The mask belongs to the medical consumables, its technical content itself is low, in its production costs, raw materials account for a large proportion of raw materials, including: the outer non-woven fabric, filtering with meltblown cloth, plastic packaging bags, packaging cartons and so on.
The profits of the mask manufacturers are very thin, the manufacturers mainly rely on volume. The ex-factory price of medical ordinary masks is about 9 cents each, close to 10 cents. Goods sent to each pharmacy, you need to add logistics costs and sales costs, in the usual drugstore, each medical mask selling price for an average of about 50 cents.
Influenced by market factors, some of the raw material prices in 2019 are rising very quickly, for example, the market price of meltblown cloth, a special filtration material, was 18,000 yuan/ton in 2018, and the current market price has risen to 29,000 yuan/ton, and even at this price, affected by the factors of the Spring Festival holiday, the market is still very difficult to buy goods.
Production costs accounted for the second largest item is the cost of labor, in recent years, labor costs continue to rise, especially this year, a lot of mask manufacturers temporary overtime production during the Chinese New Year, overtime cost factor caused by the further increase in labor costs. However, the vast majority of production enterprises are able to take the overall situation into account, and actively respond to the government's call to increase production costs, to maintain the basic price does not go up, in order to take practical action to fulfill the social responsibility of enterprises.
Despite the mask producers to find ways to put into production, but China is the first populous country with 1.4 billion people, masks are mostly disposable items, a short burst of such a huge demand, the recent market shortages are inevitable, the best way is to be able to not move to move, borrowing a popular phrase on the Internet: "When can we move, Zhong Nanshan said to move before moving!
