Will the industry suffer from shrinking demands in the economic downturn or will it continue to thrive thanks to the emergence of new business models such as E-commerce?

He also showed the supply chain logistics across different sectors. Finally, he gave an analysis of the development trend and investment opportunities in the near future.
