Korea’s Development of Petconomy is Changing the Way Companion Animal Specialty Drug Manufacturers Operate

South Koreans are expected to spend US$ 3 billion on their pets in 2020 and more than US$ 3.5 billion in 2021, resulting in an increase in pet-related businesses in Korea. According to the Korea Rural Economic Institute, this figure is expected to reach US$ 5 billion by 2027, creating opportunities for Korea’s companion animal specialty drugs market.

The market for Companion Animal Specialty Drugs in South Korea is booming. People are increasingly providing human-like items and experiences for their pets. As a result, the term “pet humanization” is gaining currency around the world. As a result, the demand for companion animal specialty drugs is increasing.

In addition to traditional pet supplies and already established grooming and veterinary services, insurance, health care, and nutrition are rising as new promising areas since more people are prepared to spend money on the enrichment of their pet’s life. With the help of internet-of-things-based smart devices, pet parents can now provide for their animals’ needs even when they’re not at home.

Several new pet-related terms, such as Petfam and Petconomy, have evolved in the country. A pet-friendly household, or “Petfam,” is one in which pets are treated as members of the family, while “Petconomy,” a portmanteau of “pet” and “economy,” refers to businesses in which sales of companion animal specialty drugs and services are a primary focus.
