Chinese retailers resumed their main activities last month, after restrictive measures adopted in January to prevent the contagion of covid-19. With this, manufacturers in the country hope that sales of domestic smartphones can offset the global crisis expected in the coming months. That’s because important markets, like the United States and Europe, are stalled for an uncertain time, until the pandemic is controlled. In this sense, the purchasing power of consumers in the coming months – in which several launches are expected – should be strongly affected in these regions.
