搶購是指消費者在可預期的災難前、災難發生後、在可預見的價格上升及商品短缺前,異常地購買大量的商品之行為。

在公共衛生危機時發生的搶購行為,受下述情緒及因素所影響的:其一,個人因公共衛生危機而感威脅和商品短缺;其二,因情緒壓力及不穩定性,而對未知事物所產生的恐懼;其三,因視搶購為緩解焦慮及重新控制危機,而所作出的因應行為;其四,因個人在社交網絡受到的影響而出現的社會心理因素[1]

搶購也是一種羊群效應[2],而這對消費者行為理論較為重要的。廣義上的經濟學的研究會對如何解釋一些群體行為進行探討,例如是潮流股市走勢、盲搶、團積擠提[3]

搶購也會導致真正的短缺問題,而不管短缺的風險是否真實存在還是憑感覺的,而後一種情況是自我實現的例子[4]
