November 2023 CIPA numbers by ZoetMB
All numbers down in November compared to October, but that’s probably because dealers had already purchased for the holiday shopping season by October.
CIPA predicted 5.72 million DSLR and Mirrorless bodies and 9.39 million lenses for calendar 2023. Last month we predicted 6.07 to 6.22m bodies. Looks like it’s going to be at the low end of our last prediction at 6.07m bodies.
