Demand for laptops in pandemic time

 


A surge in demand and supply gap has led to a shortage of laptops, particularly inexpensive ones, in the local market in the midst of the global pandemic.

When more and more corporations and schools move online, computers are flying off the shelf as well. In particular, it is particularly difficult to find laptops ranging from  25,000 to  50,000 now, as the current stocks are skyrocketing and new shipments are yet to arrive.

Owing to the pandemic, we have found that the supply side of the component producer has not been able to predict the surge in demand globally. Few conservative estimates were also made by our distributors. We are seeing a big increase in the pattern of work-from-home and school-from-home on the production side, which has driven production too.

The OEM components for most of the PCs and laptops are being made in China and then been shipped to other countries around the world with the increasing Covid crises issue and restricted air travel it has made transporting the OEM components harder for the Laptop manufactures. Once when all the trade barriers are removed the things will get back to normal and we can see an increase in production of laptop without sky high increase in prices.
