Oxygen concentrator exports are booming, and some companies have suspended accepting orders

In recent times, the topic that often dominates hot searches has shifted from the epidemic in the United States to the epidemic in India. News such as "Two new coronavirus patients in India share a hospital bed", "India's funeral industry almost collapsed under the epidemic", and "An Indian man killed his wife who was infected with the new coronavirus and then jumped off a building to commit suicide" are all heartbreaking.

According to data released by the Indian Ministry of Health on the 27th, India has had more than 300,000 newly confirmed cases for six consecutive days. Currently, India has more than 17.63 million confirmed cases and more than 190,000 deaths.

The epidemic in India continues to worsen, and medical resources are in short supply. The price of oxygen on the black market in India has risen more than 10 times . Zhang Wenhong also mentioned that what India needs most at present is oxygen, which is better than any medicine and can reduce the death rate of young patients.

Recently, China has airlifted 800 oxygen concentrators to India, and will deliver another 10,000 within a week. Oxygen concentrators are a type of machine that produces oxygen. They use air separation technology to separate nitrogen from oxygen in the air, and ultimately produce high-concentration oxygen.

From the Google Trends in the past 30 days, it can be found that since mid-April, the search volume of " oxygen concentrator " in India has continued to soar, and the search volume of portable oxygen concentrators has increased by 60%.

It is reported that Chinese medical equipment suppliers have currently received orders for at least 25,000 oxygen generators from India and will urgently supply the required oxygen-generating equipment to India.

The editor learned from CGTN that a company in Jiangsu recently received a large number of oxygen concentrator orders from India. The orders from India are urgent and fast, and workers need to work overtime to complete the orders. The company has also set up an emergency response team to be responsible for Indian business.

Some people also reported on Weibo that their Indian customers needed to import a large number of oxygen machines and were urgently looking for manufacturers of oxygen machines; another company said that all its oxygen generators had been ordered and it would not accept new orders for the time being .

The hot demand for oxygen concentrators is evident, but some "clear-headed" sellers have more issues to consider. For example, some sellers have always kept a distance from Indian business and will not consider orders that do not pay 100% of the full amount.

Some sellers also associated the popularity of oxygen concentrators with the mask boom during last year's epidemic. At the beginning, many sellers did make a lot of money from the mask business, but the subsequent account suspension, fund freezing and many other situations also taught the sellers a painful lesson.
