Ms. Sirirat Korwanich, Chief Marketing Officer for Credit Cards at Krungthai Card Public Company Limited, or KTC, revealed that spending via KTC credit cards in the pet category from January to June 2026 totaled over 602 million baht, growing 12% compared to the same period last year. Notably, June 2026 saw spending of more than 101 million baht, a 13% increase from June 2025, reflecting a shift into the Pet Parent era where owners prioritize the health and quality of life of their pets no differently than family members. Although the Thai economy still faces challenges from unevenly recovering purchasing power, the pet market continues to grow steadily and shows more resilience to economic conditions than many other industries. KTC is therefore moving forward to support the Pet Parent segment through exclusive privileges at the Pet Expo Championship 2026, taking place from July 30 to August 2, 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. Members can use KTC FOREVER points to redeem up to 18% cash back and choose installment plans with a special interest rate of 0.74% per month for up to 10 months.
Krungthai Card PCLKTC reports 12% growth in pet category spending, indicating strong consumer demand for its credit card services in this segment.
