Introduction: When more and more brands start selling tofu cat litter, what do they really look at?<\/p>\n

Ten years ago, if someone mentioned tofu cat litter, many buyers’ first reaction was: “This is a product of the Asian market.”<\/p>\n

At that time, its sales area was relatively limited and its consumer groups were relatively concentrated. Compared with bentonite cat litter, tofu cat litter is more like a new product, which has not really entered the global mainstream market.<\/p>\n

But in the past few years, this situation has changed significantly.<\/p>\n

More and more European brands have begun to launch plant cat litter series; Tofu cat litter products on the North American e-commerce platform are increasing; In the Middle East, Southeast Asia and South America, more and more demand for purchasing plant cat litter has also begun to appear.<\/p>\n

Many importers will ask the same question when they contact us for the first time:<\/p>\n

“Tofu cat litter has really become a market trend? Or is it just a short-term marketing hotspot? ”<\/p>\n

Our answers are usually more direct.<\/p>\n

The growth of tofu cat litter is real, but it is not just the word “environmental protection” that really promotes the market development.<\/p>\n

Consumers buy tofu cat litter not to experience a new material, but to find a product that is more in line with the modern way of raising cats.<\/p>\n

They hope that the cat litter will be easier to clean, with less dust, and the air at home will be cleaner, so that cats can adapt to the new cat litter more quickly, and the products can meet the use habits of different families.<\/p>\n

For the brand, this means that tofu cat litter is not only a product, but also an important part of product line upgrade.<\/p>\n

For OEM customers, this also means that the market competition has gradually shifted from “whether there is tofu cat litter” to “who can provide tofu cat litter with more stable quality and better experience.”<\/p>\n

\u0641\u0636\u0644\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0637\u0637 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0648\u0641\u0648<\/a> has become one of the fastest growing categories in the world if you are looking for plant cat litter suitable for brand building or product line expansion.<\/p>\n

But not all tofu cat litter has the same quality.<\/p>\n

The proportion of raw materials, particle structure, moisture content, production technology and packaging methods will directly affect the agglomeration effect, dust performance, transportation stability and consumer experience of products.<\/p>\n

For long-term brand importers, it is usually more important to choose a factory that can continuously provide stable quality and OEM support than simply pursuing the lowest purchase price.<\/p>\n

Why does the development speed of Tofu Cat litter far exceed many people’s expectations?<\/h2>\n

If we look back at the international pet exhibitions in recent years, it is not difficult to find an obvious change.<\/p>\n

More and more brands will display plant cat litter in the booth.<\/p>\n

Even if their main product is still bentonite cat litter, they will add one or two tofu cat litter as a product supplement.<\/p>\n

This change is not accidental.<\/p>\n

What really promotes the development of the market is the change of consumers’ lifestyle.<\/p>\n

In the past, most families had larger living space and were not so sensitive to the problems of cat litter, dust and sand.<\/p>\n

Now, more and more young consumers live in apartments, small houses or urban houses.<\/p>\n

The distance between the litter box and the living room and bedroom is getting closer and closer.<\/p>\n

This means that the experience of using a cat litter has not only affected cats, but also affected the living environment of the whole family.<\/p>\n

Many consumers change the tofu cat litter for the first time, not because it can flush the toilet.<\/p>\n

\"tofu<\/p>\n

They are more concerned about:<\/p>\n

Whether a lot of dust will be raised in the air when the cat litter is poured every day;<\/p>\n

Whether there are particles everywhere on the floor after the cat comes out of the litter box;<\/p>\n

When cleaning cat litter, whether the dough is complete and not easy to disperse.<\/p>\n

These seemingly ordinary details are redefining consumers’ expectations for cat litter products.<\/p>\n

Because of this, more and more brands began to rethink their product structure.<\/p>\n

For a mature brand, it is difficult to meet the needs of different consumers by selling only one kind of cat litter.<\/p>\n

Establishing a complete product matrix is becoming the development direction of more and more brands.<\/p>\n

Tofu cat litter is not to replace bentonite, but to create new consumer demand.<\/h3>\n

Many buyers will ask a question when they first enter the industry:<\/p>\n

“Will tofu cat litter completely replace \u0641\u0636\u0644\u0627\u062a \u0642\u0637\u0637 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0646\u062a\u0648\u0646\u064a\u062a<\/a> in the future?”<\/p>\n

In fact, judging from the current global market, this situation has not happened.<\/p>\n

Bentonite cat litter still has a very stable consumption base.<\/p>\n

Especially in large supermarkets, multi-cat families and the market that pursues high cost performance, bentonite still occupies an important position.<\/p>\n

The developme: The production process determines whether the product can withstand long-distance transportation.<\/h3>\n

