Impact of COVID-19 on the Secure Digital Card Market:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the secure digital (SD) card market. While the demand for SD cards has increased due to the demand for digital devices and the need for remote working and learning, the pandemic has also disrupted the supply chain and manufacturing processes, leading to supply chain challenges and product shortages. The closure of manufacturing facilities and restrictions on international trade have affected the production and distribution of SD cards. This has resulted in increased prices for SD cards and extended lead times for delivery, particularly for high-capacity and high-speed cards. The pandemic has also changed consumer behaviour and preferences, leading to changes in demand for SD cards. With the shift towards remote work and online learning, there has been an increased demand for high-capacity SD cards to store and transfer digital content. At the same time, the demand for low-capacity SD cards used for in-store photography and video recording has decreased.
