Restraints 

• Cybersecurity Concerns: As webcams become more common in homes and offices, they also present vulnerabilities to hacking and privacy breaches. Incidents of webcam hacking, such as the 2019 Zoom security flaw that allowed unauthorized access to webcams, have made consumers wary and led to increased scrutiny in webcam security. 

• Supply Chain Disruptions: The global shortage of semiconductor chips has impacted webcam production. Manufacturers faced challenges in meeting growing demand due to disruptions in the supply chain caused by the pandemic. 

• Competition from Smartphone Cameras: With the advancement of front-facing cameras on smartphones, many consumers now opt to use their phones for video calls thanks to their high-resolution lenses and built-in features. This shift has diminished the demand for separate webcams, as smartphones offer a convenient, all-in-one solution for video communication.
