WEMAKEPRICE Sees Surge in IT Device Sales Amid Online School Opening... 'Webcam Sales Up 30x'
Camcorders, Tripods, and Broadcast Microphone Sales Also Rise
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Wemakeprice announced on the 6th that webcam sales surged 30 times (2987.36%) compared to the same period last year, based on an analysis of sales trends of video-related IT devices over the past three weeks.
Sales of camcorders, tripods, and broadcasting microphones needed for recording online lectures also increased by 796.6%, 699.13%, and 68.37%, respectively. Consumers looking for laptops (44.1%), tablet PCs (40.84%), and monitors (53.7%) also increased.
This rise in IT device sales is analyzed to be due to the Ministry of Education's official announcement of online school openings, leading teachers, parents, and students to purchase IT devices for online lectures. It is also believed to have been influenced by remote work video conferences and contactless recruitment recently conducted by companies.
A Wemakeprice official stated, "Following universities, elementary, middle, and high schools have started online classes, and it seems that sales of related IT devices for recording and attending online lectures at home have surged."
