scale of the change, its duration, and the impact it brings.
Therefore, if you understand what these strategic imperatives are, which range from what I like to call transformative megatrends, they look at all disruptive technologies, they consider changes in customer profiles and purchasing behaviors. We have seen this even in the Starbucks situation. Nowadays, young people do not want to buy coffee the way their parents did; middle-aged people used to buy it this way. Similarly, Generation Z and Generation Y people no longer want to buy assets but prefer to operate in an assured economy. This is why organizations like DiDi, or for that matter Uber/Ola, and many other companies providing shared services are doing extremely well worldwide.
If you understand what these strategic highlights are: covering the big trends of change, disruptive technologies, shifts in customer demographics, and changes in purchasing patterns. Take Starbucks as an example; we see that today's young people do not buy coffee like the middle-aged did in the past. In addition, Z Generations and Y Generations of people prefer to operate in a secure economy over purchasing assets. This is why companies like Didi Chuxing Uber , Ola The company, along with many other shared service providers, has performed extremely well globally.
So, these are trends that you have to understand before you figure out what you are going to do when you enter global markets. So, the first thing you have to figure out is what those strategic imperatives are, as well as economic imperatives. For example, in some regions of the world, you are seeing economic growth. We believe that regions like Africa, for instance, and I know we have two guests who have flown in from Congo, there is incredible opportunity for growth. Similarly, there are growth opportunities in emerging markets such as South Asia, including countries in Latin America, where we are seeing some massive growth. Of course, the big Western economies of the US and Europe will always remain strong, they are the drivers. The economic drivers mean that the US will not disappear, nor will the European region, but growth rates may slow down over time. However, in emerging markets where populations are extremely high and their ability to afford products and services is on the rise, you will see massive economic activity.
Before you decide to enter the global market, you must first understand these trends. This is what I mean by strategic points and regional economic considerations that you need to clarify first. For example, in some regions of the world, we see economic growth. Today, we have two guests flying from the Congo. Taking Africa as an example, we believe there are incredible growth opportunities there. In addition, emerging markets such as South Asia and Latin America also present tremendous growth opportunities. Of course, Western economies such as the United States and Europe remain strong, serving as economic drivers. Therefore, the US market will not disappear, nor will the European market, but growth rates may slow down over time. However, in emerging markets, with a large population and continuously increasing purchasing power, there is massive economic activity.
The second part of this framework that you need to understand is what I call the ecosystem. You must comprehend who are the participants in this ecosystem. In addition to direct competitors, which most companies consider and focus on, you also need to understand who else participates in that ecosystem, what impact they have, how they shape your strategy, what kind of products and services you can develop by leveraging the ecosystem, what R&D labs you can collaborate with, and what investment communities you can engage with. These are very important factors that you must consider when trying to understand the ecosystem. How ecosystems within one sector may apply to ecosystems in another sector.
Understanding becomes very important, and that's when growth happens Not by accident but by a plan and by a journey.
The second part that needs to be understood is what I call the ecosystem. It involves understanding who the participants in the entire ecosystem are, not only the direct competitors that most companies focus on, but also other participants. What roles they play in the system, how they influence it, and how they affect your strategy. What products and services you can develop within the ecosystem, with which R&D laboratories you can collaborate, and with which investment teams you can partner with are all very important factors that you must consider. When trying to understand the ecosystem, it is crucial to consider how the ecosystem of one industry applies to that of another. This understanding is very important because only in this way can growth not be accidental but planned and step-by-step.
The next thing is, of course, to look at the growth generator. In other words, you look at data. Decisions have to be made based on data, not on gut feeling. Many, many businesses worldwide, including companies in the Middle East and in the United States, in Europe make decisions based on gut feeling. I wish that gut feeling were the way to make decisions, but in today's day and age, with so much data available and so much technology around AI, you can actually make very informed decisions. Therefore, understanding how to leverage AI to generate and evaluate the decision-making process will be very important. Collecting the right data, timely data, insightful data, and AI-ready data are very important in the growth generator phase. So, if you can do that successfully, you are in very good shape, because every decision you will make will be in the right direction.
