Economic fluctuations, sluggish demand and stockpiling have prompted sellers to quickly reassess their portfolio strategies for the remainder of 2022. As budget-constrained consumers downgrade their device purchases, the oversupplied middle class has become an open segment for vendors to focus on tuning out new product launches.” says.
