More potential bad news for some big names...

I have noticed since 2021 and 2022, when every gear went up in price and never went down. In 2022-2023, I noticed much less sales across the board. Everywhere. Even restaurants in 2024 have much less people than before. Restaurants that used to have a wait time of 30-45 minutes now are barely filled. 

Generally speaking, people don't even have enough money for groceries let alone electronic gear. This article comes as no surprise and people are more savvy than ever. Who wants to pay 50% extra to the dealer...

How about promised tariffs.

Adjusted for inflation, restaurant sales declined 1.3% in 2024 vs 2023. 2023 sales were up 5% over 2022 and 2022 sales were up 4% over 2021.The sky isn’t falling.

Many countries in the world experienced economic impact from Covid-19 and the pandemic after effects that occurred. Pew research indicates 44 advanced economies experienced a rise in consumer prices. Western democracies took a bit hit (maybe unjustly) since incumbents lost leadership positions. How much we forget...

Yup not looking good for more run of the mill products that traditionally occupy the middle ground. But never fear, Bose is here! 😉
 

The “Audio science Review” factor may also be at play.   Measure well or else!

What might tariffs do to chifi?

The only thing constant is change.
