First, the value of the commodity itself. As long as COVID-19 has not been completely eradicated, it is very necessary to wear masks, because masks can block most viruses. Although the cost of making masks is not much, some materials that can stop the virus should be added during the epidemic. Therefore, commodity prices may continue to rise. Secondly, there are more people who need help. Basically, every household in the country now has some masks. In an emergency, I will take it out when necessary. At that time, the epidemic just happened, and the price of masks rose to 10 yuan, but the demand was still in short supply.
Second, the relationship between supply and demand of commodities. Generally speaking, it is because he needs this thing that he can raise the price. If the epidemic is completely extinct now, it won't happen again. Bian Xiao thinks that masks are of little significance to everyone. Most people don't need to wear masks except for occasional wind and dust protection. But now this situation is quite special. Everyone needs a mask to protect them. So there is no way to reduce this thing, so the demand increases, so its price also increases.
Thirdly, the number of suppliers of masks has decreased. At first, many people joined the mask manufacturing industry because masks were badly needed to make profits. However, after the epidemic was slowly controlled, more manufacturers made masks, but after the people who bought masks dispersed, there was not so much profit, and the mask manufacturing industry was gone. This also led to the increase in the price of masks when there were no products later.
