Abstract

The outbreak of COVID-19 in January 2020 continues to this day and has significantly changed people's production and living habits. Many companies have seen dramatic changes in the way they produce, how they operate and how they sell. The COVID-19 has also disrupted the supply chains of many industries and companies, causing huge losses. According to statistics from the World Trade Organisation, world trade fell by 13% - 32% in 2020. Xiaomi mobile phones have developed as a representative of smartphones for several years, building an excellent brand image and rapidly growing sales, taking a large part of the market share in China's smartphone market with the strategic advantage of a low-key, high-end smartphone. This article analyses and compares the changes in Xia-omi's mobile phone supply chain based on the changes before and after the epidemic, and concludes with a summary. The research topic of this paper is the impact of the Xin Guan epidemic on Xiaomi's mobile phone supply chain. It is divided into five aspects, namely parts supply, procurement management, supply chain production resumption, supply chain logistics and supply chain market. The main sources of data are the National Bureau of Statistics and the China Academy of Communications.
