The 15th China (Shenzhen) International Pet Supplies Exhibition, known simply as the Pet Fair, is scheduled to take place at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Futian District from March 12 through 15.

Themed “We are One” and featuring an exhibition area surpassing 90,000 square meters, this edition is poised to draw over 1,000 exhibitors from home and abroad.

It will feature more than 10,000 well-known brands showcasing a wide range of pet products. These categories encompass the entire pet industry, including pet food, supplies, health products, grooming, and medical care.

This year’s expo will be structured across eight major themed halls to help buyers navigate the vast selection. Halls 1A and 1B will spotlight domestic pet brands, offering a comprehensive look at the latest trends in local manufacturing and consumer favorites. 

Adjacent to these, Hall 1C will serve as the gateway for international commerce, housing the International Brand Pavilion where global innovators can connect with North American retailers. Attendees looking to explore the intersection of wellness and upkeep will find their hub in Hall 1D, dedicated to the food supply chain and beauty care sectors. 

Meanwhile, the growing emphasis on comprehensive pet care is reflected in the specialized zones for companion animals: Hall 7 will focus exclusively on feline products and general pet supplies, while Hall 8 pushes the envelope with a dedicated zone for smart tech and pet products, showcasing the latest in automated and connected devices for modern pet owners.

Rounding out the exhibition space, Halls 9A and 9B will delve into the vast world of general pet merchandise, with 9B specifically highlighting the booming cross-border e-commerce sector. This dedicated space aims to connect international online retailers with established suppliers, facilitating global trade in the digital age.
