Market share

Ha ha. I have no idea where you live, or even where the battery mega factory is located. But yeah, I don't think that battery cars have had the expected take up in the Western world. A little bit more government intervention and manipulation required perhaps. Hopefully Panasonic doesn't get badly burnt out of the whole circus anyway. Be a shame to see the digital camera division get wiped out through no fault of their own.

I live in Lenexa, on the west edge of the Kansas City metro area, so the Panasonic plant in DeSoto is right up Highway K-7. It's been getting a lot of attention - both for the jobs it will bring to the area, and the tax incentives used to get them to build here.

EV sales are doing just fine in most developed economies. In the UK in 2024, BEV market share was 19%. In Norway it’s over 90%, in Denmark, 68% etc.

I have a question about the famous "market share": why aren't the sales of Leica, Sigma, Blackmagic, DJI (everything related to the L-Mount alliance) added to Panasonic's sales to make this calculation? I mean without the M43 stuff from Panasonic or the Leica not SL stuff, for example.

Or could anyone make the market share calculation of the L-Mount alliance?
