Digital consumer electronics shipments Corona's brutal increase in July for the first time in 10 months August 28, 16:48
In July, shipments of digital home appliances such as flat-screen TVs began to increase for the first time in 10 months. This may be due to the so-called nest nesting demand of people who spend their time at home and the uniform payment of 100,000 yen.
According to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, domestic shipments of digital home appliances such as flat-screen TVs were 121.1 billion yen last month, an increase of 2.5% compared to the same month last year.
It's the first time in 10 months since last September, before the consumption tax hike, that shipments will exceed the same month last year.
In particular, video equipment such as flat-screen TVs has shown a high growth rate of 7.7%, and industry groups have been spending more time at home because of the new coronavirus, but during the summer, bonuses have been paid and a uniform benefit of 100,000 yen is paid. It has been analyzed that it has led to the movement to buy TVs, etc.
According to the Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association, shipments of air conditioners and washing machines last month were 271.3 billion yen, an increase of 12.5% compared to the same month last year.
With the increase for the second consecutive month, industry groups say that even with so-called white goods, demand for nesting of people who spend their time at home and flat benefits of 100,000 yen have increased.
