The first "National Taiwan University and ET Group Summit" was held at the International Conference Hall of National Taiwan University's College of Law on 21st, where ET Group President Wang Linglin said that ET has 10 million members, and many of its TV shopping members are reaching maturity. We hope that through our distribution channels, we can transform the power of Taiwan's biotechnology research and development into the best products for the international market.
The Summit was launched with the theme of "Exploring the Future of Biotechnology and Upgrading Healthy Life" in the post-epidemic era, and invited prestigious professionals from the industry, government and academia, as well as a panel of professors and advisors from NTU. The five-hour marathon discussion showcased the brand's strong ambition and action.
Wang said that the official establishment of the "National University of Taiwan-Taichung Biotechnology and Biomedical Research Centre" in 2021 is a strong collaboration between Taiwan's top research institution and a market-leading retailer, and also demonstrates Easton's determination to enter the biotechnology industry. In the face of the global trend of an ageing population, Taiwan will have 4.06 million people over the age of 65 by 2022 and will enter a super-aged society by 2025, with 20% of the population over the age of 65, all expecting to live a healthier, more beautiful and better quality of life.
In addition, the covid 19 epidemic has brought about huge changes in the lives of people around the world, resulting in 620 million confirmed cases and over 6.5 million deaths. In the post-epidemic era, it has become a long-standing trend to take health-care supplements seriously.
In the post-epidemic era, the emphasis on health and supplementation has become a long-term trend. Wang further pointed out that, in the past, ET Group had devoted itself to the development of channels, and from 2018 onwards, the group has gradually moved into the lower part of the online bureau, including the Natural Beauty shop and production centres on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the ET Pet Store shop, and even the external channels on the shelves, including shrimp skin and live streaming. In addition to the development of the channel, Easton has also taken on the role of research and development of brands, developing a variety of products such as delicious, beautiful, healthy, lifestyle and pet products to build Easton's online and offline lifestyle circle to meet members' needs. This year, the volume of self-operated products will reach $11.2 billion, of which $7.7 billion, or 68%, will be spent on five categories of products: food, beauty, health, lifestyle and pets, and $11.1 billion will be spent on five categories of products next year.
