Introduction
PANDEMIC AND THE NEW TRADE PARADIGM:
Why the Auction Market Is Replete With
Scams, Inferior, Unsafe and Fake Products.
By Siva Yam, CPA, CFA, President
and Paul Nash, Ph.D., Contributing Editor
United States of America-China Chamber of Commerce
[This is the first of two articles that examine the market for personal protective equipment during the pandemic. The second article will look at ways to avoid scams and handle unsafe products.]
The heart of the problem is the unprecedented shock of the pandemic, which we could not imagine and were unprepared for. The sudden surge in demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) has exceeded the supply of products that are essential but so basic and simple with low value and low demand in regular times. At the same time, there has been a sudden surge in manufacturers and middlemen not previously involved in medical supplies. All this in a segment in which there is no global coordination or oversight, and no pre-existing model to manage the supply chain in extraordinary times. Every country is competing against one another. The ultimate losers, of course, are front-line healthcare workers and the general public.
The pandemic has brought out both the best and the worst of people. Many have risked their lives to help others, while many others have used the pandemic as an opportunity for profiteering. Overnight, millions of global traders and factories have emerged to capitalize on one of the most devastating health disasters in recent human history. Many of them have neither the experience nor the contacts in trade or manufacturing, let alone in the medical-supplies field.
Greed and desperation to get essential medical supplies to those in need, has transformed the medical-goods market into the “Wild West.” The traditional trade model has been abandoned. The marketplace has become a highly unregulated “Commodity Exchange” replete with scams, fake, and poor-quality products globally, which have cast a shadow over high-quality supplies. Even the most experienced, savvy, and well-informed sourcing professionals now find themselves in uncharted waters.
For 20 years, our organization has worked with companies in international trade and investment. In the past 60 days, we have assisted U.S. companies and professionals in procuring personal protective equipment, and I am sharing with you my observations and interpretation of that market at present.
