In a press release on Verbatim’s Japanese site, the storage brand wrote (machine translation) that it “will respond to the trust of customers through stable supply of optical disks in the Japanese market and continuing sales.”
This Japanese language PR highlights that particular geographic market, but it does mention the global scale of Verbatim’s operations at least once.
This seems to be focused on Japan, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t keep supply the rest of the world of there is demand for it.
Optical media seems to be more of a thing in Japan than elsewhere. In Europe, BD-R has all but disappeared from retail, with a desultory selection of CD-Rs and DVD-Rs remaining in places. In Japan, BD-R and enhanced variants are still a thing.
