The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought tremendous pressure to global supply chain risk management (SCRM). The concept of risk management is characterized by complexity. First, it is challenging in terms of content. Second, risk management is a multidimensional and interdisciplinary research field. This paper conducts a Bibliometric Analysis to determine the fundamental impact of supply chain demand risk management and obtain a structured overview of the characteristics and development of this research field. A total of 768 publications related to supply chain demand risk management were found in the Web of Science database. These publications cover 1677 authors, 189 journals, 50 countries or regions, and 768 institutions. Supply chain demand risk management is divided into two main research areas: (1) collaboration and (2) management. The former research area dominates the current supply chain demand risk management research. In addition, the International Journal of Production Economics is the main journal published, and China and the United States are the countries with the dominant publication volume. It can be seen that this field is still in a rapid development stage, and researchers have shown great interest in it. In addition, supply chain demand risk management research is also characterized by a wide range of research topics and a multidisciplinary nature. The regional inequality of publication output is considered a worrying issue.
