本周我们分析疫情对化妆品行业的影响。回顾2003 年非典时期，从数据上看，与其他可选消费品相比，非典时期化妆品表现相对较为稳定，5 月受疫情影响明显。4、5 月份化妆品零售额分别同比增长20.3%、14.6%，增速均同比有所提升。但5 月份增速在全年排名倒数第二。2004 年5 年受益疫情低基数，化妆品增速达37.6%，为2001 年以来单月最高，明显看出疫情对化妆品月度零售带来错位影响。我们认为一方面是行业自身发展节奏的体现，本土品牌密集成立期+CS 开始黄金十年，共同瞄准中低线城市消费升级。另一方面化妆品并非全部受损，部分品类如个人清洁、消毒类产品在疫情中利好，洗护类产品存在一定刚性。

自2018 年11 月开始，化工行业进入新一轮的去库存周期，2019 年全年化工行业产成品存货同比下降明显。开工率和产销方面，化工行业开工率自2018 年年底筑底后缓慢回升，产销持续维持高位。需求端，2019 年受经济增速回落、中美关系变化等因素影响，需求端持续疲软，化工品价格普遍大幅下滑。而年底开始，化工行业出口交货值与PPI同比增速均出现企稳回升趋势，叠加大部分化工产品价格均处于历史低位，我们认为未来化工行业周期下行空间有限，行业有望迎来反转。

PVC compounds provide cost benefit and per pound of PVC in small diameter pressure water pipes and fittings, over other materials, such as copper, steel or high-performance cross-linked polyethylene (PEX). Other than being cost-intensive, copper, steel or PEX are also expensive to install than PVC pipes. In these systems, the cost of installation can be as much as ten times the cost of the pipe itself, so even small differences in the ease of installation can result in large differences in the total cost of using a substitute material instead of PVC. PVC pipe holds a commanding share in large diameter pressure water and sanitary sewer pipe because of its low cost, ease of installation, long and reliable service life, and its low replacement and maintenance cost. Ductile iron and concrete are the major substitutes in these applications, and their installation costs are higher, particularly for concrete since many more pipe joints are required. Replacement and repair costs are much higher for concrete than for PVC pipe. Additional costs are also imposed by the loss of water, due to main breaks and pumping costs, which may be higher for these surrogate materials. The higher installation cost for concrete pipe also contributes to the substitution cost for PVC in storm sewers. Therefore, PVC offers a much better cost-saving option for the aforementioned applications, both in terms of material and installation.

Increase in investments and construction activities in the residential and infrastructure sector is the primary driver for the growth of the Indonesian construction sector. Foreign direct investments in the country are expected to drive the growth of the Indonesian real estate sector. The country has eased the regulations by amending the law on public-private partnerships and passing a new land acquisition law, to make the infrastructure sector more investor-friendly. The Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Information Technology is encouraging the 100 Smart City Movement. This, in turn, is expected to propel many innovative real estate developments in the coming years. New real estate projects in the country have driven the Indonesian property sector in the past few years. The architectural layout of the capital city, Jakarta, has attracted various investors from around the world.

Historically, there have been instances of men and women using hair wigs and extensions for several purposes including trying out different hairstyles, using colored hair to change their appearance, and covering bald patches of the head.

From invisible effects such as general weakness, reduced stamina, sleep problems, and hectic lifestyles can cause several hair problems. Alopecia, receding hairline, and pattern baldness are more common in men while hair thinning is more common among women.

Superabsorbent polymers are used as an absorbent, as they can absorb up to 300 times of their weight in aqueous fluids. Owing to characteristics, such as protecting the skin against drying, irritation, and infections, the largest use of superabsorbent polymers is in personal hygiene products, which include feminine hygiene products, diapers, and adult incontinence products. The governments in different countries are continuously collaborating with various NGOs, media center, and various companies, to educate people about personal hygiene management. The motive behind these initiatives is to keep the environment cleaner and safer and to avoid the spread of various diseases. According to the World Health Organization, every year, around 15 million babies are born in the world and this number is increasing. With the rising infant born rate and increasing awareness toward hygiene of a baby, the demand for superabsorbent polymers is increasing.

Cold chain is a temperature-controlled supply chain with uninterrupted storage and distribution activities. Cold chains maintain a given temperature range. The cold chain market operations that are meant to ensure and extend the shelf life of fresh agricultural produce, seafood, frozen food, photographic film, chemicals, and pharmaceutical drugs are expected to rapidly increase. This rapid increase is due to the growing demand from the consumers resulting from the changing lifestyles and growing advanced technologies.  For instance, the global demand for frozen food has continued to increase, driven by the convenience for consumers. The meat segment has accounted for the largest share of the frozen food market, followed by frozen fruits, vegetables, etc.  With the increasing demand for frozen food products and the presence of highly competitive market with low margins, most of the food processors, distributors, and retailers are shifting from the manually operated obsolete facilities to the high bay deep-freeze warehouses where refrigerants are widely employed.  Moreover, the expansion of food retail chains by the multinational companies and the growth in international trade (due to trade liberalization) have led to an increase in the demand for the cold chain processes, which in turn, increase the demand for refrigerants worldwide.
