Market figures and context
The congress information material cites a market estimate for skin and coat care products of $4.2 billion. It also reports a compound annual growth rate of 9.60% between 2024 and 2030, with a market horizon close to $8 billion in 2030 according to industry sources.
The material also generally references the magnitude of the global companion animal population, a contextual data point for manufacturers and suppliers analyzing demand and segmentation.
Program and featured activities
The congress offers three days of conferences and panel discussions focused on cosmetic and olfactory innovation applied to pets. Sessions are designed to present formulation solutions, new fragrances and formulation practices adapted to animal skin and coat. There will also be networking spaces for pet sector professionals and personal care specialists working in formulation, R&D and production.
Sectors and profile of companies present
The event’s focus implies the presence of laboratories, ingredient manufacturers, fragrance houses and companies dedicated to finishing and formulating products for dogs and cats. Packaging suppliers and regulatory and safety companies for animal cosmetics are also relevant. The target audience ranges from technical R&D teams to commercial and product managers.
Commercial prospecting and networking in Saint-Raphaël
If your goal is to capture B2B clients in this niche, prepare technical arguments and samples that demonstrate efficacy and safety for skin and coat. Bring technical data sheets and dermal tolerance testing data when appropriate. Book meetings in advance and prioritize formulation companies and distributors that work with retail shops and veterinary clinics.
During breaks and networking sessions, identify contacts by functional responsibility rather than by company size. A short script for quick meetings helps move from a commercial presentation to a concrete request for a trial or sample shipment.
