"Toy rentals" are booming! One more trade added to the 360 professions

Taoyuan Mayor Cheng Wen-tsan becomes a re-examination of Taoyuan Aerotropolis

Kids love playing with toys, and every parent knows it! A survey shows that Taiwan's annual domestic sales of infant and toddler toys amount to about 10 billion New Taiwan dollars, but most well-known brand toys are "priced sky-high," which has given rise to the emerging business opportunity of "toy rentals."

Search "toy rentals" on an auction website, and more than three thousand toys available for rent pop up right away, showing just how big the business opportunity is. Among them, the hugely popular bouncy swing requires a wait of at least ten months to rent. A frugal mother only needs to spend one-tenth of the toy's original price to let her little darling play with a different toy every month, no matter how long the wait.
