Since early this year, the world has been facing a hazardous new generation of coronavirus named COVID-19 which has rapidly spread to the extent that it has drowned the world into the pandemic condition. The spread of this pandemic has generated a strong contagion effect across markets around the globe. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the impact of COVID-19 for as many markets as possible. This paper aims to analyze the cosmetic retail market's behavior in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic using a combination of graphical statistics tools to observe the monthly growth of production and sales in cosmetic retail and toilet articles for the period from October 2019 to August 2020. The results assume that the COVID-19 can have a black swan effect on the cosmetic micro-market. These findings are remarkable for the cosmetic sector's investors and marketers to enhance their understanding of cosmetic retail market behavior during unpredictable events such as pandemics.

Although consumer diets are being upgraded globally, food purchase patterns vary across countries based on income levels. Developing countries are registering rapid increases in retail sales of high-value foods, while developed countries are seeing a rise in sales of products that meet consumer demands for variety, food safety, and quality. To meet these increasingly varied needs, multinational food retailers and manufacturers are expanding their presence in developing countries, and food retailers and suppliers are adding value and differentiating their products in developed countries. The ongoing changes are driving food supply chains to adopt closer coordination between producers and retailers to facilitate customizing products to meet consumer demands. Even as the food industry is becoming more global, food markets are increasingly responding to consumer preferences at a local level and catering to specific demands in each market.

We analyzed the integration retail market of the industrialized tortilla. We used cointegration, granger causality test and IRF approach to understand the linkage between the pieces in five cities distributed in Mexico. The result shows that there is integration between spatially dispersed markets. As we have seen from the IRF graph, the effect of shock in one market has permanent effect on the price of the other market. However the magnitude of the effect is small. The integration in the market can be attributed to many factors including the market concentration (especially the white corn flour industry). If most of the production factors are held by few firms the difference of price between the cities should be the transportation cost and retail price markup depending on the location of the factories. In addition, in such situation the possibility of collusion (both for tortilla and flour producers) should not be ruled out. On the positive side, the integration in the Tortilla market can be thought of as the development of the retail market due to entry of giant supermarkets into the Mexican retail markets that transport and distribute the product efficiently. Finally, the data shows that the price rises abruptly in all markets around beginning of 2009. This might show some kind of structural change in level of 2 prices. Future research should address the cause of the structural shift as well as if any difference in the cointegration of the markets before and after this period.
