Pet Business Opportunities and Sharing Economy in the Post-Covid-19 Pandemic Era

Abstract

The number of Americans adopting pets has increased, as if the pandemic crisis has strengthened the people's need for pet companionship. As the post-pandemic era is approaching, there are 140,000 Taiwanese participating in Taipei Pet Products Show. It reveals that the markets of pet food, appliances, and health food are flourishing and a lot of families cherish pets more than they did in the pre-pandemic stage. Furthermore, Taiwanese pet-beauty shop and pet-veterinary clinic are still providing services separately. The market does not seem to have a similar network platform for pets and masters in the stage. As an entrepreneur who loves pet, I hope the government can provide an integrated network platform and quality services for Taiwanese pet-masters, just like Uber and Airbnb, which encourage all shops to serve their proper purposes.
