In Tmall, Jingdong, Suning and other business platform, search masks merchandise is no longer "sold out" or "no goods". For example, when a reporter searches the Jingdong platform for "Mask", he can buy the N95 mask of the nearby hundred Kang dispensary, and deliver it to the fastest 1 hours after the order is placed. Some big drugstores flagship stores also sell N90 and N95 masks. However, medical disposable masks are still being sold on a daily booking rush.

In addition to online platforms, the "hard to get" situation is also eased.

Mask and raw materials melt blown fabric to expand production

The supply shortage of masks gradually eased, thanks to the increase of mask productivity. According to the data released by the national development and Reform Commission in March 2nd, the daily output of masks in China continued to grow rapidly, and both of them exceeded 100 million. In February 29th, the national masks daily production reached 110 million, with a daily output of 116 million, which was 5.2 times and 12 times of February 1st, further easing the contradiction between the supply and demand of respirators.

In addition to promoting masked enterprises to return to work, the NDRC also fully supports conditional masked masks. At present, many companies are crossing the border to produce masks. According to incomplete statistics, more than 3000 enterprises such as BYD, Sinopec and Foxconn have joined in the production of epidemic prevention materials. Data from the sky eye show that these enterprises have added "mask, protective clothing, disinfectant, thermometer, medical device" and other business scope.

However, at present, the market of mask has not yet fully realized the balance between supply and demand, and many people are also looking forward to further lowering the price of masks. With the return of staff, the shortage of manpower has been alleviated. However, the key raw materials, such as melt masks, which ensure the filtration performance of medical masks and N95 masks, are still in short supply, which has become a bottleneck restricting the expansion of masks.

In order to solve the bottlenecks of raw materials, Sinopec has been building a melted spray production line in Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical Company and Jiangsu Yizheng Chemical Fiber Co., which is urgently needed for cross boundary production. PetroChina is speeding up the construction of meltblown fabric production while producing polypropylene fiber at full capacity.

In addition, the State Administration of Market Supervision recently issued emergency notices to 8 provinces and cities such as Zhejiang and Jiangsu, demanding special investigation on the price of melt blown cloth to ensure price stability.
