The so-called Black Swan effect could happen in the world's largest smartphone market, a phenomenon that describes the rare and unexpected events caused by the new epidemic of the Coronavirus in the first half of the year, and it is civilian and produces severe impacts and consequences that resulted in the accident killing thousands in China.
The IDC said in a statement that the Corona virus epidemic will affect the Chinese New Year season in late January and is expected to have a negative impact in the coming months, adding that Chinese smartphones are expected to be turned off, and the volume of goods will increase by more than last year by 30%. The first quarter of 2020.
Market research firm Canalys expected a 50% drop in smartphone shipments to China between the last three months of 2019 and the first three months of 2020 earlier this month.
The company said in a report released on February 3: Technology vendors may stop marketing because they should not focus on launching new products such as 5G devices and sellers will need time to do so, the Chinese launch card, which is expected to offer 5G will slow in 2020 .
The epidemic could delay China's plan to launch 5G services. IDC said in a report on Tuesday that 5G devices require lower prices, better network coverage and beneficial use cases to attract consumers.
China extended the New Year holiday to curb the disease. This means that many factories have closed for a long time, and the spread of the virus has had a major impact on the world's second largest economy, probably due to lower demand in China. ,
Since many companies have manufacturing facilities in China or depend on different regions of the country, other measures to isolate and control the virus are expected to disrupt global supply chains.
