  “Sales of tablets, game consoles, laptops have skyrocketed by almost 20 percent on UAE online portals,” said Sandeep Ganediwall, partner at RedSeer Consulting, which tracks online sales activity in the UAE and the Gulf. The average price of products also rose – mainly due to the lack of lower-priced products in these categories. “Prices in some categories have also increased due to reduced discounts on list prices. Entry-level models are almost sold out and customers have to buy high-end products.” This combination of factors is the reason for the current surge in online demand in the UAE and Gulf markets.

Altaf Abbas Patel, head of procurement at www.thedubaibazaar.com said. “Buyers on our website are buying relatively low-end, high-quality and cheap daily necessities, and our online product purchases are mainly from China. Recently, we found that from electronics to clothing, various categories have started to have some shortages due to the new crown pneumonia. But We expect these to be short-lived, especially as China successfully controls the outbreak and begins to reopen.”

The workload of Arabic-language customer service brought about by shopping at home through e-commerce has increased significantly. The Arabic-speaking customer service after-sales staff with severe outbreaks are working at full capacity on life-style e-commerce platforms, especially delivery reminders, confirmation/cancellation of orders from takeaway platforms, supermarket grocery shopping platforms, and daily necessities shopping platforms , logistics parcel tracking, delays in dispute response and the additional service volume brought by after-sales problems, on behalf of Chinese cross-border e-commerce sellers to fully communicate and comfort foreign customers. According to Ghassen, Operations Director of Callnovo’s Middle East and Africa Call Center: “Customer service staff work at a very high density every day.

After the outbreak of the epidemic, many countries and regions in the Middle East and Africa have adopted prevention and control measures such as factory shutdowns and school closures, and overseas games have become one of the industries with the largest increase in business. Nassif Erisik, a young resident of Turkey, has a long-standing habit of playing card games with friends at home every night. He said that the regular card party has now been changed to online games: “The new crown pneumonia has changed the living habits of our group of friends.
