This year we are welcoming visitors from 85 countries, we have people from Columbia, Chile, Russia here – so its really developing into a global pet industry hub. The show has grown in size both in terms of visitors and organisers, we want to provide a quality exhibition for the pet Industry and also a wonderful experience for the conferences programme, networking events, cultural events, product showcase – we want to create a special experience for people attending our show.
India is a strong visitor market; we have Indian companies who have exhibited here and found new partners in these markets. The current trends are on health and supplements, people see pets as family members and want to spend more money on their pets their wellbeing and their health. People are cautious when it comes to ingredients of pet food and focus on ingredients.
We welcome the Indian pet Industry on October 29 to 31 2025; we want to provide a valuable platform to make new connections in international markets and network. We have very strong bonds and both markets can benefit from each other.”
