This is evidenced by CIPA statistics for April.
The Japanese CIPA Camera Manufacturers Association, which unites Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Ricoh, Sony, and other industry representatives, has updated sales figures for digital cameras and interchangeable lenses. Now statistics include April indicators. Published data indicate that the collapse in the digital camera market continues.

In April of this year, 299,479 units were sold with interchangeable lens cameras. This is slightly higher than in March, but only 36.3% of the value recorded in April 2019, when 825,433 lenses were sold.
