Against a backdrop of global economic volatility and industry-wide challenges, the 2025 Global Pet Sourcing Conference (PSCC) opened on November 5th in Guangzhou, bringing together international stakeholders under the unifying theme of "Co-Rise." As an integral component of the Pet Sourcing Fair China（PSC）, this year's comprehensively upgraded conference focused on collective strategies to navigate current challenges and propel the pet industry forward.
Confronting significant headwinds including supply chain restructuring, rising operational costs, and market uncertainties, the conference emphasized that cooperative global engagement represents the most viable path toward sustainable industry advancement.
The conference program featured a central main forum complemented by multiple specialized tracks addressing critical industry sectors: pet food, breeding, grooming, investment, e-commerce, parrot trade, and aquatics. This diverse agenda facilitated deep knowledge exchange among more than 80 distinguished industry experts representing 17 countries worldwide.
As the first dedicated grooming forum held concurrently with the PSC Fair, the Global Pet Grooming Forum was successfully held on the afternoon of November 7 in the Conference Room, Hall 2. Focusing on "Professional Standards and Global Integration," the forum gathered eight top experts from Mainland China, South Korea, and Taiwan, China. They systematically addressed core issues in the pet grooming industry from four key dimensions: Product Evaluation Systems, Global Trend Insights, Technical Practice Implementation, and Cross-Border Roundtable Dialogue. This established a professional exchange platform for practitioners to connect with global experience and address operational pain points, supporting the industry's upgrade towards standardization, internationalization, and innovation.
