ZURICH, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Logitech International expects the downturn in spending by business customers on its keyboards, video conferencing devices and other computer hardware to be temporary due to the current economic slowdown, Chief Executive Bracken Darrell said.

"This is temporary and will eventually come back," Darrell told Reuters on Tuesday after the computer peripherals maker reported lower third quarter sales and operating income as customers became more cautious.

"I can't say when, but growth will continue. Every country has adopted the idea of hybrid work, and we are the hybrid work company," he added, referring to companies where staff split their time between home and the office. (Reporting by John Revill; Editing by Kirsten Donovan)
