The Winners And Losers In Covid-19 Pandemic

-

As we move on to adjust to life with coronavirus around us, we realize that paradigm shifts and lifestyle changes are inevitable. Almost no economy, industry or business that is not affected by these shifts and changes. The good news is that not everyone loses, there are some winners who thrive. The bad news is we do not know if the losers will see light at the end of the tunnel any time soon. The list below by no means is comprehensive but is merely pointing out the most affected industry sectors.

The Biggest Winners

E-commerce
- Demand and supply of goods and services offered online will increase

Logistics
- More goods and services will rely on delivery services

Pharmaceuticals
- In times of medical crisis, pharmaceutical industry provides medical supplies, cure and vaccine needed

Virtual Meeting Room
- As “working from home” becomes the new norm, video-conferencing becomes the new routine

Online Education
- The loss of time and money suffered by both education institutions and students will force them to depend more on online education

Online entertainment
- Driven by physical and social distancing, online gaming and movies will be the main source of entertainment

The Biggest Losers

Airlines
- Business and leisure travelers will only resume traveling when their confidence is back

Tourism & Leisure
- Hotels, cruises, cinemas will take time to recover

Property
- Commercial property especially office buildings will be affected as companies look for more efficient arrangement such as Serviced Office, Coworking Space or Virtual Office
- Urban residential property will see lower demand as working remotely becomes more popular

Nobody anticipates the coronavirus and the crisis it is causing. Successful entrepreneurs are those who are forward looking, anticipate changes and embrace challenges. They are innovators, risk takers who emerge as winners. Others live in the past, hoping that nothing will change, so they get to stay in their comfort zone. They are outdated, wishful thinkers who end up being the losers.

The pandemic has shown all of us that the world is constantly and rapidly changing. To survive, we have to adapt. To thrive, we have to conquer. Winner or loser, the choice is ours. As the lyrics from the Swedish band ABBA from the 70’s say it so matter-of-factly: “The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall.”

Covid-19: Yang Maju dan Yang Terpuruk

Saat kita beralih ke kehidupan dengan virus korona di sekitar kita, kita menyadari bahwa pergeseran paradigma dan perubahan gaya hidup tidak bisa dihindari. Hampir tidak ada ekonomi, industri atau bisnis yang tidak terpengaruhi oleh pergeseran dan perubahan ini. Kabar baiknya walau banyak yang terpuruk, ada juga yang melaju pesat. Berita buruknya kita tidak tahu apakah yang terpuruk akan bangkit dalam waktu dekat. Berikut adalah daftar singkat dari sektor yang maju dan yang terpuruk.

Sektor Yang Maju

E-commerce
- Permintaan dan penawaran atas barang dan jasa yang dilakukan secara online akan meningkat terus

Logistik
- Akan lebih banyak lagi barang dan jasa yang akan tergantung pada jasa pengiriman

Industri Farmasi
- Pada saat krisis medis, industri farmasi sangat dibutuhkan dalam penyediaan pasokan medis, obat-obatan dan vaksin yang dibutuhkan

Penyedia Jasa Aplikasi Virtual Meeting
- Sejalan dengan norma baru "bekerja dari rumah", konferensi video juga sudah menjadi rutinitas sehari-hari

Penyedia Jasa Pendidikan Online
- Hilangnya waktu dan uang yang disebabkan lockdown membuat lembaga pendidikan dan siswa menjadi lebih tergantung pada pendidikan online

Penyedia Jasa Hiburan Online
- Didorong oleh jarak fisik dan sosial, game dan film online akan menjadi sumber utama hiburan

Sektor Yang Terpuruk

Maskapai Penerbangan
- Pelancong bisnis dan wisatawan hanya akan terbang jika kepercayaan mereka sudah kembali normal

Industri Pariwisata
- Hotel, kapal pesiar, bioskop akan membutuhkan waktu untuk pulih

Properti
- Properti komersial terutama gedung perkantoran akan terpengaruh karena perusahaan akan mencari cara berkantor yang lebih efisien seperti Serviced Office, Coworking Space atau Virtual Office
- Properti perumahan di kota besar akan mengalami penurunan permintaan karena bekerja jarak jauh mulai menjadi tren saat ini
Siapapun tidak pernah ada yang mengantisipasi kedatangan virus korona dan krisis yang ditimbulkannya. Pengusaha sukses adalah mereka yang bisa melihat jauh depan, berani menghadapi tantangan, dan yang mencari jalan untuk mengatasinya. Mereka adalah inovator, pengambil risiko yang akhirnya keluar sebagai pemenang. Sedangkan mereka yang tidak berpikiran jauh kedepan berharap dunia tidak akan berubah sehingga mereka bisa tetap tinggal di zona nyaman mereka. Mereka hanya bisa berangan-angan dan akhirnya tersingkir dan jatuh.

Pandemi telah menunjukkan kepada kita semua bahwa dunia terus berubah dengan cepat. Untuk bertahan hidup, kita harus beradaptasi. Untuk melaju pesat, kita harus menaklukkan. Menang atau kalah, pilihan ada di tangan kita. Seperti lirik sebuah lagu dari band Swedia ABBA dari tahun 70-an: "The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall." (Sang pemenang mendapatkan segalanya, yang kalah harus jatuh).
