The COVID-19 epidemic has disrupted the global supply chain and affected the economic stability of various countries. Global supply chain is an important force supporting economic globalization. The huge and complex supply chain network connecting countless manufacturing enterprises and service enterprises around the world makes the world economy interweave into an interdependent and integrated organic whole, but it also increases the fragility of the global economy.
In the highly dependent global economic system, any economy, especially the one that is the key link of the global supply chain, will have temporary production suspension or trade restrictions, which will bring external shocks that cannot be underestimated to other economies.
Opportunities brought by the COVID-19 epidemic to the real economy
(a) The demand for protective equipment has surged.
Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus epidemic, consumers have experienced panic, and the demand for sanitary protection products such as masks, disinfectant, protective clothing, ultraviolet lamps and protective gloves has soared, which is a great opportunity for the real economy.
If the major real economy manufacturers can seize the opportunity, adjust their strategies, do a detailed market analysis and consumer preference survey, make reasonable strategic adjustments, and arrange production in a planned and targeted manner, they will be able to preserve their strength and have the opportunity to make huge profits in the hot special economic period of COVID-19.
(2) consumption rebounded during the epidemic suspension period.
When the epidemic situation in COVID-19 was serious, consumers' purchasing power temporarily declined due to the influence of epidemic prevention policies and consumers' panic. However, with the gradual warming of the weather, the research and development of vaccines and drugs in COVID-19 and the government's effective epidemic prevention policies against the COVID-19 epidemic have eased the epidemic situation in COVID-19 and formed a suspension period.
