On Jan 18, the China Animal Agriculture Association and Shandong province-based pet information platform Pethadoop jointly issued the "2021 Pet Industry White Paper". It said that in recent years, a growing group of consumers fond of pets has spurred the sector in China. Among pet-related consumption, pet food expenses waned while downstream segments like grooming ratcheted up. In 2021, the latter's penetration rate amounted to 54 percent, up 13 percentage points on a yearly basis.
1月18日，中國(guó)畜牧業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)和山東省派讀（Pethadoop）寵物行業(yè)大數(shù)據(jù)平臺(tái)聯(lián)合發(fā)布了《2021年中國(guó)寵物行業(yè)白皮書(shū)》。根據(jù)這份白皮書(shū)，近年來(lái)，越來(lái)越多喜歡寵物的消費(fèi)者刺激了中國(guó)寵物行業(yè)的發(fā)展。在與寵物相關(guān)的消費(fèi)中，寵物食品的支出減少了，而美容等下游環(huán)節(jié)的支出卻增加了。2021年，后者的滲透率達(dá)到54%，年增長(zhǎng)達(dá)到了13個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。

"Such a positive trend reveals the trend of new-generation consumers, mainly young, who make up nearly half of total pet owners in China today. They are highly educated and well paid, thus enjoying greater consumption power. About 90 percent of them are college graduates, and one-third make at least 10,000 yuan ($1,570) each month," the document said.
這份白皮書(shū)還指出：這樣一個(gè)積極的趨勢(shì)揭示了新一代消費(fèi)者的趨勢(shì)。這群消費(fèi)者主要是年輕人，他們占了今天中國(guó)寵物主人總數(shù)的近一半。他們受教育程度高，收入高，因此消費(fèi)力更強(qiáng)。他們中約有90%是大學(xué)畢業(yè)生，1/3的人每月收入至少是10000元（1570美元）。

"With grooming costing 300 yuan per visit, just a few times a year, it is affordable. Moreover, they regard pets as family members rather than accessories - a characteristic that could stimulate more spending on derivative services," it added.
此外，白皮書(shū)還提到：“每次美容的費(fèi)用大概是300元，一年只需幾次，這個(gè)價(jià)格是可以承受的。此外，他們將寵物視為家人，而不是裝飾。這一點(diǎn)可能會(huì)刺激更多的衍生服務(wù)消費(fèi)?！?/p>

"The price of grooming varies among different breeds, but as long as we take pets as our family members, we will not hesitate to clean and pamper them if they have such a need," said Nan, Zongzi's owner.
粽子的主人Nan說(shuō)：“不同品種的寵物美容價(jià)格不同，但只要我們把寵物當(dāng)成自己的家人，而且只要它們有這樣的需求，我們就會(huì)毫不猶豫地給它們?nèi)プ銮鍧?，去呵護(hù)它們?！?/p>

Qiang Lin, a medical practitioner that has been in the industry for over 20 years, said: "With such ties tightening, the grooming market seems to embrace more opportunities. Unlike the pet vaccine segment, it is witnessing more homegrown companies in competition. As a noncore sector, grooming services and facilities are accepted and more welcomed by pet owners."
從事該行業(yè)20多年的獸醫(yī)強(qiáng)林（音譯）說(shuō)：“隨著寵物和主人的關(guān)系越來(lái)越緊密，美容市場(chǎng)似乎會(huì)有更多機(jī)會(huì)。跟寵物疫苗市場(chǎng)不同，美容市場(chǎng)有更多本土企業(yè)參與競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。作為一個(gè)非核心領(lǐng)域，寵物美容服務(wù)和設(shè)施在寵物主人當(dāng)中的接受度和受歡迎程度也都在上升。”

Undoubtedly, the pet grooming sector in China is quite promising, as public attitudes toward raising pets are becoming more open and accepting. The sector awaits to be further tapped into, Qiang said.
無(wú)疑，隨著公眾對(duì)于養(yǎng)寵物的接受度越來(lái)越高，態(tài)度越來(lái)越開(kāi)放，中國(guó)的寵物美容市場(chǎng)前途無(wú)量。強(qiáng)林認(rèn)為，這個(gè)市場(chǎng)的潛力還有待進(jìn)一步開(kāi)發(fā)。
