中文：兽视数据：中国成全球最大兽展举办国

Singaporean furry media channel Global Furry Television (GFTV) has released its annual review of furry conventions using data from its Furcon Status Tracker (FURST), which has monitored events worldwide since 2020.

For 2024, FURST recorded 170 conventions completed and 27 cancelled.

According to the Furry Charity Index, compiled by Dutch creator Thabo Meerkat, the furry community donated nearly US$2 million to charity last year — the highest total since 2020.

China now leads the world in number of furcons

FURST data shows that 31 new events debuted in China in 2024, bringing the total to 60 conventions held annually.

This places China ahead of the United States, which hosted 54 events in the same year.

FURST’s tracking also shows a rise in event frequency. For example in China, during peak months from July to October, five to six conventions may run during the same weekend.

GFTV understands that these are often timed with school holidays and public breaks, such as China’s National Day.

Asia continues steady growth

Since 2020, Asia has seen consistent year-on-year growth in furry events.

By comparison, events in North America and Europe faced more closures during the same period as organisers adjusted to post-pandemic conditions.

Southeast Asia continued to expand as well.

Vietnam’s Furry Gathering in Vietnam (FurGiV) held its first edition in 2024, and Malaysia’s second furcon Borneo Anthro Hub (BAH) is set to debut in 2026.

Furcon organisers in the region told GFTV that more new events may be announced later this year.

Looking ahead to 2025

Based on current patterns, GFTV FURST expects China’s furry convention scene to continue growing in both size and visibility.

Event organisers in Southeast Asia also anticipate more activity, reflecting the region’s increasing interest in furry events.

Coming 2026, Southeast Asia will have 12 furcons across six countries. If there are new event announcements, this number may change. / GFTV FURST

荷兰毛兽创作者 Thabo（萨博）的 Furry Charity Index（”兽圈慈善指数“）数据也指出，2024 的慈善捐款创下了 2020 年以来新高。

中国兽展数量全球领先

国际兽视的 FURST 数据显示，2024 年中国新增 31 场兽展，全年总数达 60 场，超越美国的 54 场。

在 7 月至 10 月的高峰期，中国甚至出现同一周末举办 5 至 6 场兽展的情况。据兽视理解，这大致与学校假期及国庆假期时段有关。

亚洲兽展持续增长

自2020年起，亚洲兽展数量逐年稳定增长，而北美和欧洲则因疫情后调整期面临更多活动取消。

东南亚地区同样扩张。2024年，越南首次举办 Furry Gathering in Vietnam (FurGiV)；马来西亚第二家兽展 Borneo Anthro Hub (BAH) 将于 2026 年首次亮相。

据亚洲地区几位主办方透露，2025 年可能还有更多新兽展公布。
