Forget 2020: CIPA data confirms camera sales are at record low and BCNrankign reports 50% sales drop in March
As expected February sales were lower compared to the previous year. And I do expect march 2020 to show devastating numbers because of the Covid19 outbreak forced production stop.
Moreover BCNranking already anticipates the March sales were they see a full 50% sales drop on the Japanese market 🙁
