So, did the demand for Hospitals just go through the roof? Any explanations? A lot of new players? |

Market demand is crazy at the moment. Shortages weren't this bad in air transport, medical material, etc.
Demand for elementary, high schools and universities are low compared to the high supply, along with most other govt products (except hospitals, some maintenance). |

FMU are at a constant low... my corps have trouble buying this even if I make them do immediate orders... Time to reach the level to build FMU corps myself. Hospital demand is always quite high - maybe someone started a new world war? ;-) Pretty much all the products with demand in the billions are in constant demand with way too little production. |

Demand for just about everything was high for along time. Recent shortages are likely coming from shuttle component corps. |

I'm having trouble keeping supplied, but at least many of my corps are these crucial companies. I went ahead and closed my gov't maintainance companies to get another production plant corp (anyone notice that?!), too much money was being wasted.
Notice the insane medical mat demand never goes down though there are like 3000 corps making it just for hospitals? how many hospitals, which are still seemingly cheap, do we really need? Maybe there is a war... |

medical equipment and materials are used by countries and hospital corps. med equipment corps also use med mats. |

Someone is asset stripping C3s of govt products and selling them, factory utilization and the demand/supply difference doesn't add up. |
| alan watt (White Giant) | Monday, June 6, 2011 - 12:23 pm
these stripped c3's are building new corps after the old ones had been closed for the cash inside, thus the crazy prod plant binge. just a guess. |

I checked out a few of the major CEO's. Looks like a lot of companies are showing shortages, and now some are dropping production. Meanwhile, one of my country controlled weapons components corps is turning 6 billion profits every month. There must be a war, or someone is seriously preparing for one. But, what could possibly cause such a shortage in household products? |
| Synicus (White Giant) | Monday, June 6, 2011 - 10:36 pm
All countries and 45 corporations use household products. It would most likely be from the explosion of new corporations. |

Even if there was a war, it isn't going to impact household products that much. It is more GM not intervening in the market as much, reducing available supply, so now we see how much supply there really is without the GM's help. |
| Navamin (White Giant) | Tuesday, June 7, 2011 - 02:25 am
I was thinking that as well. It's much more interesting if the GM does not intervene. |
| alan watt (White Giant) | Wednesday, June 8, 2011 - 02:28 am
you know household product companies take household products to make as well. for years, this has always been a great corp to build.
Many products are seeing strangling shortages while others, including ones that are typically reliable are seeing unusual plunges in price/demand. |
