Report Name: Hong Kong Pet Food Market Report 2026 Country: Hong Kong Post: Hong Kong Report Category: Agriculture in the News, Market Development Reports, Product Brief
Prepared By: ATO Hong Kong Staff
Report Highlights: Hong Kong is a long-standing market for U.S. pet food, with the United States remaining the leading supplier for over two decades due to strong consumer confidence in U.S. safety standards, quality control, and country-of-origin branding. In 2025, Hong Kong imported $28.8 million of U.S. dog and cat food, up 2.8 percent year-on-year, even as total global pet food imports fell 6.5 percent to $142 million. About $41 million (29 percent) of imports were re-exported—mainly to mainland China and Macau—while $101 million (71 percent) stayed in the local market. Demand for premium, sciencebased, and functional pet food continues to grow, supporting opportunities for U.S. exporters.
