The pet industry in Saudi Arabia has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by a substantial increase in the number of pet owners as well as a rising demand for high-quality products and services tailored to their pets’ needs. Pet Expo 2025 is the first and only pet expo in Saudi Arabia celebrating its fourth consecutive year due to the promising current and potential pet market in the country. As the middle class expands and incomes rise, pet owners in Saudi Arabia are becoming increasingly discerning in their search for high-quality food, accessories and healthcare services for their pets.

 

According to recent studies, the pet care market in Saudi Arabia is estimated to be around 4.4 billion Saudi riyals with a growth rate of over 8.2% annually. The latest market research suggests that the Saudi pet market is poised to continue its upward trajectory, with a growth rate of over 10% annually. The growing popularity of pets and increasing awareness of the importance of animal welfare and care are major factors contributing to the growth of the pet industry in Saudi Arabia.

 

Finding new markets can be challenging and given the increasing awareness among the Saudi society of the importance of pets and their breeding at home and in farms, it is anticipated that the pet industry will grow rapidly in the coming years. The number of pet breeders is increasing and pet stores, clinics and hotels catering to pets are becoming more widespread across the country, in addition to an increase in non-profit charitable organizations dedicated to animal welfare. The pet expo will serve as an important platform for all suppliers, retailers and distributors in the Gulf, Middle East and North Africa region.
