19. MarketHub Insight

Pet food is a core product in the pet industry with the most stable repeat purchase demand . Overseas buyers place the utmost importance on raw material safety, nutritional design, palatability, manufacturing facility certification, and the ability to comply with country-specific import regulations .

Domestic manufacturers can enter global pet food brands, online platforms, and veterinary distribution networks, focusing on functional feed, senior feed, wet feed, and freeze-dried feed. It is more effective to structure RFQ strategies in the form of a Pet Nutrition Package or Senior Pet Health Diet Series rather than individual products.
