Recently, many industries around the world have been under pressure from rising raw material costs. ChainQuestion、EnergyandCurrency depreciationA series of factors have led to the continuous rise of many raw materials. For example, steel, plastics, etcOiland other important basic raw materials, their shortage and rising costs have exacerbated the production costs of manufacturing and service industries. There are many reasons for the cost of raw materials, and some are due toInternational**The link encountered obstacles, some of which were due toChainInterrupt. This issue is not only domesticChain, also involved:InternationalbetweenChain。Due toChainReceivedPandemicThere has been a lag in production and transportation around the world, which is also an important reason for the loss of raw materials.
At the same time, some important raw materials are also related toInternationalPoliticswithEconomyThe situation is related to the change. Many of the raw materials of the ** country facedPoliticswithEconomyUncertainty, which makes the ** of raw materials even more unstable. Especially in the past year, it has been happening on a global scalePoliticsConflicts and disputes have caused uncertainty in the raw material market and increased the pressure on price increases.
At the same time,EnergyIt is also an important reason for the rising cost of raw materials. OilAs the main oneEnergyIt will directly affect the production costs of many industries. Especially on a global scale, some of the main onesOiloutput of the countryPoliticswithEconomyThe situation is unstable, leading toOil** Limited, which in turn pushes upOil**。This is also an important factor for many raw materials.
In response to the problem of raw material cost**, some companies have to take some measures to deal with it, such as finding alternative raw materials, improving production efficiency, and optimizationChainWait. However, these measures do not solve the problem at the root of the problem, because the cost of raw materials** is a global problem that is neededInternationalSociety works together to find a solution.
Since last year,Pandemicto the globeChainand production capacity has had a huge impact. Some factories due toPandemicAnd had to stop work, resulting in a shortage of goods. In particular, some labor-intensive industries, such as textiles, footwear, etc., are affectedPandemicThe impact is even more pronounced. Most of the labor force in these industries comes from the countryside, but due toPandemicDue to the need for prevention and control, they were unable to increase their labor, and in some areas there was even a loss of labor. This has also led to a lack of capacity and a shortage of goods, which has pushed up the market.
In addition,PandemicDuring this period, some enterprises in order to copeChaindisruptions, having to resort to more expensive procurement and production methods. For example, some companies have to choose a farther source or a more expensive mode of transportation in order to ensure the quality of raw materials. This increases the cost of the business, which in turn pushes up the ** of the goods. For consumers, this means paying more for the same goods**.
PandemicDuring this period, people's consumption habits have undergone some changes. On the one hand, some people have reduced their spending on travel, dining, entertainment activities, etc., and have increased their shopping and familyDecorationand so on.

On the other hand, due to the severe impact on tourism, tickets for some scenic spots, tourist attractions, etc. have also appeared. This is because travel demand continues to decline, and attractions have had to make up for their losses by increasing ticket prices** in order to stay operational and profitable. This also leads to the ** of the tickets.
Changes in demand have had an impact not only on goods, but also on services. For example,PandemicDuring this period, many people began to increase their demand for health care and medical services. This has led to some medical services such as health check-upsMedicinesfees, etc.
