In November 2021, the virtual currencies of Wrapped Bitcoin and Bitcoin both reached a price that was over 60,000 U.S. dollars. Bitcoin had the most expensive cryptocurrency for a while but Ethereum was significantly cheaper, though, with a price that was roughly 30 times less than that of the most well-known digital currency.
What is a cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrencies are virtual commodities designed as currencies without a centralized regulating authority. Like a regular fiat currency, they have value only because their users agree upon the value. However, since there is no central authority to guarantee the price of these currencies, the price can be quite volatile.
Investment in cryptocurrencies
Many investors see this volatility as an opportunity. The fluctuation in price of Bitcoin and other expensive virtual currencies attracts speculators. Others might be more drawn to blockchain, the distributed ledger technology that makes cryptocurrencies like bitcoin more secure. This may be the reason why number of Blockchain wallet users globally is increasing from year to year.
The Americas are Apple’s largest regional market, bringing in net sales of 36.82 billion U.S. dollars in the fourth quarter of the company’s 2021 fiscal year. Europe and Greater China are two other major markets for Apple.
U.S.: Apple’s biggest market
The high revenue generated from the Americas is largely due to Apple’s strong performance in their home market, the United States. Apple has the largest market share among smartphone vendors in the U.S. by a large margin. Although international sales have a growing share of Apple’s total revenue, the U.S. still counts for around 40 percent of Apple’s net sales. The U.S. also has the highest concentration of Apple stores, which is Apple’s own chain of retail stores that showcase and sell Apple’s various products including the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, among others.
iPhone: Apple’s most profitable product
The iPhone, initially released in 2007, became Apple’s most successful product: The share of iPhone sales consistently amount to more than 40 percent of Apple’s overall share of sales. The early generations of iPhone revolutionized the mobile phone industry and popularized the use of smartphones. Now in the 14th generation, the new iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max continue to contribute to the success of Apple’s signature product, helping push for year-on-year iPhone sales growth despite the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
In 2021, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the estimated number of scheduled passengers boarded by the global airline industry amounted to just over 2.2 billion people. This represents a 50 percent loss in global air passenger traffic compared to 2019.
Airline passenger traffic
The number of scheduled passengers handled by the global airline industry has increased in all but one of the last decade. Scheduled passengers refer to the number of passengers who have booked a flight with a commercial airline. Excluded are passengers on charter flights, whereby an entire plane is booked by a private group. In 2019, the Asia Pacific region had the highest share of airline passenger traffic accounting for one third of the global total. The region also includes the busiest air routes.
Reasons for growth
Three main reasons are generally cited to explain the ongoing global growth in air travel. First is the increase in low-cost carriers, who have almost doubled their market share over the last 15 years. Second is the growth of the global middle class, especially in China. Both these developments have increased the number of consumers able to afford air travel. Finally, there is also the growth in airport infrastructure spending, led by the Asia Pacific region, which has increased the global carrying capacity.
As of October 2021, LinkedIn had an audience reach of 180 million users in the United States. The country was by far the leading market of the professional job networking service, with runner-up India only accounting for an audience of 81 million.
LinkedIn: the company
Launched in 2003, LinkedIn is a professional networking service where job seekers can post their CVs, and employers or recruiters can post job ads and search for prospective candidates. In December 2016, Microsoft acquired LinkedIn, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. In 2020, the platform generated over eight billion U.S. dollars in revenue. Despite its great success, the company has not always seen positive numbers only, and in 2018, LinkedIn reported an operating loss of 987 million U.S. dollars.
LinkedIn marketing
Greater exposure, lead generation and increased thought leadership are all key benefits of social media marketing, and LinkedIn is a popular marketing tool in the B2B segment. Whereas the company predominantly generates revenue by selling access to member information to professional parties, LinkedIn is the second-most popular social media platform used by B2B marketers, ranking only behind Facebook.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic in Germany began in January 2020, with high new daily case numbers still being recorded in January 2021. New case numbers began decreasing towards late spring 2020 and declined further as June arrived, then climbed once again come July. September brought with it a fresh spike, with worries about a second wave. In the first half of 2021, Germany battled what both scientists and the government termed a third wave.
Staying home
The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation on March 11, 2020. This declaration immediately impacted life in Germany on all levels. Rising coronavirus (COVID-19) case numbers in March-April led to the swift implementation of nationwide distancing and crowd control measures to stop further spread of the virus, which primarily transferred most easily from person to person. From a large-scale economic shutdown, venue, school, daycare and university closures, to social distancing and the contact ban officially implemented by the German government, seemingly in the space of days life as the population knew it came to a standstill in the whole country.
Unlockdown
Later in April 2020, Germany began easing some of the restrictions related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak as case numbers began to drop. Elements of uncertainty remain and touch on various aspects, for example, regarding national mental and physical health, both among adults and children, the possibility of long-term effects from the virus, immunity. A rising worry among European nations is economic recovery, with higher GDP losses already predicted.
In November 2021, cosmetics retail sales in China amounted to around 30.99 billion yuan. The market witnessed a significant decrease in revenue during the first months of 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which affected consumer goods sales in general. However, resulted from China's effective pandemic management, the retail trade value saw a swift recovery.
Cosmetics retail development
In the last decade, the cosmetics market in China has been developing rapidly. In 2020, the retail sales value of cosmetic products reached the record high of 340 billion yuan. As the demand for cosmetic products expands further in second-and third-tier cities of China, cosmetics retail is expected to maintain its growth momentum in the near future. In addition, the changing attitude among men towards skin-care fosters the booming of men's cosmetics market in China. From 2013 to 2018, the sales value of men’s grooming products in China increased by around 37 percent.
Brands and sales channels
Foreign cosmetics brands play a dominant role in China’s cosmetics market. Four out of five leading beauty and personal care product brands in China were foreign-funded. L’Oréal, the world’s third-largest cosmetics company, still holds the largest share in China’s overall cosmetics market as well as color cosmetic product market, despite of a significant decline in market share since 2011. Apart from an adjusted brand strategy, shifting preferences among Chinese consumers towards premium brands and increasing competition may be seen as the main reasons for the steady decline of L’Oréal’s share in the color cosmetics subsector.
Among the main distribution channels for cosmetic retail in China, online retail has been expanding significantly over recent years, while traditional retail channels such as hypermarkets and department stores were losing ground. In 2018, online shopping accounted for around 74 percent of China’s overall cosmetics retail sales and was forecasted to reach nearly 80 percent by 2024.

In 2021, due to the actions of Alexander Lukashenko's government, a migration crisis was initiated on the border of Belarus with the European Union. The Belarusian authorities contributed by organizing the transfer of refugees and immigrants from Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries of the Middle East and Africa across the Belarusian-Lithuanian and Belarusian-Polish-Latvian borders. These actions were meant to respond to EU sanctions against Belarus caused by the rigged presidential election in 2020 and the repression of oppositionists.
