Before it was ibuprofen, antigens, etc., and now the oximeter has become the focus of the entire market. Compared with the previous drugs, the oximeter is a niche medical device product, and there was little demand in the past. Nowadays, a large amount of demand in a short period of time has caused panic buying, and product prices have also risen rapidly.

Some stores selling oximeters are ridiculously expensive. Regarding the doubts about the price in the society, the sellers say that the price of the manufacturer has increased, and the manufacturer said that the price of raw materials, logistics, and labor has increased, which seems to be reasonable. It seems that the manufacturer cannot be blamed for the price increase, because the manufacturer can only control the production end, upstream raw materials, specific sales middlemen and third-party sales online stores, and it is also true that it has no way to control the market price.

From the current point of view, there is no way to effectively change the demand and shortage of oximeters in a short period of time. For manufacturers, after all, such a short-term demand, if the production capacity is expanded, they may worry about the problem of overcapacity in the future. So how to solve the problems of shortage of oximeters and rising prices in the face of the wind, I am afraid that it still depends on the relevant government management departments to come forward to supervise and guide. Previously, free medicines were distributed in the community, prices were suppressed, and it was effective to solve the difficulty of medication, so there should also be a solution to the difficulty of oximeters.
