1) Delivery Services
Goods and products still need to travel between the suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. There is still the hesitation with behaviours of going out. Getting someone else to delivery something tackles that pain point.

2) Plants and Gardening Supplies
Rising trend of plantitos and plantitas are occurring since people are looking at different avenues to pass the time. It's difficult to plant without the tools so there's also a correlated demand between the two products. Also, plants are just nifty.

3) Computers
Work-at-home is difficult without a device. With more firms, companies, and schools adapting to an online scenario, there's a greater need for computers in order to accomplish tasks. In other words, the scenario creates a greater demand.

1. Technology-based products - Students and employees always look for a way to have convenience when conducting their work virtually. Products such as keyboards, headphones, and the like that can assist with their productivity are in demand. They are handy to have and can be customizable to their needs and interests.

2. Online shopping service (e.g. Lazada, Shopee) - Acts as a reprieve from the stress that the pandemic has created in everyone's lives. It provides people the same satisfaction as going out in malls offer, and gives them something to look forward to receiving. It is also a relatively safer option as compared to going out in public, and lessens the risk of virus transmission.

3. Sweets, pastries and desserts - Food has always been a trend, and sweets and desserts such as cakes habe become even more popular during the time of pandemic. Since a lot of work are being conducted virtually, desserts are a good snack option as they are convenient and satiates the cravings of many. They are also great to post on social media, and for small celebrations.

1. E-commerce/Online Shops (Lazada, Shopee, foodpanda)
- With many physical stores still not allowed to operate at full capacity, many entrepreneurs and consumers have taken advantage of the convenience that e-commerce provides.

2. Games/Forms of Entertainment
- Because people are unable to go outside their own homes for entertainment, they instead bring the entertainment, such as mobile and/or PC games (MiHoYo, Riot Games, etc.), as well as streaming services (Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, etc.), to the comfort of their own homes.

3. Technology Companies
- With the majority of the population studying, working, or managing businesses online, products from technology companies will be the minimum for them to accomplish their work/responsibilities. Smartphones, tablets, laptops/personal computers are all devices that will be of huge assistance to people with their learning and working setups from home.

1. Face masks
Nearly everyone in the world uses a face mask when going outside due to the health risks brought upon by the pandemic. The demand for face masks has greatly increased over the past year. Face masks have become a necessity since the pandemic started so I believe that many people would look to buy these on a daily basis.

2. Hand Sanitizer
People have become more conscious of their personal hygiene since the pandemic started. People try much harder to stay clean and disinfected now with the pandemic still at large. Since hand sanitizer is a convenient means to practice personal hygiene on the go, I think it would sell especially at this point in time.

3. Pocket WiFi
Not everyone has the means to pay for an internet bill on a monthly basis and with education being exclusively online at this time, having an internet connection is vital. The need for a reliable internet connection is becoming more and more important as time passes. Prepaid Pocket WiFis are a good alternative solution for those who cannot afford to pay a monthly bill for internet.

# data[].attributes.body
1.) Online hubs
-Due to quarantine and social distancing, people have been looking for alternatives on how to socialize with other people. While online hubs have been around since the birth of the internet, I think it is thriving more than ever now due to the pandemic.

2.) Self-Workout Programs
-One of the most affected businesses due to COVID are gyms. Right before the start of the pandemic, it was rising in popularity but due to the nature of how these gyms operate, they are considered as one of the high-risk establishments due to COVID. I think self-workout programs are important as an alternative when people can't normally visit gyms today.

3.) Chairs
-Not just study from home, but work from home has been the new normal for a lot of people. As people find themselves sitting a lot more even in their own homes, I think the demand for more comfortable and ergonomic chairs have risen. It is also proven that good chairs also benefit a person's health in the long run as it prevents unnecessary strain on a person's back or corrects bad posture.

1.  Online Shopping
-

With a lot of stores being closed due to the risk of COVID-19. To help promote safety and precautions at this time many started to shop online which lessens the hassle of physical interactions. In addition, more variety is provided for products when shopping online.

2.  Delivery Services
-

The general ability of the people to go out is limited, especially at this time. People rely on delivery services to satisfy their family's or personal demands. At this time, the majority of people will be shopping online, which means that delivery services will be on the rise.

3.  Computers and Phones
-

With the implementation of online classes in our country, gadgets such as laptops, PCs, and phones are required to attend classes. These devices have been in high demand since face to face, but I believe this product will be much more appealing because it provides entertainment. Furthermore, these gadgets will always be necessary.

1. Delivery Services
With the fear amongst the masses in going out, they oftentimes resort to use courier services like GoGoXpress, Grab, or LBC to ship out important documents, products, and items instead of meeting up in a mall to transact!

2. Alcohol
In the past 2 years, our health is prioritized in more ways than one! Using alcohol to clean our selves became the norm to lessen the risk of COVID!

3. Shopee/Lazada
Using an app which delivers items for you while offering a wide variety of products is more appealing than spending the entire day at the mall worrying about COVID and going to numerous stores!

1. Tech/appliances repair shop
- considering we are in a pandemic,  stores like these help repair damaged phones, laptops, microwaves, toasters, etc right away.  Also, it includes in the package that once it’s done, your item will be sent back to you in order to have a contactless transaction.

- this is  a good alternative in this pandemic and even when it’s over. Delivery services allows the consumers to buy goods without going to a certain place which makes it easier, safer, and more convenient.

3. Home health services
- isn’t it so convenient when things are done at home?  having your blood test  done at home, getting an X-ray, ultrasound, and etc. this home health services makes it convenient for those who don’t want to leave their homes or go to hospitals/clinics. Home health services bring their machines and caters to all your needs at home. Also, having the option to also consult with doctors online! This is such a safe alternative especially to those who are afraid to have their regular check ups in these times.

1. Due to the pandemic and recent events, I feel that MEDICAL SUPPLIES such as face masks and alcohol would have an inelastic demand.

3. online streaming sites (netflix, hulu, viu) - with the limited number of activities we are able to carry out nowadays as well as cinemas being closed, there are not much options in terms of entertainment. streaming sites that over a wide selection of films, tv shows, and documentaries for a reasonable price are the next closest things people would reach for. it is an affordable way to pass time as we spend countless hours in our homes due to the pandemic.

Since the lockdown has us stuck in our homes, having a computer/gadget now is needed if you either go to school or attend meetings for your work. These products will be more necessary now for people since this will be one of the primary ways of communication.

- We eventually feel the physical pain of continuously staying in the same position for hours, sometimes even without rests in between. As most people are working or studying from home, employees and students will then be drawn to purchasing new products that will help them modify their workspaces to be as efficient and comfortable as possible.

3. DIY project/materials
- Due to the limited face to face interactions, many will find other ways to spend their pastime in exchange for the activities they could be doing outdoors.

Exercise Equipment

The pandemic has made most people staying at home more than ever for the public’s safety. This has caused people to use their motor skills and body less since they are in a much smaller space then a gym or a sports facility. An alternative that most have adapted are purchasing exercise equipment for their homes like dumbbell or yoga mats to make sure they maintain a healthy lifestyle despite having less space to move.

Audio devices (Earphones, Headphones, Mic)

We now live in a world full of zoom meetings and google meet. Which means that we would need to use devices such as headphones to make sure we hear clearly the audio or so that we can have more privacy. Others may need to buy a microphone in case their audio for others is not that clear.

Board Games

At some point households may struggle to entertain themselves after a few months and may want to do something together. Board games are a good option for the replay-ability and competitive nature of it that can pass time while spending time with others.