Many importers have encountered such a situation.<\/p>\n

The sample test is very satisfactory.<\/p>\n

But a few months later, when the big goods arrived at the warehouse and opened the package again, they found that the state of the products had changed.<\/p>\n

Some people think this is a transportation problem.<\/p>\n

Others believe that it is caused by the storage environment.<\/p>\n

In fact, both factors will have an impact.<\/p>\n

But what really determines whether the product is stable is still the production process.<\/p>\n

A mature export-oriented tofu cat litter should not only consider the performance in the laboratory, but also consider the challenges brought by long-term shipping, high temperature, high humidity and storage environment in different countries.<\/p>\n

Therefore, in the process of product development, we are more concerned about long-term stability than single test data. Tofu cat litter is packed in an outer carton with five layers of corrugated paper during transportation, and it is placed neatly and orderly during packing. The multi-layer operation procedure makes the tofu cat litter avoid dust caused by collision and crushing during transportation as much as possible.<\/p>\n

For OEM brands, this means that suppliers should not only be able to produce products, but also understand the real problems facing the export market.<\/p>\n

\"\u0641\u0636\u0644\u0627\u062a<\/p>\n

Industry Insight | Why do European and American markets pay more and more attention to tofu cat litter?<\/h2>\n

Many people believe that the rapid growth of tofu cat litter in overseas markets is mainly due to “environmental protection”.<\/p>\n

In fact, this is only one of the reasons.<\/p>\n

What really drives the market change is that consumers are increasingly demanding the experience of raising cats.<\/p>\n

Ten years ago, a cat litter was competitive as long as it could agglomerate and deodorize.<\/p>\n

Today, consumers will pay attention to more details.<\/p>\n

For example, whether it is easy to raise dust when pouring the cat litter, whether the particles stepped by the cat will be scattered all over the room, whether it is easy to stick to the bottom when cleaning, whether it is easy to save after opening the package, whether the cat litter is safe and caked can all be handled more conveniently (flushing the toilet).<\/p>\n

These changes seem subtle, but they directly affect consumers’ daily experience.<\/p>\n

Because of this, many brands began to readjust their product strategies.<\/p>\n

They no longer regard plant cat litter as a “supplementary product”, but gradually put it into the core product series.<\/p>\n

Especially in the European market, more and more brands began to operate bentonite, tofu cat litter and mixed formula products at the same time, instead of relying on a single category.<\/p>\n

This trend shows that consumers want to have more choices, while brands want to cover more different needs.<\/p>\n

From the OEM point of view, this also means that the purchasing demand is changing.<\/p>\n

In the past, customers asked more about prices and pursued the cheapest products blindly.<\/p>\n

Now, they are more willing to discuss product positioning, market demand, consumer groups and future product line planning.<\/p>\n

This is also a new challenge for the factory.<\/p>\n

Long-term cooperation is no longer just a factory with strong production capacity, but a partner who can understand market changes and continuously develop products.<\/p>\n

\"\u0645\u0639\u062f\u0627\u062a<\/p>\n

BuyerTips | This is the first time to purchase tofu cat litter. These issues are more important than the price.<\/h2>\n

Many importers will focus on the quotation when purchasing tofu cat litter for the first time.<\/p>\n

This is normal.<\/p>\n

But in the long run, what really affects the brand development is often not the procurement cost, but whether the product can continue to be recognized by consumers.<\/p>\n

Before formally determining suppliers, we usually advise customers to focus on several aspects.<\/p>\n

First, understand the raw materials of products, not just publicity.<\/h4>\n

The raw material ratio and production technology of different suppliers are different.<\/p>\n

Even if the selling points on the packaging are similar, the final performance may be completely different.<\/p>\n

Second, confirm whether the samples and bulk goods adopt the same standards.<\/h4>\n

A mature supplier should be able to ensure that the samples are consistent with the bulk goods, rather than only providing “specially optimized” samples.<\/p>\n

Third, understand whether the product is suitable for the target market.<\/h4>\n

For example, high temperature and high humidity areas require higher moisture-proof ability of packaging; The e-commerce channel pays more attention to product appearance, transportation stability and consumer unpacking experience.<\/p>\n

Fourth, plan the OEM direction in advance.<\/h4>\n

Many brands only customize packaging at first.<\/p>\n

However, with the increase of sales volume, it is hoped to increase the flavor, particle size or mixed formula.<\/p>\n

If the factory has mature OEM development ability, the subsequent upgrade will be smoother.<\/p>\n

Purchasing cat litter is not a one-time transaction, but a long-term brand investment.<\/p>\n

Choosing a partner who can accompany the brand growth is usually more valuable than simply pursuing the lowest price.<\/p>\n

Common Mistakes | Many importers will step on the pit when purchasing tofu cat litter for the first time.<\/h2>\n

In the process of cooperation with overseas customers, we found that some problems will recur almost every year.<\/p>\n

