From the U.S. to Southeast Asia: Why Pet Crematory Businesses Are Switching to Water-Based Technology
In the past decade, Pet Aquamation (also known as alkaline hydrolysis) has become a rising trend in the global pet aftercare industry. As a manufacturer of aquamation machines, we’ve seen demand grow across the world—from the United States, Canada, and Japan to Thailand and Vietnam.
So what’s fueling this global shift, and why are more businesses turning to aquamation?
1. Eco-Friendly Technology: More Than Just a Trend
In the midst of a climate crisis, today’s consumers are more environmentally conscious. They’re starting to question the impact of traditional flame cremation, which emits high levels of carbon and pollutes the air.
In contrast, aquamation:
- Produces no smoke or toxic gases
- Uses 90% less energy than flame cremation
- Leaves near-zero carbon footprint
This is why many U.S. states and European countries are legalizing and actively promoting aquamation.
2. Data & Legal Progress Supporting Global Growth
United States
- Aquamation is now legal in over 30 states
- More states are introducing new legislation
Japan & South Korea
- Rapid growth in pet ownership
- High-income pet parents seek cleaner, more ethical aftercare services
Southeast Asia: Thailand & Vietnam
- Urbanization + rising middle class = surge in pet ownership
- Entrepreneurs now seek modern, neighborhood-friendly aftercare technology
3. Changing Consumer Demands
Younger generations across Asia are expecting more than just “standard cremation.” They want:
- Ethical and aesthetically pleasing pet aftercare
- Services that are odor-free, smokeless, and non-traumatic
- A modern, professional brand experience
Aquamation offers all of the above.
4. A More Profitable Business Model
From a business perspective, Pet Aquamation delivers:
- Lower operating costs (no fossil fuels needed)
- Simpler maintenance and fewer consumables

This makes aquamation not only the “green choice” but also a smart business strategy.
