The line graph illustrates the number of electronic appliances sold in Ghana over a 35-year period, from 1965 to 2000. Overall, the market experienced a general decline in sales for most products, although telephones showed a late recovery by the end of the timeframe.
In 1965, refrigerators were the highest-selling item at 1,000 units. However, this figure plummeted to 850 by 1975 and continued to slide until it reached 700 units in 2000. Similarly, washing machine sales initially dropped to 550 units. Despite a steady climb back to 600 in 1990, the volume subsequently fell again to finish at approximately 400 units at the close of the period.
In contrast, the sales for telephones tumbled to 300 units early on and fluctuated around the 350-unit mark for several decades. Nevertheless, this trend reversed in the final years, as sales grew steadily to 400 units by 2000, matching the final sales figures for washing machines.
