"Pet Economy" Booms: Yiwugo Provides One-Stop Access to 30,000+ Products
YIWU, China, June 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world. This year, the pet economy has seen explosive growth, with the pet products market continuing to expand. Data from Yiwugo reveals that since the opening of the Yiwu market in 2025, the search popularity for 'pet supplies' has remained exceptionally high. For nearly half a year up to early June, 'pet supplies' consistently ranked among the top 50 most-searched keywords on Yiwugo. It is reported that the pet supplies zone in Block 5 of the Yiwu International Trade Market covers 8,000 square meters, with annual sales exceeding 2 billion RMB. Over 80% of these products are exported to Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Southeast Asia, accounting for approximately 10% of China's total pet supplies exports.
An article published on the Yiwu Index on June 6, 2025 covering the pet economy stated, 'Yiwu's pet supplies sales reached 3 billion RMB in 2024, representing about 15% of China's total pet supplies exports. Yiwu has become the largest specialized pet supplies market in China, offering over 30,000 distinct product items, covering every aspect of pet care, from food and apparel to housing, travel, and daily essentials.'
Regarding the rapid growth in product variety and professional specialization within Yiwu's pet supplies market, Mr. Wang Sheng, who is in charge of Zhejiang Fengpei Pet Articles Firm, and the Secretary-General of the Yiwu China Small Commodities City Pet (Aquatic) Supplies Industry Association, is particularly well-positioned to comment. Since entering the industry with his wife in 2008, Wang has focused on building a one-stop pet supplies procurement base. Today, their company boasts an extensive catalog of nearly 30,000 product items.
As a vertically integrated company combining manufacturing and trade, Fengpei far surpasses industry standards in both product design and quality.
In 2016, the company was among the first to identify the gap between the diverse market demand for pet harnesses and the limited supply options available. Determined to enhance product quality and create more exquisite harnesses, Wang meticulously researched the market and collaborated with a professional design team. That year, Fengpei launched several original harness designs, featuring superior raw materials, reinforced thickness, significantly improved strap durability, and extended service life. They quickly became popular in the domestic pet supplies market and soon gained traction internationally, with overseas buyers competing for orders. Mr. Wang stated, 'during the peak year, we sold more than one million units.'
Since then, harnesses have become Fengpei's signature product, establishing the company as a premium industry player. While continuously elevating product professionalism and expanding its categories, Wang has also implemented a systematic management structure across all levels of production and sales. This has propelled the company to become a supplier to multiple renowned domestic and international brands.
Now serving as Secretary-General of the Yiwu China Small Commodities City Pet (Aquatic) Supplies Industry Association, Wang shoulders greater responsibility for industry development. Some of Fengpei's long-term clients, originally mom-and-pop shops, have grown into branded enterprises with thousands of employees. Aided by Yiwugo platform, the company has secured increasing orders from high-quality domestic and international companies, providing crucial momentum during its recent growth surge.
Mr. Wang recalled that a few years ago, a well-known overseas chain supermarket contacted him via Yiwugo requesting product samples. After several rounds of supplier evaluations, the company won the order by leveraging Yiwu's unique advantages in raw materials and logistics, coupled with outstanding product quality and exceptional cost-effectiveness. The partnership continues strongly to this day, with annual orders for certain products exceeding one million RMB during peak seasons.
As a merchant who has personally witnessed the booming development of Yiwu's pet supplies market, Wang is profoundly grateful for the support from both the Yiwu market and Yiwugo platform. He firmly believes that as more industry players enter and enrich the market, the pet supplies sector in Yiwu will continue to flourish with even greater vitality!

