With COVID-19 wreaking havoc all over the world, from the beginning of 2020, all industries around the world are largely affected. This has led to significant sales decline for many consumer goods. Also due to the impact of the epidemic, the global demand for protective products and disinfection products has increased sharply in a short time.

Medical and protective materials are in short supply

COVID-19 has a route of transmission similar to the influenza virus, but has stronger infection ability and destructive power than the influenza virus. And at present, there is no highly effective treatment or drug for this new type of viral disease. Therefore, protective equipment such as masks, protective clothing, goggles, and gloves have become the most effective equipment for people to resist COVID-19. And they have become daily necessities that people in all regions need to store these days. The sudden growth in medical and daily demand has exceeded the world's conventional production capacity, and there is now reserves shortage in the global market.

At present, manufacturers around the world are making every effort to improve the production capacity for items, such as masks, in order to meet the market demand in this special period.

Global sales of disinfection products rose significantly

Because of the epidemic, disinfection products have become the best-selling products besides medical masks and goggles.

During this period, in addition to strengthening the protection of the respiratory tract when going out, people also began to pay more attention to daily items deep cleaning. People do more disinfection for daily used items, to avoid bringing the virus home, and to reuse the protective items after disinfection in case of shortage. On the global online retail platforms led by Amazon and Taobao, sales of germicidal hand sanitizer and various household disinfector and air sterilizer have increased significantly in a short time, reaching an increase of more than 300% in the same period last year. Among all kinds of disinfection equipment, the sales growth of ultraviolet disinfection products with high germicidal efficiency and non-toxic residues is particularly prominent. Take the smartphone UV sanitizer on Amazon for example, it belongs to minority products in the past, with stable sales, but in the past two months, all electric phone sanitizers have been sold out one after another. A similar situation is also occurring in professional UV air disinfection equipment, general-purpose UV disinfection box and other electric steriliser set.

Experts predict that due to COVID-19's possible influence for a long time, the sales increase of UV disinfection products will also last long.

ATYOU Health Tech is a professional manufacturer and wholesaler of disinfection equipment and one of the earliest factories in China to resume work. At present, ATYOU Health Tech has entered the normal production state, and continues to provide customers with all kinds of disinfection equipment.
