Industries that thrive in crisis like COVID 19

Question

I am aware that some industries thrive during crisis times like COVID 19...Food supplies, medical, counselling, funeral services, liquor etc.

Are there any other industries that may do well during these testing times?

Answer 1

In no particular order:

• Consumer Staples: household goods, food, beverages, hygiene products, and other products that individuals are either unwilling or unable to eliminate from their budgets even in times of financial trouble
• IT: Internet/Social Media, Software, and Semiconductors.
