Recently, many supermarkets, convenience stores and maternal &child supermarket have start to experience a shortage in imported milk powder, with their shelves often almost empty.

When we asked the reasons behind this shortage, the answer was often related to either not enough production capacity or logistic challenges and problems.”At present, this epidemic has mostly impacted imported products and with the epidemic spreading globally, customs procedures on imported food might take longer. Impacted by the epidemic, also in their own country, many global dairy companies are facing logistic related problems.  On the other side, the epidemic gave a boost to domestic manufacturers, and for the first time the market for domestic milk powder grew rapidly.  Ali data shows that in February, online sales of infant formula milk rose to about 108.30%, reaching 941 million USD.
