The new wave of the pandemic is sparking demand for computers and accessories, pushing sales to grow 45-70% above normal, as more people work from home and learn online, say major IT retailers.
Computers and components are still in short supply, slowed by the closure of factories abroad because of the pandemic and a surge in demand.
“In the first 10 days this year, PC sales rose by 70% year-on-year as the fresh outbreak has driven purchases of desktops, notebooks and tablets, as well as accessories such as monitors and headsets,” Takon Niyomthai, head of IT business development at Com7, a SET-listed IT retail chain, told the Bangkok Post.
