[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Recently, due to social changes such as the low birthrate problem and the rapid increase of single-person households, the number of families raising pets has increased, expanding the related industry market. The Korea Rural Economic Institute predicts that the domestic pet industry will grow to 3.3 trillion KRW this year and is expected to expand to 6 trillion KRW by 2027.

Stanley Black & Decker's lifestyle home appliance leading brand, Black & Decker, recently launched the ‘Pet Brush Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (SVJ520BFSP)’ reflecting the concerns of pet families who live with their pets. The biggest feature of this product is that it is equipped with a pet beater bar and a pet powerhead.

The pet beater bar is a head specially designed to strongly suction pet hair and pet food that easily get tangled and do not come off easily. The pet powerhead allows suction power adjustment from strong to weak depending on the cleaning space and usage environment, and the suction power level can be easily checked through the display. Suction power can be adjusted as needed, enabling fast and easy cleaning.

A Black & Decker representative said, “The Pet Brush Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, which adds functions essential for households raising pets for pet families who consider pets as family members, is steadily gaining popularity.”

Hanssem introduced the ‘Mare’ round table and stool, pet furniture jointly developed with the domestic lifestyle furniture brand ‘Ceres Home’ on the 17th.

The Mare round table and stool are products designed by researching and reflecting the living patterns of pets so that people and pets can rest, work, and play together.

The round table has a top width of 75cm, designed to be used without burden regardless of space constraints such as studio apartments. The stool has a separate storage space underneath where frequently used items like books and remote controls can be placed, or it can be used as a resting space for pets. The colors are available in white, light gray, and deep gray, and the furniture craftsman hand-paints each piece to capture a natural sensibility.

Since it is furniture used together with pets, safety was also considered. It is finished with a soft curved round design, uses E0-grade wood with low formaldehyde emissions, which is a harmful substance, and environmentally friendly adhesives. Additionally, the Mare round table and stool use Italian eco-friendly paint containing sterilization and deodorization functions.

A Hanssem representative said, “The Mare table and stool are products that allow you to enjoy a better life with your pets and also enjoy a stylish interior effect.”
