More and more companies refuse to participate in the Consumer Electronics Showcase.

The organizers did not provide a list of all manufacturers who do not intend to travel to the United States at CES 2022, but stated that there are 42 such companies in total.

Only on December 23, Google, Waymo, Intel and Lenovo refused to participate in the exhibition. In addition, HTC, TCL, BMW and John Deere are still "in business", but will continue to monitor the development of the situation with the spread of the Omicron coronavirus.

Consumer Technology Association director Gary Shapiro is determined to host an exhibition in Las Vegas, which was held online last year due to COVID-19. More than 2,000 companies have been confirmed to participate in CES 2022, he said.
