Influence of COVID-19 Outbreak on Walker Boot Industry Development

The raging COVID-19 has plunged the global economic environment into depression. The influence of COVID-19 on walker boot industry will involve all major links and entities in the industrial chain. The management efficiency of the company declined, commuting was hindered, production plans were hindered, and the company's development strategy and marketing methods were forced to adjust. In addition, during the COVID-19 period, the logistics speed slowed down or even stopped, and the supply of raw materials for walker boot production was tight. The company's production is limited to some extent, and the production of related enterprises in the hardest hit areas is greatly affected. After the epidemic is over, it will also face the financial pressure of rising costs caused by the shortage of raw materials.

Marketing channel sales will be affected differently. The COVID-19 epidemic has led to a decline in offline passenger flow, highlighting the advantages of e-commerce companies. The offline retail channel encountered great challenges during the COVID-19 outbreak. Passenger flow dropped sharply, and sales volume was also affected. At the same time, the sales of official website sales and e-commerce will increase during this period.
