Some of them, who are making profits are those companies which are giving some sort of comfort level or safety during the lockdown such could be making sanitisers, hand gloves, masks to save everyone life because these elements have been included in the essential list of every households.

There are more companies which are making different products not to save from life threatening situations but to groom people while they are at home such as shaving razors and hair trimmers for DIY (Do it yourself) purpose.


Spin Mob/Magic Mop/Robotic Floor Mop (Cleaning gadgets)


In India, upper middle class has a trend of having maids to do house cleaning etc but because of lock down maids are not giving their services to their allotted homes, even some places where maids have been allowed to visit but people are not allowing them at their homes because of the possible virus spread as they go door to-door to perform their assigned work, and there is undoubtedly a potential threat that they can carry the virus to every home wherever they work. As a result ‘magic mop’ or ‘spin mops’ have come into the demand so much that they have gone off the shelves not only from the shops but also from e-com spaces.

Reading Material


People who are generally have no time but always have a long wish list of books are having advantage of reading their favourite books. Many best sellers are out of stock


Electronic Items

Those who were not having TV because of any reason (tv kills the time, tv is bad for the kids etc) have started buying TV sets for their homes because they could buy VOD (Video On Demand) services like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hotstar and many more.

People have started buying personal laptops to watch and explore the various content on big screen as these people were doing the similar activity at home by their smart phones.

Printers are also in demand because kids are having online classes and their education material has to be printed for their home work.


Tea/Coffee/Cold Drinks


Tea, coffee and various carbonated drinks are being consumed more than they are required in a day time.


Indoor Games

Due to restrictions of stepping out people want to play indoor games to entertain themselves and the family.

Peloton revenue grew 66% during the Covid-19 crises.


Corporate Video/Product Video

Demand of Corporate video has increased because companies are not investing money in Outdoor Media which is generally called out-of-home (OH) vertical for the marketing as they are aware of that no one is going on the road so there would not be any visibility on their outdoor advertisement, they want to penetrate inside the bedroom and living room of the consumers,

Corporate video makers like ZakMedios are doing well in this kind of scenario because big player wants to acquire all the market share, a gap which was occupied by SME’s not shifting towards the large enterprises,


Animation Video

Shoot is being difficult to produce tv advertisement as a result companies are shifting their focus on animation makers. Animation video makers are doing great business because it could be produced remotely without any physical presence of a meeting or any character.
