On one hand, the increased demand for PCs and gaming systems during lockdowns and remote work boosted ODD sales for personal and professional use. On the other hand, disruptions in the supply chain and retail operations might have impacted the distribution and sales of ODDs, particularly during the peak of the pandemic.
Some of the key players in the UAE ODD market include LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, ASUS, Sony Corporation and Pioneer Corporation.