China's Rare Earth Magnet Exports Slump in May, Especially to US

Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' One Architect's Quest to Save Mumbai's Heritage From Disappearing JFK AirTrain Cuts Fares 50% This Summer to Lure Riders Off Roads NYC Congestion Toll Cuts Manhattan Gridlock by 25%, RPA Reports Taser-Maker Axon Triggers a NIMBY Backlash in its Hometown Chinese exports of rare earth magnets slumped further in May, with shipments to the US showing an especially steep drop due to the trade war with Washington. Rare earth minerals, and the products that use the elements, have been at the center of the dispute since early April, when China imposed export controls in retaliation for punitive tariffs levied on Chinese goods. The two countries have since sought to reset relations, culminating in a meeting in London in early June, which prompted US President Donald Trump to declare that issues around rare earths had been resolved. China accounts for about 90% of the world's rare earth products, most of which are magnets, and whether it allows supplies to flow more freely after the agreement reached in London will be a key focus for governments and markets in the weeks and months to come. Chinese customs data on Friday showed the extent of the impact on supplies of rare earth magnets in particular, an item vital for high-tech industries from carmakers to defense contractors. The controls have affected sales to all countries, with China's total exports roughly halving in April, and then halving again in May, to 1,238 tons. That comes to about $60 million, the lowest-value month in data going back to 2015, barring February 2020 and the onset of the pandemic. The US portion by volume in May was just 46 tons, less than one-tenth of the magnets it imported in March. Other countries including Vietnam, host to a number of Chinese companies, and Germany saw their supplies hold up much better. Those two countries were the top destinations last month, accounting for 19% and 17% of sales, respectively. --With assistance from James Mayger.

7 Items To Stock Up on in Response to Trump's Tariffs
In the politically tumultuous world of looming inflation, you have to start asking yourself what to stock up on in response to price hikes. Do you purchase items from Canada, Mexico or China? Read Next: Learn More: The Trump Administration has placed an additional 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% tariff on imports from China, according to the White House's official website. These tariffs are on top of existing tariffs already in place — so how could this affect consumers' personal finances? There has been a lot of back and forth with the tariff mandates, but ultimately, it comes down to how much each will impact your wallet. Here are some examples: Homes: The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) estimated that before the recent 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum, tariff activity added roughly $10,900 to the average cost of a new home. This could also reduce the number of homes being built, which would create a housing shortage, and lead to higher inflation pricing thanks to warped supply and demand. Car: Some economists predict that Trump's Tariffs are expected to drive up auto costs anywhere between $4,000 to $12,500, depending on what type of car you buy and where it comes from. For example, there is an imposed 25% tariff on steel and aluminum that could hurt U.S. automakers on imports from Mexico and Canada. Food: Coffee from Brazil (tariff rate: 10%) and Colombia (tariff rate: 10%); Olive Oil from anywhere in the European Union (tariff rate: 20%); Seafood from Chile (tariff rate: 10%), India (tariff rate: 26%), Indonesia (tariff rate: 32%) and Vietnam (tariff rate: 46%); Fruit from Guatemala (tariff rate: 10%), Costa Rica (tariff rate: 10%) and Peru (tariff rate: 10%) In an ideal world, these tariffs wouldn't increase the price for U.S. consumers; however, this isn't realistic. With that in mind, try to make some intentional purchases for items now that are subject to Trump's tariffs and will go up in price, if they hopefully haven't already. Here are a few things to add to your shopping list to grab before stores have to restock with more expensive inventory. For You: Countless well-known computer brands, such as Apple, Dell and HP, create and assemble their products in China. According to the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), 8.7% of all exports from China are for computers. If you're thinking about upgrading your work laptop or gaming PC, consider doing so now before prices are adjusted for tariffs. TV and other broadcasting equipment accounted for 12.5% of exports from China to the United States, according to the OEC. Have you been dreaming about a 75-inch flatscreen TV in your living room? How about upgrading your desk monitors or investing in a surround sound system? Whatever the case, consider buying your TV and electronics equipment now. China is a major exporter of toys and video games to the United States. In 2023, toys, video games and card games accounted for 5.40% of imports into the United States, per the OEC. Now might be a great time to stock up on birthday presents, Christmas gifts and other toy items before prices increase. If you're a business owner or in the market for a new vehicle, consider expediting your purchase. Over 23% of imports from Mexico in 2023 were related to cars, delivery trucks and accessories, according to the OEC. If you've been considering upgrading your car, it might make sense to get the process started sooner rather than later. If you enjoy having a cold one after a long day, check where your beverage comes from. In 2023, purchases of beer and hard liquor made up 2.32% of the United States' imports from Mexico, per the OEC. Alcoholic beverages have a long shelf life, making them great items to stock up on. Canada is a major producer of rapeseed oil, also known as canola oil. In fact, 1.18% of all U.S. imports from Canada in 2023 were for rapeseed oil, according to the OEC. If canola oil is your preferred cooking oil, consider stocking up, as prices are likely to increase due to tariffs. Wood products, including sawn wood, particleboard board and wood carpentry items, made up 2.25% of imports from Canada in 2023, per the OEC. If you're considering starting a new project or ordering a new piece of furniture, now might be the time to stock up. The prices for lumber and products containing wood and particleboard may increase over the next few months. New tariffs don't always mean prices will increase. However, taking a proactive approach and stocking up on items you would already be purchasing can safeguard your wallet if prices do rise.

