Comparing it to other industries, such as oil and gas, eletctronics industry is a relatively new one. Yet, its worth of total global sales exceeded $481 billion in 2018. The industry, however, can boast with trillions of revenues, and it’s among those that grow steadily and quickly. No wonder, as wherever we look around us, we can see electrical gadgets, and the year of 2020 has proven that we can’t get on without them.
We have smartphones, smart TVs, smart household gadgets, and our homes are so well-equipped with them, we hardly need to do anything with our own hands. The coronavirus pandemic of 2020 affected the whole world economy, not only the electronics industry. Around 57 million people were infected and more than a million people died. Due to the global industrial lockdown, workforce was unavailable in this sector too, consequently its revenues also decreased.

I can remember our first video player manfucatured by Panasonic… We were eyxtremely happy with it, and used it for a long time.
