A new industry "group buying" was born during the closure of the Shanghai epidemic. What is the future prospect of this industry?

The epidemic situation in Shanghai these two days is in a very serious stage. Although relevant departments actively take corresponding measures to ensure that the epidemic will not spread, the life of Shanghai residents is often greatly restricted. As we all know, during the epidemic prevention and control in Shanghai, a new industry was born to ensure the daily needs of residents? Group purchase? As we all know, group buying has indeed solved the main problems of many residents to a certain extent. So many netizens have raised questions: What is the future prospect of this industry?

In my cognition, I think the future prospect of the group buying industry is not optimistic. Because? Group purchase? Initially, due to the shortage of resources during the epidemic prevention and control period, such an industry was formed independently. Its main purpose is to gather people who need some vegetables or daily necessities in a certain area to buy an item. Because of the huge quantity, merchants can deliver goods directly, which is the significance of group buying. However, after the local epidemic was controlled, all the communities were unsealed, so the significance of this group purchase no longer existed. After all, at that time, everyone had the ability to go to the supermarket spontaneously to buy what they needed, so there was no substantial demand for group buying.

Therefore, we can also feel that group buying is often just an industry that caters to people's needs in the epidemic prevention and control stage, and it will not bring any help to people's real life in the future. The goods will not even be cheap because of the group buying price, so I think it has no development prospects. Of course, this is just my one-sided view. After all, the convenience brought by group buying during the epidemic period is obvious to all. Even to a certain extent, many people have realized the advantages of group buying. Perhaps in the future, group buying will shift from scale to the development of other industries, which is also unknown to us.
