Hongkongers spend record HK$2,000 per month on cats as ‘silver’ feline market grows

Hongkongers spent an average of HK$2,062 per month on pet cats in 2026, a 2.8% increase from the previous year, driven by the expanding 'cat silver economy'. The Exhibition Group, organizer of the Hong Kong Cat Expo 2026, cited the growing number of ageing cats as a key factor in this market growth.
