CIPIC 2026: The Two-Day Conference Where the Global Pet Industry Debates Where the Market Goes Next
The CIPS International Pet Industry Conference (CIPIC) is the main conference of the China International Pet Show. The 2nd edition is one of the show’s main events, where professionals debate global market changes, growing business opportunities and the pet industry’s future direction. It takes place during the 30th China International Pet Show, November 12 to 15, 2026, at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou.
Unlike the exhibition floor, which shows what the industry is producing, CIPIC explores why and how. Each of the conference’s two days runs under its own theme: “Industrial Chain Collaboration and Innovation” on the first, and “Sustainable Development and Industry Responsibility” on the second. As a result, pet business leaders get market insight and supplier meetings in one trip.
The conference grows out of a strong 2025 programme. Last year’s CIPIC looked at mission-driven brand development, sustainable supply chains and global market transformation. For 2026, the organizers are adding more around it. Attendees will have access to more than 20 events and special activities, including the Aquatic Industry Convention and a cross-border e-commerce pet supplies seminar. Therefore, buyers can pair CIPIC with other pet industry events in China for one efficient trip.
Who gains the most from CIPIC 2026
Pet brand owners, distributors, importers, retail buyers, manufacturers and cross-border e-commerce sellers all benefit. For instance, brands planning their sourcing and sustainability strategy can hear from peers across the supply chain instead of piecing it together from reports.
Moreover, the event is international. Professionals from close to 120 countries and regions are expected in Guangzhou. Also, investors, media and industry associations can use the conference to track where Asia’s pet market is heading.
