The countdown for the 29th China International Pet Show (CIPS), which will be held in Guangzhou from November 13 to 16, 2025, has begun. After starting as a regional fair almost thirty years ago, CIPS has grown to become one of the most important international gathering places for the pet business.
With global supply chains changing, sustainability becoming a commercial need, and retailers striking a balance between product diversity and operational efficiency, this year’s edition arrives at a crucial moment for the industry. The end product is a show that is intended to be both thorough and focused.
More than 30,000 professionals from more than 120 markets have confirmed their attendance, which is already 30% more than the previous year. Fressnapf, Cobasi, Plaček, Dohse Aquaristik, and PetSmart are among the major purchasers, demonstrating the event’s global influence.
CIPS has improved its B2B matchmaking tool to optimise value. From November 13 to 15, buyers and exhibitors meet for 25-minute sessions after pre-selecting each other online. The strategy aims to promote qualified, fruitful commercial discussions in place of random meetings.
What to Expect At The Exhibition Floor?
Cats, dogs, reptiles, aquatics, small pets, birds, and exotics will all be represented by more than 1,200 exhibitors at the exhibition. To address the increasing demand for private-label and compliance-ready sourcing, more than 80% are integrated suppliers with R&D and manufacturing capabilities.
Along with aquatics-focused advancements like new filtration and habitat systems, visitors may anticipate seeing a variety of mass-market food and supply lines, functional diets, eco-friendly materials, and design-led items. Energy-efficient procedures, recyclable packaging, and smart pet gadgets will be commonplace, highlighting the sector’s transition to sustainability.
With its Innovation Award and “Green Paw Prints, Love for Earth” initiative, CIPS 2025 is more than just a product showcase. The sustainability program honours “Green Pioneers” who are promoting recyclable packaging, renewable resources, and transparent supply chains, while the prize rewards items for their technical value and economic feasibility in addition to their creativity.
The CIPS International Pet Industry Convention (CIPIC), which will run concurrently with the event, will highlight innovation, teamwork, ESG frameworks, and circular business models. The 2nd Aquatic Industry Convention, which is being co-hosted with Ornamental Fish International (OFI), will explore the growth prospects, laws, and difficulties unique to the aquatics industry in emerging economies.
CIPS 2025 is a place where you will get attendees from over 120 nations, a supplier base that accounts for around 70% of worldwide output, and a conference schedule covering topics ranging from private-label alliances to sustainability. For an industry at a turning point, it serves as a platform for decision-making, assisting companies in determining their top goals for the upcoming stage of expansion.
