-63% - so unsurprisingly they are hit the worst among all manufacturers ...
massive losses
I reckon this the end of their compact camera business at the very least.
Compacts are almost dead even in their own forecast for the year that startet in 2Q20 (-70% in units; market share down to 8%).
But even more important is the assumption for interchangeables. In cameras and lenses they expect a loss of market share down to 16% vs the competition who suffer from the market shrink and COVID as well.
This business will be less than 30% of Nikon total business in 2021!
This doesn't sound like a post-COVID recovery or strategic plan for consolidation of the imaging business but like Olympus 4 years ago.