These problems are not because customers are inexperienced, but because there are many differences between tofu cat litter and traditional mineral cat litter.<\/p>\n

The most common misconception is that all tofu cat litter is similar.<\/p>\n

In fact, plant-based products have higher requirements for raw material quality, production technology and storage and transportation.<\/p>\n

In addition, many customers only focus on sample testing.<\/p>\n

They will repeatedly compare samples from different suppliers, but ignore the stability of subsequent large goods.<\/p>\n

In fact, a truly mature product should not only perform well in the sample stage, but should still maintain stable quality after half a year or a year.<\/p>\n

Another problem that is easily overlooked is packaging.<\/p>\n

Many brands spend a lot of time designing packaging, but do not fully consider the transportation cycle and storage environment.<\/p>\n

For export products, packaging not only undertakes the function of brand display, but also is an important part of protecting product quality.<\/p>\n

Therefore, in OEM projects, we suggest that customers should incorporate packaging, moisture-proof scheme and logistics cycle into product planning together, instead of adjusting them at last.<\/p>\n

\"cat<\/p>\n

Real buyer scenario | A typical OEM purchasing idea<\/h2>\n

A new brand that plans to launch a series of plant cat litter contacted a number of suppliers during the preliminary investigation.<\/p>\n

At first, they hoped to find the lowest-priced products in order to enter the market quickly.<\/p>\n

After the sample test, they found that the product differences of several factories were not obvious.<\/p>\n

The real difference appears in the subsequent communication stage.<\/p>\n

Some suppliers can only provide products with fixed specifications.<\/p>\n

Some can only change the packaging.<\/p>\n

Some suppliers will take the initiative to ask about brand positioning, sales channels and target consumer groups.<\/p>\n

With the progress of the project, customers gradually realize that what they really need is not a standard product, but a set of sustainable product solutions.<\/p>\n

Finally, they adjusted the packaging specifications around the product positioning, and optimized the fragrance and particle design according to the target market.<\/p>\n

After the product went on the market, it not only got good market feedback, but also laid the foundation for the subsequent launch of the mixed cat litter series.<\/p>\n

Such cases are not uncommon in OEM cooperation.<\/p>\n

Brand development rarely depends on a successful purchase.<\/p>\n

More often, it depends on a stable and sustainable product system.<\/p>\n

Love Sand Practice | A successful tofu cat litter is not only produced, but also created together.<\/h2>\n

At LOVE SAND, we always believe that OEM cooperation is not simply to complete an order.<\/p>\n

Every market and brand will have its own positioning and development direction.<\/p>\n

Some customers hope to build high-end plant cat litter series, some customers pay more attention to the mass market, and some customers hope to launch mixed formula products to form differentiated competition.<\/p>\n

Therefore, we will not directly recommend the “most expensive” or “cheapest” solution, but discuss the more suitable product direction in combination with the customer’s market, sales channels and consumer demand.<\/p>\n

In addition to conventional packaging customization, we also support the development of different particle specifications, fragrance types, formulas and packaging forms.<\/p>\n

As the brand continues to grow, products can also be continuously upgraded, instead of finding new suppliers every time.<\/p>\n

For long-term cooperation, this ability of sustainable development is often more important than an order.<\/p>\n

Q1: Why are some tofu cat litter prone to quality changes after long-distance transportation?<\/h3><\/summary>
A: Plant-based products have higher requirements for storage environment and packaging. In addition to the raw materials themselves, the moisture-proof performance of packaging, transportation cycle and production technology will affect the stability of products. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose a factory with export experience.<\/div><\/div><\/section>

Q2: It's the first time to make OEM tofu cat litter. Should we customize the packaging or determine the product first?<\/h3><\/summary>
A: It is suggested to determine the product positioning first, and then decide whether to customize the packaging according to the budget. Different markets have different requirements for particle specifications, fragrance and packaging capacity. After the product scheme is clear, the packaging design will be more accurate.<\/div><\/div><\/section>

A: We support different particle specifications, fragrances, mixed formulas, packaging sizes and Private Label customization, and can provide product suggestions according to the market demand of different countries to help customers build more competitive product series.<\/div><\/div><\/section>

Q4: How to judge whether a tofu cat litter factory has long-term cooperation ability?<\/h3><\/summary>
A: In addition to the production scale, it is recommended to pay attention to whether the factory has a stable quality management system, mature OEM experience, continuous research and development capabilities and long-term export experience. These factors determine the future development space of the brand.<\/div><\/div><\/section>

Q5: What are the development opportunities of tofu cat litter in the future?<\/h3><\/summary>
A: With the increasing demands of consumers for indoor environments, cat-raising experience, and product diversity, tofu cat litter still has broad development space. In the future, mixed formulas, functional products, and more refined OEM customization will become important development directions for the market.<\/div><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
