During the coronavirus period, some commodities were scarce. Initially, toilet paper, noodles and yeast were needed, but now there are no webcams in many places. Other technical products are also very popular among buyers.

Coronavirus paralyzes public life in Asia, Europe, and now America. In many places, people are panicking about this and have established huge stocks of food and consumer goods. For example, in the first few days of the pandemic, toilet paper, yeast and pasta were lacking in the fixed food market. At the same time, similar pictures can be seen in online transactions-just no rush on toilet paper, no rush on the webcam.

Logitech webcams are few

According to a report by NPD Group's market researcher, the online magazine "The Verge" reported that in the first three weeks of March, sales of these gadgets in the United States increased by 179%. Popular cameras from Logitech and other manufacturers are rarely purchased at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and other US retailers. According to Netzwelt's research, some Logitech webcams [such as Logitech C920 HD Pro] are out of stock in the German Amazon region, or can only be purchased through markets with long delivery times.

The reason is, of course, that more and more workers are working in the home office, and since they cannot see the end, they are obviously improving the workplace at home. According to The Verge, not only are web cameras scarce, but the demand for external displays is also increasing. Here, the situation is slowly relaxing again. If you can no longer get an external monitor, you can also use the tablet as a second monitor under Windows 10.
