G-SHOCK G-SQUAD PRO (photo is GSW-H1000) may move
In the third quarter of the clock business, the restrictions on the operation of the members of the Corona in the ASEAN region, which have continued since the second quarter, have slightly affected the operation restrictions.In addition to the re -expansion of corona in the Chinese region, the restrictions of human movement and the deceleration of the real economy, the momentum in the Chinese market has declined.On the other hand, in North America, Europe, and other Asian emerging countries, the recovery from Corona has been recovered, and sales have been ensured.
G-SHOCK continues to be strong and strong.Looking at the graph, it seems that models other than G-SHOCK are growing significantly, but Mr. Seiji Tamura, the executive officer of Casio Computer, said, "Last year (2021), G-SHOCK was the Corona World in the previous year.While maintaining a certain level, the recoil of the significant decrease was dropped because the non-G-SHOCK had fallen significantly. "
Although the Japanese market is flat, North America, Europe and other areas have increased significantly as mentioned above.Although the Chinese market decreased by 28 %, the recovery in other regions has increased its sales as a whole.
Finally, Tamura mentioned China at a specific period as follows.
田村氏：2021年11月以降、中国地域はコロナ再拡大により、環境悪化が想定以上に進みました。消費マインドが冷え込み、第3四半期が想定以上の影響を受けた一方、それは11月が底だったとも見ています。数字は12月から少しずつ回復に向かい、（カシオが）大手ECの時計業界ブランドランキングナンバーワンにも復帰しました。
On the other hand, while the growth of the Chinese economy is very severe, it is expected that the zero korona policy will probably continue in the fourth quarter, so it is still difficult.It is assumed that the Chinese market will return about the second half and later, but in that case, the entire clock business will enter the stage where it will grow even larger.
Regarding China, it is positioned as a time for the fourth quarter to the top, or the time of the development of a new perspective for the next leap.We will steadily carry out the basic strategies to expand.
He talked about the recovery and expectations of the Chinese market at a very high amount of heat.The explanation was omitted, saying that business strategies and goals on the full -year business had not changed significantly since the second quarter.
"Casio or as a G-SHOCK (G-SQUAD) or as a G-SHOCK (G-SQUAD) asked if events and campaigns related to winter sports were scheduled in Japan or China, and received the following answer.
Mr. Tamura: I'm sorry, so I'm sorry, but I'd like to refrain from disclosure. However, 2023 is the 40th anniversary of G-SHOCK. For this, a very powerful and attractive new product lineup.We are preparing and enhanced, so I hope you can expect it. "
So, I asked about "G-SQUAD PRO", a smartwatch full of sports, including winter sports, "If there are any future developments, such as updating functions and successor models."Then Tamura replied, "There are various things, but this is also a part of the strategy ..."Specifically, it turned out that G-SQUAD Pro seems to have some movement.As for this, I would like to tell you as soon as the information is updated.
