>>4287134I'm sure quite a lot scalpers, but you misread what you linked, and the actual annual report itself is available (picrel).
>Buying a little over 1 million cameras every year (lol).They bought 1.5 mil, compared to either Europe's or America's 1.9 mil. It wouldn't surprise me at all that the average person in China has less funds/access to cameras than the average person elsewhere. The growth y/y is pretty crazy though, and I'd be very curious to see where everything ends up by the end of 2024.
>By the same source, all of europe has less than 1 billion people and orders twice as many cameras.Japan has 1/6th the population of Europe, but orders 3.5x as many camera, not sure cameras per population is a useful metric.
Does seem an insanely high figure given it's double their entire 2023 fixed lens volume, and even with the same 15% growth, that's only 280k units.
