TGM Research Shares APAC Pet Care Insights at Pet Fair Asia 2026 in Shanghai

On August 20, 2026, TGM Research took the stage in Shanghai at the Asia Pet Hospital Management Conference 2026, presenting data-driven insights into the latest pet care trends across the Asia-Pacific region. Hosted by Pet Fair Asia, the event gathered veterinary leaders and industry professionals to address the evolving demands of pet health, service management, and regional market growth.

A key highlight of the event was the session “Data-driven Insights on the Latest Pet Care Trends in APAC,” presented by Tatiana Masalska-Laska, CXO of TGM Research, and Thuyen Vu, CMO of TGM Research.

Drawing on TGM Pet Care Insights 2026 in APAC, TGM's presentation was about the diversity of pet ownership across seven APAC markets. The session also focused on China’s mature pet care market and Chinese female pet owners, examining how consumers think, spend, connect with their pets, and embrace technology in modern pet parenting.

Key areas covered during the presentation included:

• Pet ownership and lifestyle patterns across China compared with the wider APAC market
• Priorities around pet health and veterinary care
• Spending behaviors and factors influencing pet nutrition and feeding choices
• Demand for pet care products and services in APAC as a whole, and China in particular.
• China’s high openness to modern pet tech and its role in smart pet care.
• Key market gaps, opportunities, and areas of growth identified through the APAC–China comparison

By bringing together regional and market-specific data, the discussion provided a clearer view of where China aligns with broader APAC patterns and where the market stands apart, offering useful perspectives for pet care brands, veterinary providers, and other industry stakeholders.

The insights presented at the conference are now available in the Special Report: Pet Care Trends in APAC & China 2026, providing a deeper look at the data and comparisons behind the presentation. The report is based on primary research with 4,543 APAC pet owners and 817 Chinese consumers, conducted across two research phases in 2025 and 2026.

As the pet care industry continues to develop across Asia, consumer data can help businesses better understand market needs, identify opportunities, and make more informed decisions.

For veterinary providers, pet care brands, and other industry stakeholders, tracking owner behaviors and priorities can provide valuable direction for product development, service strategies, and more.

One example is Chinese female pet owners. Women may not be the largest pet owner segment in China, but they could be among the most influential in shaping purchasing decisions, pet care priorities, and technology adoption in the years ahead.

TGM Research mapped six key traits of Chinese female pet owners, discovering the behaviors behind their decisions. These insights provide a closer view of where future opportunities may lie within China’s pet care market.

Detailed data on these traits, along with broader APAC and China pet care insights, are available in the Special Report: Pet Care Trends in APAC & China 2026, published on TGM StatBox. For specific market breakdowns, contact TGM Research to discuss your research needs.

A sincere thank you to Pet Fair Asia and everyone who attended our session at the Asia Pet Hospital Management Conference 2026. It was an inspiring opportunity to exchange ideas with industry leaders and explore how data-driven insights can power the next era of pet care growth across APAC.

Beyond the stage, exploring Pet Fair Asia 2026 gave our team a firsthand look at the latest innovations, market dynamics, and emerging trends shaping the regional landscape. More importantly, engaging with brands, veterinary experts, and partners from across Asia allowed us to take meaningful conversations on the future of pet parenting far beyond the conference room.
