GlobalPetIndex is the Global Pet Industry Directory & Intelligence platform — a structured index of the companies, brands, products and markets that make up the pet industry. Buyers use it to find qualified suppliers and manufacturers; brands, distributors and analysts use it to see how the market is actually shaped, and where the next opportunity sits.
Our mission
The global pet industry is massive, fragmented and full of missed connections. A buyer in Germany hunting for a reliable toy manufacturer in China, a brand in the US scouting European distributors, a retailer comparing private-label suppliers — they all waste weeks chasing scattered, outdated information.
GlobalPetIndex exists to close that gap. We map the industry's manufacturers, brands, distributors, retailers and service providers into one structured directory — company by company, category by category, country by country. Then we read that directory back as intelligence: who makes what, who already sells where, which categories are crowded and which markets still have room. One dataset, two jobs — find the partner, and understand the market you are entering.
The directory works for three kinds of people. Buyers and sourcing teams shortlist manufacturers and suppliers they can actually reach. Brands, exporters and distributors find the channels and countries where their products are missing. Analysts, consultants and trade professionals use the same index to see how the industry is put together — and where it is moving next.
Data as of 2026-11-18 (UTC). Counting rules: companies are counted once at profile level; markets require at least one indexed company; market size and score are estimates. Full definitions at data definitions.
Meet the founder
Scott Zhu
Founder & CEOScott Zhu has spent more than a decade building businesses and relationships across the global pet industry — from retail and distribution to sourcing and digital growth. He founded GlobalPetIndex after repeatedly watching promising suppliers struggle to reach international buyers, and buyers waste months verifying partners across fragmented markets.
His vision is to make the pet industry as connected and data-driven as the world's most efficient B2B sectors — while giving every serious player, regardless of size, the visibility they deserve.

Find suppliers and manufacturers
Search and filter the industry by country, category, product channel and business type, then shortlist manufacturers, distributors and private-label partners instead of guessing.
Discover market opportunities
Compare countries and categories to see where demand sits, who already serves it, and where a product, price band or sales channel is still missing.
Understand the market
Rankings, country profiles, category maps and industry news turn a list of companies into a readable picture of how the pet industry actually works — who leads, who supplies whom, and what is changing.
Get found by buyers
Claim your profile, publish what you make and where you sell, and appear when buyers search your category — your own record, kept current, instead of a sales pitch.
