CHINA – Pet Fair Asia 2025 is issuing a final call for applications to its exclusive Buyer Club, an invitation-only programme designed to streamline the sourcing experience for international pet industry professionals. 

The 27th edition of the event will take place from August 20 to 24 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), bringing together over 2,500 exhibitors across more than 310,000 square metres of exhibition space.

The Buyer Club targets C-level decision-makers with defined purchasing budgets who are already registered to attend the fair. Applications close on June 30, 2025, and must be submitted via the official Pet Fair Asia website.

Members of the Buyer Club receive a range of curated services aimed at making their visit both productive and enjoyable. 

These include complimentary three-night accommodation at the show’s appointed hotels, guided tours and pre-arranged meetings with suppliers, and access to the International Buyer Lounge. 

Members will also be invited to the event’s official networking party and enjoy organised visits to local pet shops and veterinary hospitals to gain insight into China’s domestic market practices.
