Executive Summary The objective of this report is to provide comprehensive research and analysis on the political, economic, social and technological environment in Hong Kong.
The research and analysis is then used to evaluate the market for potential in pet grooming service. “Hong Kong is such a cramped place that it is surprising to learn that we have hundreds of thousands of dogs sharing our city with us”, according to South China Morning Post (2006, p. 14).
Nonetheless, due to the desire for more sophisticated pet products including pet grooming services, the pet industry in Hong Kong has been flourishing despite the already saturated market for pets. Furthermore many younger couples rather keep a pet instead of having children. Pets are being treated like human beings and therefore as members of a family.
