Core Viewpoint - The pet economy, while appearing lucrative with a market size of 300 billion and gross margins up to 50%, is not a profitable venture for large companies due to high operational costs and reliance on human capital rather than scalable business models [4][10][30]. Industry Overview - The pet economy is characterized by high gross margins, particularly in pet food, where domestic brands can achieve margins of 40%-50% [10][11]. - Service sectors such as grooming and veterinary care also show high potential margins, but the actual profitability for companies is often low due to high operational costs [10][15]. Company Performance - Major players like Pet Fresh and others have faced significant losses, with Pet Fresh closing 18 stores after burning through 178 million RMB in just nine months, averaging losses of over 200,000 RMB per store monthly [5][11]. - Companies like Zhongchong Co. and Petty Co. report low net profit margins, with Zhongchong's gross margin at 28.16% and net margin at only 9.33% [11][12]. Marketing and Sales Costs - The cost of acquiring customers through KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) and marketing has skyrocketed, with sales expenses for companies like Guibao Pet increasing from under 100 million RMB in 2017 to 500 million RMB in 2024, leading to diminished net profit margins despite increased sales [13][14]. Challenges in Scaling - The pet economy is heavily reliant on personal relationships and trust between pet owners and service providers, making it difficult for large companies to replicate the success of smaller, independent businesses [27][30]. - The high costs associated with maintaining quality service and customer trust, such as expensive store locations and high employee wages, hinder profitability for larger firms [15][28]. Comparison with Other Industries - Similar challenges are observed in other high-margin industries like beauty and medical services, where the core value lies in skilled personnel rather than scalable business operations [19][20][24]. - The pet industry exemplifies a trend where the most profitable segments are those that rely on individual expertise and customer relationships, rather than mass-market strategies [30].

Core Insights - The pet economy, with a market size of 300 billion and gross margins reaching 50%, appears to be a lucrative business, but the reality is more complex and challenging for large companies [1][4]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Major players like Hema have entered the pet market with high expectations, but have faced significant losses, exemplified by Pet Fresh's closure of 18 stores after just 9 months, with an average monthly loss exceeding 200,000 RMB per store [2][6]. - Despite the high gross margins in pet food, with domestic brands achieving 40%-50% margins, the actual profitability for many companies is low, with some reporting negative net margins [5][6]. Group 2: Cost Structure - The high gross margins in the pet industry are offset by substantial marketing and operational costs, particularly in advertising through KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders), which can consume a significant portion of revenue [8][10]. - Companies like Zhongchong and Peidi have shown that even leading firms struggle with profitability, with Zhongchong's gross margin at 28.16% and net margin at only 9.33% [6][9]. Group 3: Business Model Challenges - The pet economy is characterized by a reliance on personal relationships and trust between pet owners and service providers, making it difficult for large companies to replicate the success of smaller, independent operators [22][23]. - The expansion of large pet service providers often leads to operational inefficiencies and customer dissatisfaction, as seen with companies like Jichongjia, which faced closures after rapid expansion [22][24]. Group 4: Comparison with Other Industries - The challenges faced in the pet economy mirror those in other high-margin industries like beauty and medical services, where the core value often lies in individual expertise rather than scalable business models [14][20]. - The pet industry, much like the beauty and medical sectors, is fundamentally a "people-driven" business, where success is tied to individual skills and customer relationships rather than just operational efficiency [20][23].
