We investigated and analyzed the technological landscape of the global pet food industry, focusing on related industries in Korea and abroad. This industry accounts for the largest share of the rapidly growing global pet market. We aimed to identify and develop technologies that can strengthen Korea's position in this market. Our study employed various quantitative methods, including time series analysis, country and applicant analysis, and International Patent Classification (IPC) technology analysis. These analyses allowed us to objectively assess the current technological status, patent application distribution, and technological trends in the pet food industry. Our findings revealed that the United States currently holds the leading position in terms of patent applications within the pet food industry. This suggests that to establish a differentiated competitive edge in this field, it's crucial to develop technologies with high usability and target specific segments within related industries.

The global economy has been very difficult due to the recent impact of COVID-19. Korea is also pushing for strong quarantine policies such as K- quarantine and social distancing, but the economy is hardly recovering. In particular, the economic situation began to change rapidly depending on the export and domestic market, the public's interest in the economy increased, and companies became more sensitive. In order to estimate this rapidly changing economic situation, major advanced countries have also developed models that can periodically monitor the economy at the government level. Through this, by periodically reporting the economic trends, the public and companies can be aware of the economic trends to some extent. This study analyzed the cases of weekly business trends in advanced countries and developed a model of weekly economic activity suitable for Korea. To verify this, indices closely related to the economy such as mobility, industrial activity, face-to-face consumption, and psychology were discovered and estimated. As a result of the study, the weekly economic activity index was judged to be very useful in capturing short-term real economic activity. In the future, in order to secure the robustness and stability of the index and to increase the reflection of reality, model improvement and parameter estimation should be performed regularly.
