Several well-known Japanese enterprises have stopped their production because of the earthquake and tsunami. Industries that manufactured digital cameras, digital video cameras and related core components have been severely affected. Memory chips, LCD panels and related components will be out of stock in the near future. Products in the domestic market will face a price hike due to the short supply and logistics problems.

Meanwhile, the deliveries of customized products which are manufactured in Japan are also delayed. Before the earthquake, the customized products were usually delivered within 30 work days.
