China pet industry's booming
growth in recent years captured the eyes of capital investors.

speakers, who are key players in both investment and pet
fields.
The cross border of pet and aqua, international and domestic
markets, OEM and ODM, online and offline is blurred. China's position in the world pet industry is
not only a manufacturing center, but a huge market as well. Chinese
manufactures make more efforts in design capacity, and get more
conscious in brand promotion and marketing now. In 2018, 63
companies have been granted prizes for manufacturing and selling
Premium Products of the same quality both in international domestic
markets.
In the aqua field, CIPS is building up a worldwide platform
gathering manufacturers, hobbyists, breeders, clubs, associations,
and media. CIPS Global Ornamental Fish Championship has expanded

for the global pet industry, and an ideal bridge connecting the
growing Asian market. CIPS is also strong for innovation", says Ms.
