Online shopping counterattack
With the stay-at-home model since the epidemic, "three meals a day" must be cooked at home. On the one hand, it is a hard demand; on the other hand, following the tutorials on major food apps such as "Go to the Kitchen" and making delicious food to share with friends is also a good way to entertain yourself while living at home. The whole nation has an unprecedented love for the kitchen, and the demand for vegetables, meat, eggs, rice, flour, oil and other foods, especially vegetables, has exploded.
Consumption patterns have also undergone great changes, with mobile phone orders and zero-contact purchasing methods becoming the first choice. Taking Wal-Mart's Dalian area as an example, in the first week after the Spring Festival compared with the week before the Spring Festival, the growth of "Walmart Home" fresh food orders exceeded 120%; while the order volume during the Spring Festival was 15 times that of the same period last year.
Although online shopping is very convenient, only a few white-collar workers who go out early and come back late have experienced this way of consumption. Most citizens, especially middle-aged and elderly people, are still willing to visit traditional vegetable markets. First, you can see it directly and choose fresh dishes; second, you save money and don’t need to pay logistics fees.
