Pet food is essential for pet owners, while pet accessories and petcare supplies such as pee pads and cat litter are growing, she said.

However, some pet owners are more cautious with their spending.

Market growth is being driven by more informed owners on pet care, nudging them to opt for longevity care for their pets, said Ms Kittika.

She said more Thais are choosing to forgo having children and some are opting to raise pets instead. This trend contributes to market growth.
