Three Squirrels(SZ:300783) Xi Niu Cai Jing·2025-06-24 09:27Group 1 - The core point of the news is that the snack giant Three Squirrels is re-entering the pet food market by establishing a subsidiary named "Anhui E Le Ge Miao Pet Food Co., Ltd." with a registered capital of 5 million RMB, focusing on pet food and related services [2][3]. - Three Squirrels previously attempted to enter the pet industry in 2020 with the brand "Yang Le Ge Mao Hai," but exited due to strategic adjustments. Now, with recovering performance, the company is investing heavily to launch a new brand "Jin Pai Nai Ba," targeting the pet food sector [3][4]. - The pet economy in China is rapidly growing, with the industry scale reaching 592.8 billion RMB in 2023 and expected to exceed 1 trillion RMB by 2028. Pet food accounts for over 50% of this market, with cat food growing faster than dog food, indicating significant opportunities for new brands [3][4]. Group 2 - The pet food market is highly competitive, with traditional brands and new entrants from various food companies. Three Squirrels has advantages in supply chain and online sales experience, but faces challenges in gaining consumer trust in pet nutrition [4][5]. - The previous attempt with "Yang Le Ge Mao Hai" achieved sales of over 2.5 million RMB during the 2020 Double Eleven shopping festival, but was ultimately transferred due to strategic changes. The success of "Jin Pai Nai Ba" remains uncertain in the saturated market [4][5]. - Three Squirrels is also diversifying into other sectors such as alcohol, prepared dishes, and daily chemicals, aiming to create a "full-category consumption ecosystem." The success of this diversification strategy is yet to be tested in the market [4][5].