Could China's rare earth pivot ease strain on the automotive sector?
China has approved a number of rare earth export licences, a move that could provide modest relief to global manufacturers struggling with supply disruptions. But with export volumes still sharply down and no transparency on which firms benefit, Europe's automotive industry remains vulnerable to further disruption. At a press conference on Thursday, China's commerce ministry confirmed it had approved 'a certain number' of export licence applications for rare earths and magnets. These minerals are used in an array of high-tech products such as smartphones and jet engines. Rare earths such as neodymium, dysprosium and terbium are indispensable for producing lightweight, high-efficiency motors in electric and hybrid vehicles. China's announcement follows months of tension sparked by Beijing's decision in April to impose new export controls on seven rare earth elements and related products — just days after Washington introduced steep tariffs on Chinese goods. According to commerce ministry spokesperson He Yadong, China will 'continue to strengthen the review and approval' of licence applications and remains 'willing to enhance communication and dialogue' on export controls. The updated tone from Beijing also arrives just weeks before a major EU-China summit set for 24 to 25 July in Beijing, commemorating 50 years of diplomatic relations. Chinese customs data shows the stark impact of the restrictions. Exports of rare earth magnets plunged 74% in May compared to a year earlier, the steepest drop in over a decade. Shipments to the United States fell by 93%, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. Total export volumes for May stood at just 1.2 million kilograms, the lowest since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. Earlier April exports also dropped by 45% year-on-year. Related EU Decoded: Is the EU losing the geopolitical race for critical raw minerals? From lithium to rare earths: Europe's strategy to power its future energy JL Mag Rare-Earth, a major Chinese magnet supplier to Tesla, Bosch and General Motor, said last week that it had begun receiving licences for shipments to the US, Europe and Southeast Asia. Since April, hundreds of export licence applications have been submitted to Chinese authorities, but only about one-quarter have reportedly been approved. Some firms have encountered requests to disclose IP-sensitive information, while others have faced outright rejections based on unclear procedural grounds. ING economist Rico Luman indicated that with 'nearly 70% of global rare earth production and more than 90% of processing taking place in China, the world remains heavily reliant' on the country. Though rare earths are not geologically scarce — cerium, for instance, is more abundant than copper — their extraction is costly, and mineable concentrations are rare. "It's not a question of scarcity, but of concentration," Luman added. China also supplies more than 90% of the world's demand for rare earth permanent magnets, frequently used in electric motors and wind turbines. Without access to these materials, the European automotive supply chain risks paralysis. The automotive sector relies heavily on rare earth magnets for electric motors, power steering, sensors and other components used in both combustion and electric vehicles. 'China's export restrictions are already shutting down production in Europe's supplier sector,' Benjamin Krieger, Secretary General of CLEPA, warned earlier this spring. His call for 'transparent, proportionate' licensing remains relevant, even as some licences begin to clear. The European Chamber of Commerce in China confirmed that while some progress has been made, challenges persist. 'The situation is improving, although the percentage of cleared licences does vary. Additionally, even once the licence is given, delays can still be seen in customs clearances,' said Adam Dunnett, the Chamber's secretary general. Beijing's latest move to ease export restrictions on key components for the automotive industry offers only limited relief to a sector under strain. The European automotive industry, already grappling with competition from lower-cost Chinese electric vehicles, remains vulnerable to material shortages, delays and discretionary actions from Beijing — thereby reinforcing China's leverage in global trade negotiations.
