Beijing, April 2 /Xinhua/ — From feed production, daily care to behavioral monitoring and digitalization of the entire production chain — artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly being integrated into the domestic animal economy sector in China. It combines production, consumption, services and veterinary care, injecting new digital energy into the industry, whose market is valued at hundreds of billions of yuan in the country.
Currently, the pet economy in China has entered a new phase of large-scale and high-quality development. According to the White Paper on the Pet Industry in China, published by the big data platform PaiDu, the consumer market volume for pets (dogs and cats) in urban areas of China will reach 312.6 billion yuan in 2025.The number of pets is steadily increasing, and the focus of consumer demand is shifting from basic satisfaction of feeding needs to such directions as health management, scientifically based feeding, emotional support, and professional veterinary care. This creates broad opportunities for the implementation of AI technologies.
EFFECTIVENESS AND QUALITY GUARANTEES: II BASES FOR THE STUDY
In the upstream production segment of the pet industry, II transforms production processes, optimizes supply chain management, and helps enterprises achieve accurate product development and efficient production. To meet key needs such as balanced nutrients and optimal feed taste quality, companies use analytical models based on big data II.They deeply analyze the nutritional needs of pets, taking into account their breed, age, and physical condition, overcoming the limitations of traditional development based solely on experience. This allows for the creation of specialized feeds and functional treats that precisely meet the requirements of caring owners.
At the production line, intelligent equipment combined with visual quality control systems based on AI ensures full automation of monitoring the production of feed and goods for pets. The entire process — from raw material selection and processing to finished product inspection — is strictly controlled, which significantly increases production efficiency and the percentage of high-quality products.
“Earlier, the development of feed for household animals was entirely based on industry experience. The release of a new product from development to market launch took almost a year. Now, using large AI data models, we can quickly analyze millions of feeding data and feedback on the condition of animals from owners. The development cycle has been reduced by almost 40%, and the product’s compliance with needs has significantly increased,” noted the head of the development department of one of the leading Chinese companies producing feed for household animals.
According to him, relying on II technologies, the company has released functional products such as food for aging animals and food for specific breeds, which exceeded market expectations, strengthening the advantages of domestic feeds in the field of precision development.
INNOVATIONS IN THE SPHERE OF RETAIL TRADE: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTS THE DAILY LIFE
In homes of pet owners, AI-based intellectual devices have already become an everyday necessity, fundamentally changing traditional feeding methods. Intellectual feeders, automatic waterers, smart trays with precise dosing functions, automatic cleaning and data monitoring solve feeding problems in the absence of caretakers and the labor-intensive cleaning.Interactive devices with behavior recognition based on AI and voice interaction technologies can track a pet’s actions in real time and respond to its needs, erasing temporary and spatial boundaries and strengthening the emotional connection between humans and animals.
Offline establishments such as pet stores and interaction clubs are also experiencing a revival thanks to AI. Traditional stores are implementing intelligent diagnostics and marketing systems, creating visualized and intelligent comprehensive service spaces. In interaction clubs, AI data analysis helps optimize space management and service processes, improving the quality of interaction between humans and pets and stimulating the activity of offline consumers.
“Previously, the service in the store completely depended on the experience of the staff, and giving professional recommendations to owners was difficult. Now, our intellectual diagnostic device based on AI can quickly measure the weight, fat percentage, and coat condition of the pet, and the intelligent system directly forms an individual care plan for the owner. As a result, visitor traffic and the number of repeat purchases have increased by more than 30%,” shared the manager of one of the pet stores in Beijing.
She noted that AI tools not only reduce the operational costs of the store, but also make the services more professional and attentive, which strengthens the connection between offline stores and pet owners.
II technologies also contribute to breakthroughs in veterinary medicine.
Veterinary medicine is a key segment with high added value in the pet industry, as well as an important area for AI implementation. Currently in China, several major veterinary AI models have been put into practice. Relying on multimodal recognition technologies, they provide intelligent interpretation of X-ray and ultrasound images, automatic analysis of blood test results, and intelligent processing of medical histories.This significantly increases the efficiency of veterinary services and helps improve the level of service in primary veterinary institutions. According to clinical trials, the implementation of auxiliary diagnostic systems based on AI allows increasing the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment of common diseases in pets by more than 30 percent.
ENGINEERED HIGH-QUALITY SOLUTION: THE ISSUE IS DISCUSSED
AI technologies connect the entire pet industry chain, facilitating the transition of the industry from fragmented business operations to coordinated development, forming a mature ecosystem of the intellectual pet market. Industry experts note that as AI technologies and the accumulation of profile data continue to develop, competition in the industry is shifting from price rivalry to comprehensive competition, which includes the depth of technology, service accuracy, and emotional engagement, along with the level of standardization and regulatory oversight in the industry continuing to increase.
According to analysts, deep integration of AI in the pet industry not only increases operational efficiency throughout the entire chain and improves the quality of products and services, but also precisely corresponds to the modern trends of scientifically grounded and thoughtful care for animals. In the future, domestic pet product brands, relying on local technological innovations and the advantages of the production chain, will be able to secure more significant positions in the global market.
From stable market expansion worth hundreds of billions of yuan to accelerated digital transformation of the entire production chain, from modernization of basic material consumption to meeting the need for emotional connections – the Chinese pet industry, driven by AI technologies, not only achieves a leapfrog growth in efficiency but also responds to the deep aspirations of people for a better life.In the future, with the continuous development of AI technologies and the improvement of the industry ecosystem, the entire production chain related to domestic animals in China will move in the direction of greater intelligence, humanity, and orderliness, satisfying the needs of the population and creating a unique Chinese model of domestic animal economy development.
