Abstract

The outbreak of the novel coronary pneumonia outbreak at the end of 2019 caused a huge impact on the world economy. This paper focuses on the impact of the outbreak on the industrial supply chain, analysing the impact of the outbreak on its supply chain from three aspects: agriculture, manufacturing, and food and beverage, respectively. The results of the study found that agriculture was least affected by the epidemic compared to the manufacturing and catering industries, while the development of the manufacturing supply chain was severely constrained by the unstable logistics. Meanwhile, for the catering industry, the implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures such as city closures, restrictions on going out and restrictions on holding gathering events exposed the catering business to certain bankruptcy risks. By studying the magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 on the industrial supply chain, it has practical implications for the government to develop new policies that can help restore the economy and effectively prevent the epidemic.
