SECTION IV. PET FOOD DOMESTIC SALES In 2025, Hong Kong’s pet food market remained relatively stable, with total sales reaching $779 million, a modest increase of 0.4 percent from the previous year. Dog food accounted for $299 million (38 percent) of the market, while cat food represented $477 million (61 percent). Pet owners increasingly prioritize higher-quality and more innovative products, with growing interest in pet supplements, healthcare products, and pet insurance. This trend reflects growing awareness of pet wellness and the high cost of veterinary care in Hong Kong. Between 2021 and 2025, total dog food sales declined by 4.6 percent. Within the category, premium dry dog food sales fell by 4.6 percent, premium wet dog food declined by 13 percent, and dog treats and mixers decreased by 7.7 percent. The decline in sales reflects the shrinking dog population, which fell to 273,000 in 2025. Despite this trend, average annual spending per dog increased to $1,095, indicating that remaining dog owners are spending more per pet and increasingly prioritizing higher-quality products.
