The rapid growth of the pet furniture market stems from profound changes in consumption trends. The concept of "pet humanization" has spread globally—pets are regarded as family members, and pet owners are willing to purchase furniture products that meet human home standards for them. Global pet care spending reached $152 billion in 2024 and is expected to continue rising in 2025. The number of Gen Z pet owners increased by 43.5% year-on-year; they are more inclined to buy fashionable and tech-integrated furniture products for their pets, further expanding the market base.
In terms of product structure, pet beds and sofas dominated the market with a 41% revenue share in 2024, while multi-functional furniture (such as convertible sofas and hidden pet nests) became the fastest-growing segment with a 9.2% CAGR. In terms of pet types, dog furniture accounts for 47% of the market share, and cat furniture is expanding rapidly at a 7.9% growth rate. Especially under the trend of urban apartment living, demand for cat trees and cat towers that utilize vertical space has surged.
Zunhua, Hebei: The pet cage industrial cluster has an annual output value of several billion yuan, producing 12 million sets of products such as metal enclosures in 2024, exported to more than 20 countries including the US and Germany, becoming an important base for China's pet cage exports.
Caoxian, Shandong and Pingyang, Wenzhou, Zhejiang: Form a complete industrial chain in pet beds and mats, integrating textile fabrics to finished product processing, achieving dual control of cost and quality.
Xingtai, Hebei and Yiwu, Zhejiang: Have rapid response capabilities in design, sampling, and mass production of pet toys and pet climbing frames.
Facing the rising overseas demand for quality, design, and environmental protection, Chinese pet furniture enterprises are transforming from "low-cost manufacturing" to "value innovation." To respond to the global sustainable consumption trend, Chinese enterprises actively adopt eco-friendly materials, such as pet mats made of recycled PET plastic, cat trees made of FSC-certified wood, and eco-friendly pet nests made of bamboo fiber and bio-based resin composites. These products are particularly popular in European and American markets. Some enterprises have developed lightweight hemp fiber panels, which are superior to traditional MDF panels in strength-to-weight ratio and have been applied to high-end pet furniture series.
In terms of design, Chinese manufacturers pay more and more attention to the visual harmony of "human-pet cohabitation," cleverly combining Oriental aesthetics with Western functional needs to launch modular pet furniture suitable for small apartments. For example, pet nests that double as side tables, foldable and storable pet enclosures, and wall-mounted cat trees. After being verified in the Asian market, these products are quickly launched to European and American apartment dwellers.
In the supply chain, Chinese factories have realized small-batch and fast response through digital transformation. Many cross-border e-commerce sellers adopt the "pre-sale + rapid replenishment" model, first obtaining order data through market testing, then linking with factories for precise production, which greatly reduces inventory risks.
