Pet industry in Japan - statistics & facts
Between pet shops and beauty parlors, pet businesses form a highly commercialized market in Japan. As animal companions have been integrated into the modern household system and treated as family members, the products and services are not limited to daily necessities anymore. Japan’s pet market has grown steadily in the last decade, with live animal sales and services being the largest segment. However, as the peak of the most recent pet boom at the start of the 2020s has passed, pet food will be important for the future growth of the wider pet market.