The next step is to focus on the growth engine, in other words, on data. Decision-making cannot rely solely on intuition but on data. Many businesses around the world, including those in the Middle East, America, and Europe, make decisions based on intuition. I hope that intuition can also lead to correct decisions, but in today's era, very wise decisions can be made through a large amount of data and advanced artificial intelligence technology. Therefore, it is now very important to understand how to use artificial intelligence to generate and evaluate decision-making processes. In the process of achieving growth, it is crucial to collect correct, timely, insightful artificial intelligence data. If you can successfully do this, you are in a very advantageous position because every decision you make will move in the right direction.
Obviously, as our chairman mentioned, the most important part is that due to this transformation, there are incredible opportunities for growth. Many traditional companies are being disrupted, and this is happening across the world regardless of size. At the same time, many new opportunities are emerging, coming up the system, and you have to understand what those new opportunities are. One way to do that is to look at it from six different perspectives.
As you have just heard from President Fugawa, the most important thing is that this transformation has brought about tremendous growth opportunities. Many traditional companies, regardless of size, are undergoing disruption, a phenomenon that is happening around the world. At the same time, many new opportunities are emerging. To understand what these new opportunities are, they can be analyzed from six different perspectives.
You look at mega trends, you have to understand what are those big transformative trends that are going to change and shape the world. You have to understand technologies, there are too many technologies not just AI, it can be AR, VR, it can be quantum, it can be technologies related to data analytics analysis. You have to make sure that you are ready for all of that technology that is coming your way, whether you like it or not it will impact your business, it will impact your region, and this is something that's being felt with both private sector companies as well as governments worldwide. So you have to be prepared to understand these technologies. Then like I said, you have to understand what the economical, geopolitical issues are in each of the regions of the world so You can better prepare yourself and ensure that your supply chains are resilient for what can become a long-term issue in the marketplace. So based on that, and to the prism of these strategic comparisons, you identify these growth opportunities. And I can tell you there are many, many new opportunities out there, which is one of the reasons why you look at the startup ecosystem. The startup ecosystem is very vibrant in all parts of the world because there are so many different opportunities that are opening up that typically large companies don't work on but smaller startup-type companies try to capture those opportunities. We're getting unicorns emerging from almost every part of the world today, unlike in the past. So in our opinion, there are incredible growth opportunities, and you have to keep track of it and make sure you build a pipeline of these opportunities, okay, and only if you have a pipeline, growth becomes continuous and not ad-hoc, which is what most companies suffer from.
Pay attention to major trends and understand what significant transformative trends will change and shape the world. Understand technology; there are many new technical means currently, not just artificial intelligence. AR , VR Quantum technology, as well as data analysis-related technologies. You must ensure that you are prepared for all the new technologies coming ahead, whether you like them or not; they will affect your business and your region, which is something private businesses and governments around the world are experiencing. Therefore, you must be prepared to understand these technologies. You also need to understand the economic and geopolitical issues in every region of the world so that you can better prepare and ensure your supply chain can withstand factors that may become long-term market problems. Based on this, from the perspective of strategic comparison, you can identify these growth opportunities, and there are many new ones. The entrepreneurial environment is very active around the world, so you also need to pay attention to it. In the face of new opportunities, large companies usually do not try, but smaller startups will try to seize these opportunities. Unlike in the past, today we have almost unicorns emerging from all over the world. So in our view, there are indeed incredible growth opportunities, and we need to track these opportunities and establish effective channels. And growth will only be sustainable, not temporary, when you have channels.
In my work with companies around the world, one question I ask them all the time is, "Do you have a growth pipeline system?" And you'll be surprised even the largest multinational companies in the US, Europe, and other parts of the world do not have a growth pipeline system. And this is very important to build a growth pipeline. So, I encourage everyone here as you go back to your offices to build a team of people who can focus on how to identify these growth opportunities and therefore build a pipeline. Of course, you have to prioritize those because you can't go after every opportunity.
