Canton Fair Chronicles a Decade of Growth in the Global Pet Economy
GUANGZHOU, China, May 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Phase 3 of the 137th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair), held from May 1 to 5, marked the eleventh year of the dedicated exhibition zone for pet products and food. Since its launch at the 116th session in 2014, the zone has evolved alongside the pet industry itself, reflecting the shift from pets as simple companions to key drivers of consumer spending.
Market data points to steady growth across a wide range of pet economy segments, such as food, hygiene products, smart feeders, and more. Each area offers significant potential. According to Global Market Insights, the pet accessories market alone reached USD 23.4 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 49.6 billion by 2034, with a projected annual growth rate of 7.9%. As industry expands, competition intensifies, pushing companies to continuously adapt and innovate.
The 137th Canton Fair marked the fifth appearance of Puyuan (Dalian) Pet Products Co., Ltd., which values the event for its unique advantages over industry-specific exhibitions. May Wu, Puyuan's Operation Manager, noted that the Fair attracts a more diverse group of buyers, enabling access to procurement teams that are often absent at niche trade shows. This exposure has opened doors to new customer segments and led to larger orders from major retailers and supermarkets.
Demonstrating its commitment to innovation, Hangzhou TianYuan Pet Products Co., Ltd. continues to unveil its latest offerings at every edition of the Fair. "A few years ago, this industry was still in its early stages, but now it has reached a considerable scale," said Haha, TianYuan's Marketing Manager. "With over two decades of experience, we've witnessed this transformation firsthand."
The Canton Fair has also played a pivotal role in tracking the rapid development of the pet industry. Initially showcasing necessities like food and toys, this exhibition zone has evolved into a hub for innovation, introducing advanced solutions that redefine pet care, such as a CF Award-winning device that uses voice control and lasers to engage cats, easing anxiety and promoting exercise. Newer offerings also emphasize co-living comfort, from multifunctional furniture for pets and owners to oxygen-infused mineral cat litter that enhances the home environment.
The evolution of the Canton Fair's pet products and food zone not only mirrors the industry's advancement but also underscores the growing bond between people and their animal companions.

AM Best Assigns Credit Ratings to Interplus Re Limited
BUSINESS WIRE)-- AM Best has assigned a Financial Strength Rating of B (Fair) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of 'bb+' (Fair) to Interplus Re Limited (Interplus) (Barbados). The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. The ratings reflect Interplus' balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. Interplus is a reinsurance company incorporated under the Laws of Barbados on Aug. 11, 2021, as a Class 2 License Insurance Company. Interplus is 98% owned by INTEHO Limited, based in Barbados. Interplus offers reinsurance products mainly focused on property business, which accounts for almost 79% of its gross written premium portfolio, followed by surety and credit lines (12%), accidents and health (8%) and the remaining (less than 1%) in life. Two thirds of the businesses underwritten by Interplus originates in Latin America and the Caribbean, with moderate concentration in Ecuador (29% of gross written premiums as of December 2024). The remaining 34% of its portfolio is distributed across Asia (25%), Africa (5%), Europe (4%) and Oceania (less than 1%). Interplus reached USD 34.9 million in gross written premiums during 2024, its third year of operation. AM Best assesses Interplus' business profile as limited due to the recent creation of the company and its small size within a highly competitive global market. Interplus' balance sheet strength is assessed as strong, reflecting the expected volatility of a startup company, its developing investment strategy and adjusting risk profile. The company's capital base has grown since its foundation, to USD 25.1 million as of December 2024, reflecting two years of positive net results and shareholder support from significant capital infusions. AM Best expects Interplus to continue strengthening its capital base through profitable results and prudent capital management. Interplus reported positive bottom-line results of USD 16 million as of December 2024. Reserve adjustments benefited technical results, allowing for a combined ratio of 32%, well within premium sufficiency levels. AM Best expects Interplus to remain profitable through adequate risk selection and stable expenses. The stable outlooks reflect AM Best's expectation that Interplus will continue strengthening its capital base, through prudent capital management and profitable results, to sustain its business plan to maintain current rating levels. Negative rating actions could take place if Interplus' operating performance deteriorates to a point no longer supportive of the adequate assessment and losses further weaken the company's balance sheet strength. Positive rating actions could take place if Interplus is able to consistently strengthen its capital through reinvestment of earnings or capital infusions, demonstrating stability at levels that support the current ratings, according to Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best's website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see AM Best's Recent Rating Activity web page. For additional information regarding the use and limitations of Credit Rating opinions, please view Guide to Best's Credit Ratings.

Circle stock extends stunning rally amid high hopes for crypto 'disruptor'
Circle (CRCL) stock's massive rally is showing no signs of cooling. The issuer of USDC stablecoins (USDC-USD) soared roughly 15% in morning trading on Friday, extending its stunning post IPO gains as Wall Street bets big on the crypto player. "Circle as a top-tier crypto 'disruptor' with a sizeable future opportunity," Seaport Research Partners analyst Jeff Cantwell wrote in a note on Friday. He said that the company would benefit from an improving regulatory climate in the US. "We think the overall stablecoin 'market cap' will reach $500B by the end of next year; longer-term, we think it ultimately can reach $2T," he added. Cantwell initiated Circle with a Buy rating and a price target of $235. Shares hovered near $228 each during Friday's rally. The stock is on track to close out the week up more than 65%. Shares are up more than 600% above their IPO price of $31. Circle surged on Wednesday following the Senate's passage of the GENIUS Act, legislation that provides a federal framework for stablecoins, tokens backed by assets, such as the US dollar. "History is being made, as the US Senate passes the GENIUS Act, taking us one step closer to breakthrough legislation being signed into law that will drive US economic and national competitiveness for decades to come," Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire said on X following the bill's passage. Read more about Circle's stock moves and today's market action. Circle issues the stablecoin USDC, which stands for USD coin and is backed by the dollar. The company makes most of its revenue from "reserve income," which is what it makes on cash backing its stablecoin that is held in banks or invested in Treasury bills. Momentum surrounding stablecoins also sent shares of trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) and crypto exchange platform Coinbase (COIN) higher in recent weeks. Coinbase holds a minority stake in Circle.
