KOREA PET MARKET
“Korean pet market has increased nearly 300% in the last ten years
as dog ownership has increased and is expected to continue to grow.”
Pets increasingly welcomed
Dogs are by far the most popular pets, 22% of the nation’s entire household keep a dog and accounting for 92% of the pet population in 2006. As a result, South Korean pet food and pet care products is heavily oriented towards dog-related products. Only recently did cats become considered acceptable as household pets. Korean cat market has increased nearly 30% in the last three years.
An interest in pets prevails mostly among the younger generations. The internet plays a significant role in the trend. Many online pet-lover communities exist, mostly with members showing off the beauty of their own pets and also sharing information on pet care or even distributing young pets or organizing mating. Consequently, countless online pet shops emerged, selling pet foods and pet care products.
