Big news! The "mask mandatory order" in Europe and the United States has taken effect, and the mask peak is coming!

Federal government supports extension of mask mandate

In response to local officials' calls to cancel regulations requiring people to wear masks when riding public transportation and shopping in malls, the German federal government said on July 6 that it supported the extension of the "mask mandatory order."

The implementation of "mask mandatory orders" in various countries means that the demand for masks is about to surge again.

It is understood that the prices of express delivery by air in Europe and the United States are on the rise, and the prices of air and sea delivery in Canada have been raised. Many logistics companies are unable to determine the final extent of the price increase, but it is worth discussing whether the culprit for the recent increase in air delivery prices is that masks and other epidemic prevention materials have occupied logistics channels.

Since yesterday, logistics providers have been frantically swiping screens to solicit cargo, and have opened a special line for epidemic prevention.

The freight forwarder also said that the demand for masks in Europe has increased, airlines have raised prices, and their company will soon increase prices. Another freight forwarder also said that air freight prices to the United States will continue to rise.

Currently, masks have set off a small climax, and the number of searches on Google by residents of various countries has also increased significantly. According to data from Google Trends, the global search volume for keywords related to masks in July is at a peak "climbing" trend, and its peak is likely to reach the same level as in March and April.

Judging from the current data, the increase in foreign demand will indeed bring benefits to mask sellers, but it may also cause logistics prices to increase again. Sellers must pay attention to obtaining qualified qualifications and be wary of previous lessons.
