Indeed, according to figures from the Manpower Planning Department of the Council for Economic Planning and Development, in 35 years time the number of the dying will have risen from the current 130,000 per year to 270,000 a year, more than doubling. This is also to say that over-the-counter sales in the funeral market will surpass the NT $ 100 billion mark, representing tantalizing potential.
的確，根據經建會人力規劃處的預估，台灣在三十五年後的二○三六年，每年死亡人數將由現在的十三萬，增加到二十七萬，將增加一倍之多，也就是殯葬市場檯面上的營業額將超過一千億元，市場的潛力十分引人。
