December 4th was Black Friday on the French site. Just as the sellers were preparing to flood the market with orders, they encountered a riot. On December 5, marches and demonstrations were held in many cities in France . Police and demonstrators clashed at some of the demonstration sites, and 95 demonstrators were arrested. More than 90 demonstrations were held in many cities in France, including Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Lille, etc., to oppose the government's recently proposed "Comprehensive Security Law" bill. The demonstrators demanded that the government delete Article 24 and other contents of the "Comprehensive Security Law" bill. According to statistics from the French Ministry of the Interior, more than 50,000 people participated in demonstrations across France that day, including about 5,000 in Paris. The Paris Police Department said that 400 to 500 looters infiltrated the parade, smashed the windows of some businesses and banks along the street, and burned some vehicles. In the afternoon, a large number of vandals were dispatched in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. From the scene, it can be seen that the vandals threw steel bars at the police. 48 police officers were injured that day. Based on this, this large-scale protest was launched in 70 cities across France, with a total of about 130,000 French people participating . The cause of the incident was to protect the French police to the greatest extent. Recently, the Macron government introduced a security bill policy, which prohibits people from filming police officers on duty, otherwise they will face one year in prison and a fine of tens of thousands of euros. Who can bear this? When Europe was under lockdown, European customers canceled their orders, leaving a large amount of unprocessed inventory. We finally cleared out the inventory during Black Friday, but this happened. Logistics will definitely be affected. The sellers on the French site are really miserable. However, the continued outbreak of the epidemic in Europe has also boosted a wave of orders from Chinese sellers. According to data from eBay, the sales performance of "Black Friday and Cyber Monday" in 2020 showed that electronic and home gardening products from Chinese sellers were very popular in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Italy and Spain. The sales of electronic communication equipment from Chinese sellers ranked among the top five in sales of all product categories on eBay Germany and the United Kingdom. The Roborock S5 MAX, a Chinese brand, sold nearly 19,000 units on eBay Germany, France, Italy and Spain. On eBay Germany, Roborock's sales doubled compared to last year's Black Friday. 11,000 units of the robot vacuum cleaner were sold out within 18 hours of its launch on the German site, and sales in Italy increased by more than 1,700% . The most popular items on eBay UK are toys, with a Lego Harry Potter Hedwig sold every 11 seconds and a Nintendo Switch sold every 4 seconds , a 3,000% increase from last year.
In addition, Europe and the United States have entered the year-end holiday season. As Christmas is approaching, a large number of consumers choose to purchase Christmas-related items during the "Black Friday and Online Monday" shopping event. From Christmas tree decoration balls, Christmas light strings, to Christmas pajamas, children's gifts, etc., sales have reached a peak. On eBay UK, Chinese sellers' sales of dried flowers and artificial flowers increased by 120% compared with the same period last year, and sales of Christmas tree decoration light strips increased by 70% . Sales of decorative accessories such as rhinestones and rhinestones increased by 300% on the US site. As for the United States and Japan, epidemic prevention supplies such as alcohol and masks may once again become hot-selling items. The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States increased by 1 million in 5 days, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 15 million, breaking the historical high, with an average of more than 2,000 deaths per day. To this end, on December 3rd local time, Biden said in an interview that he would urge all Americans to wear masks for 100 days from the first day of his inauguration . At the same time, Biden said that he would issue a long-term order requiring masks to be worn in places where he has the power to stipulate, such as federal government buildings or interstate airplanes and buses.
With Americans being forced to wear masks, it is expected that masks and other epidemic prevention supplies will usher in a new peak in demand. Japan is suffering from the third wave of the epidemic . In the past month, the number of severe COVID-19 patients in Japan has almost doubled. On December 5 , the number of severe COVID-19 cases in Japan reached 520 , far exceeding the 328 cases when the "state of emergency declaration" was issued at the peak of the epidemic. Affected by this, people pay more attention to epidemic prevention products , and more Japanese consumers search for epidemic prevention related products on Amazon. The search volume for products such as alcohol, disinfectants and masks on Amazon has increased significantly. Alcohol disinfectant, search volume increased by 1608%; Alcohol gel, search volume increased by 1025%; Alcohol disinfectant tablets, search volume increased by 307%; Alcohol spray, search volume increased by 235%; Alcohol stoves, up 49%. Among mask products, the demand for fashionable masks has increased, and the search volume of sports masks has increased the most; white masks have always been the standard masks, but more and more consumers are wearing colored masks recently; among various masks such as branded masks and cloth masks, cold masks that easily get hot are very popular. The specific search volume growth data is as follows: Sports masks , search volume increased by 26,900% ; Cold-sensing masks, search volume increased by 8,400%; Skin-friendly masks, search volume increased by 1329%; Silk masks, search volume increased by 1233%; Cloth masks: searches increased by 100%. In addition, the search volume for ozone generators, which have better epidemic prevention effects, has also increased significantly: Ozone generators, up 388%; Air purifiers, with searches up 125%. Because of the epidemic, things that were popular at the beginning of the year are likely to be popular again at the end of the year, which deserves more attention from sellers.