When I collaborate with companies around the world, I often ask one question: "Do you have a growth channel system?" You'll be surprised to find that even the largest multinational companies in the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world do not have a growth channel system. However, building growth channels is very important, and I hope that after everyone returns to the office, they will form a team focused on identifying these growth opportunities and thus building channels. Of course, you must consider priorities because you cannot chase every opportunity.
So the most important one is understanding your competition, and one way to do that is to look at a framework like the Frost Radar, which evaluates companies both on innovation, as well as on growth implementation. So it's not just about listing what products and services are available, but rather evaluating based on that and then positioning yourself in the market vis-à-vis your competitors. This puts you in a very powerful position not only to grow, but to grow faster than your closest competitor. And one thing we all saw in the Olympics, there's only one gold winner. You saw the level of competition year after year, rising higher and higher. Gymnastics used to be scored on a scale of one to ten, now gymnastics is on a scale of one to sixteen, because the level of competition has gone up and up and up. So, there's only one gold medal winner, and that's what will happen in our organizations as well. There will only be one winner in the future, there is no number two, there is no number three. Because if you don't end up becoming number one, you will end up losing market share, which means being completely destroyed as a whole.
Another very important aspect is understanding your competitors. One way to do this is to use systems like the 'Frost & Sullivan Radar' to assess a company's innovation capabilities and execution of growth strategies. It doesn't just look at what products or services there are, but rather evaluates on this basis, determining your positioning through comparisons with competitors in the market. In this way, you are in a very advantageous position; not only can you develop, but you can also grow faster than your closest competitors. As we saw at the Olympics, there was only one gold medal. It can be seen that the level of competition is constantly improving every year. The scores in gymnastics competitions used to be 1 than 10 Now, it is 1 than 16 Because the competition level is constantly improving. There will be only one gold medalist, and this will also happen in the business market. In the future, there will be only one winner, with no second or third place. If you ultimately do not become the first, you will eventually lose market share and be defeated as a whole.
Finally, you must look at best practices, which means how do I go to market, what are the different growth processes I have to consider, whether it's a merger and acquisition or looking at ways to introduce new products or services into the market. And finally, identify companies that you can take action on with, which are those companies with whom you can partner, buy their products from, and supply them with your own products. Understanding your ecosystem is therefore very important as you embark on a global journey.
Finally, it is also necessary to study the optimal implementation path, which refers to how to enter the market, what different growth strategies can be adopted, whether to choose mergers and acquisitions or introduce new products and services. It is also essential to identify which companies can cooperate with and whether they can purchase products from these cooperative enterprises or sell them to them. Therefore, in the process of globalization, understanding the industry ecosystem and determining the actions a company should take are very important.
From my experience, Chinese companies are very well-positioned to be a major participant and take advantage of these global opportunities that are emerging. However, they need to follow a process. What I have shared with you today is a process that will ensure that as you embark on this journey, which I think you should do, because there is so much more that can be done in all parts of the world. Some of my colleagues who are here have expertise in those regions, so please reach out to them. They will be more than happy to work with you and help you build a robust strategy to operate in these various geographies. Then we can ensure that you are successful and avoid costly mistakes.
In my view, Chinese enterprises are fully capable of making full use of these global opportunities to become an important part of the world economy. However, they still need to follow a development process, and what I am sharing today is such a process for achieving growth. I hope you can do the same, as there are many more opportunities globally. My colleagues are very professional in their fields and can be contacted; they will help you build a strong strategy for development in different regions to ensure success without high costs. We are very willing to cooperate with you.
So once again, I would like to thank you very much for coming. I wish you a very successful day. Please engage with your audience, please engage with people, which is why we are here together in the first place. And as I met some senior executives, what will ultimately happen is that when we work together, we will succeed together. So with that, thank you again. Xie Xie.
I would like to thank you all once again for coming today. I wish you a pleasant day. I hope that through this opportunity, we can gather together, interact with other audiences, and with those around us, to increase communication and cooperation. May we move forward hand in hand towards success. Thank you all once again, thank you.
