Abstract

The spread of COVID-19 pandemic had a widely impact on the economic development of Wuhan. Due to the mode of supply and delivery, service trade is vulnerable to the pandemic. With the help of information technology, this paper analyses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the development of service trade in Wuhan by comparing the development of major industries in Wuhan before and after the pandemic. Data shows that COVID-19 pandemic had a greater negative impact on the traditional service trade in Wuhan, less negative impact on emerging areas, and less overall impact. In addition, computer and information technology services had become new growth forces. Accordingly, this paper puts forward suggestions for promoting the development of Wuhan’s service trade.
