[Explanation] Approaching the end of the year is the peak period of demand for housekeeping services each year.
However, it is still in the period of epidemic prevention and control, and another epidemic has occurred in Beijing.
How about the demand in the domestic market in Beijing at the end of the year
On December 30, a person in charge of a housekeeping company in Beijing told reporters that, judging from the current appointment situation, the market demand for housekeeping services during the early Spring Festival did not decrease but increased compared with the same period last year.

It may be due to the epidemic, which suppressed the market demand for housekeeping services in the first half of the year. We see that it should have risen by close to 10% to 15% over the same period last year.
At present, the rigid demand for services such as one old and one small is the main one, and the general housework category has slightly decreased compared with the same period in previous years.
For some such high temperature disinfection of air-conditioning appliances, the demand in these areas is equivalent to an increase.
[Explanation] A person in charge of the housekeeping service platform said that in addition to increasing demand for disinfection services, customers' requirements for service personnel are also increasing.

Because the epidemic may promote the growth of demand for more new housekeeping services, such as disinfection and cleaning, high-temperature disinfection, deep household cleaning, and curtain cleaning.
For service personnel, the requirements of users will be higher, and more attention will be paid to the health of service personnel.
For example, whether the body temperature is normal, whether you wear a mask, etc.
We also require domestic service staff in Beijing to do nucleic acid testing for all staff before they can accept orders on the platform.
[Explanation] The Spring Festival is approaching. With the departure of domestic service personnel, domestic labor will also enter a period of shortage.
Zhang Musen said that affected by the epidemic, the number of domestic service personnel staying in Beijing during the Spring Festival this year will increase over previous years.

Every year, we basically have a ratio of about 50% to 60% of domestic helpers staying in Beijing to provide services. This year, as a whole, what we now understand should be slightly higher than in previous years.
The main reason is the prevention and control of the epidemic. Many domestic helpers tend to reduce inter-provincial mobility this year.
[Explanation] Mu Lijie, president of the Beijing Housekeeping Service Association, said that although some housekeeping staff voluntarily stay in Beijing, overall, housekeeping services may still be in short supply during the Spring Festival.
She recommends that everyone, if there is a need for housekeeping services, make an appointment and prepare early.

It is almost the Spring Festival, and the supply of Beijing (housekeeping service personnel) will be reduced by about 30% to 40%, and the price must be increased appropriately.
The Housekeeping Association also called on housekeeping companies to try to send more housekeeping attendants from other places before the year.
But as far as the market is concerned, the current supply of domestic helpers will definitely decrease at the end of the Spring Festival.
I think everyone must do their best to cooperate with the current housekeeping staff before the Spring Festival, and be relatively stable.
