Going back a decade, it would have been a joke to see mobile phones replace cameras. But a decade on, the old joke has come true, and fewer and fewer people are buying cameras. Global digital camera shipments fell 72.6 percent in May from a year earlier to less than 370,000 units, according to the latest figures, according to CCTV financial. According to the report, Geng Xianglian, a 20-year-old store manager in a photography equipment city in Beijing, told the reporter that the people who can come to the photography equipment city to spend now are mainly old customers, even if they are photography enthusiasts, their purchasing power is declining. Digital camera shipments have been falling since 2010, due to a combination of factors. Worldwide, 15.21 million digital cameras were shipped in 2019, only 13 percent of 2010 shipments. It is understood that this is mainly because during the epidemic, many people have reduced travel and parties, the frequency of camera use has been greatly compressed. In addition, with the advancement of technology, the camera function of mobile phones has been enhanced to meet the daily needs of ordinary consumers.
