This snippet inserts a progress bar on the product page to let customers know how many units you have in stock. The visual representation conveys more scarcity because they will be able to see not only how many units you have in stock but also how many have been sold. This Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) tactic indices urgency making people more likely to buy.
