Since July 20, the spreading chain of the epidemic at Nanjing Airport has continued to extend. As of 18:00 on August 1, 310 people have been infected, involving 11 provinces and 26 cities. Nowadays, masks have become a must-have item for people to travel.

As the main anti-epidemic material, the supply of masks was tight when the epidemic first appeared last year, and there was even a situation where “one mask is hard to find”, which also triggered a series of measures such as purchase restrictions and appointment purchases of masks. With the subsequent gradual increase in production, this crisis was resolved.

After the outbreak last year, a series of measures such as regulation and price cuts also brought the industry to a short-term cooling. In the current situation of repeated epidemics, can my country's mask industry support the demand for epidemic prevention?

According to the company's data, as of August 1 this year, a total of 480,000 mask-related companies have been added across the country, of which 444,000 are active and surviving. In 2020, a total of 182,000 registered companies, a year-on-year increase of 607.7%, the highest in the past ten years. In the first half of 2021, 107,000 new mask companies will be added, which means that on average, about 590 new mask companies will be added every day in the first half of 2021. In terms of regional distribution, Jiangsu ranked first with nearly 70,000 companies, Zhejiang and Guangdong ranked second and third, with relevant existing companies above 50,000.

In 2020, the number of registrations of mask companies increased sharply, with a total of 182,000 new ones in the whole year, a year-on-year increase of 607.7%.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic last year, masks have gradually become a necessity for people to travel. All major shopping malls, stations and other crowded places are required to wear it. At the beginning of last year, during the epidemic, the phenomenon of "a cover is hard to find" also appeared. In this context, the number of registrations of related companies has also achieved a sharp increase. According to the company's data, the number of new registrations of mask-related companies from 2010 to 2019 has shown a steady growth trend. In 2020, it will increase sharply, adding 182,000 new companies, an increase of 607.7% year-on-year.

After February 2020, my country's mask companies have registered more than 10,000 in 16 months.

Judging from the relevant months, before January 2020, the registration volume of mask-related companies has increased steadily, hovering around 2,000. The number of registrations began to surge in February 2020, reaching more than 4,600, and the number of registrations reached 39,000 in March, the highest in history. It is worth noting that from February 2020 until now, except for February 2021, the monthly registration volume of mask companies in my country has been higher than 10,000.

In the first half of this year, about 590 new mask-related companies were added every day on average.

In the first half of this year, a total of 107,000 mask-related companies were added, up from 91,000 in the same period last year and a year-on-year increase of 16.8%. If converted into days, an average of 590 mask-related companies will be added every day. Except for April, the number of registrations in each month of the first half of this year was higher than that of last year.

Jiangsu ranks first with 70,000 homes, followed by Zhejiang and Guangdong respectively.

In terms of geographical distribution, newly registered mask companies are mainly distributed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shandong, Fujian and other places. Jiangsu ranks first with nearly 70,000 companies, Zhejiang and Guangdong rank second and third, and related existing companies are all in 5 More than 10,000.

In terms of registered capital, 49% of companies have registered capital of less than 1 million, 31% of companies have registered capital of 1 to 5 million, 18% of companies have registered capital of 5 to 50 million, and 2% of companies have registered capital of less than 1 million. More than 50 million.

The transformation of masks from "medical supplies" to "life necessities" is also reflected in the crazy expansion of the industry in the past year or so. The painful price brought by the epidemic will also make people pay more attention to the preciousness of life. With the normalization of epidemic prevention, personal protection has become a living habit of the Chinese people.

Although the scenario of "a mask is hard to find" may not happen again, it is foreseeable that the demand for masks will become a rigid demand for people's daily needs. The enthusiasm of industry development will still not be cooled in a short period of time.
