CIPA January data: Year starts even worse than 2020 :(

CIPA released the worldwide camera shipment data for Japanese camera manufacturers. And January 2021 started even worse than the already very bad 2020 year. Still, I do not expect 2021 to be as bad as 2020. As you can see from the graph 2020 had a sever drop due the Coronavirus outbreak. Hard not to beat that performance in 2021.
