Camera sales in historic contaxt - Brightcolours - 03-04-2020

With all the doom and gloom about the camera sales decline, current sales numbers are still a lot higher than they have beenĀ in the film era.

In Germany, it's actually not all that terrible with respect to lenses

But system cameras are clearly down

And mirrorless gear has now more marketshare ("Kompakte Systemkameras").

Makes me wonder about other markets. Germany is probably more conservative than most with respect to cameras vs smartphones.
