Pokemon GO Causes Battery Pack Sales To Go Up By 101%


According to The NPD Group, sales of battery packs for charge mobile devices like smartphones and tablets grew by 101% from the time between July 10 and July 23. NPD credits this huge sales boost to Pokemon GO. "In the 6 weeks leading up to Pokemon Go’s launch," battery pack sales were only up four percent over the previous year. In the two weeks following the launch of Pokemon Go, "sales of portable power packs reached nearly 1.2 million units”. Anyone who’s played Pokemon GO knows that the app is a battery killer and a battery is kinda a necessity if you want to play the game for multiple hours. I myself have even purchased a battery pack so this data by the NDP group is very believable. What do you think ?
