Prospect of the Camera Accessories Market

2014-04-29
Published : Apr-2014

Worldwide demand for camera accessories such as cases, bags, lenses, supports and flashes are increasing. In 2012, the global camera accessories market was valued at $5.1 billion. In terms of market demand, the demand for lenses was the highest, followed by bags and cases, flashes and camera supports.

A market analyst said that even though the demand for fixed lens camera is declining, the global market for interchangeable lens cameras is posting a strong growth in excess of 16% annual growth. In 2012, the average annual accessories spend per interchangeable lens camera was $307, compared to $2 per fixed lens camera.

Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Samsung, Pentax and Sony are some of the companies that manufacture and sell cameras and camera accessories in the global camera market.

Canon, Nikon and Sony are dominant digital camera vendors. In 2012, these three companies represented the majority of accessory sales in terms of value. Metz, Sigma and Manfrotto are some of the other accessories brands. These are specialist brands which also play a significant role in the global camera accessories market.

German brand Leica manufactures the smallest full-frame interchangeable lens camera in the world. Panasonic has a partnership with Leica and it produces some lenses for its compact and compact system cameras with Leica’s name.

According to Bloomberg, Canon was the market leader with around 19% of market share, followed by Sony with 17.9% and Nikon with 12.6% in 2011. According to analysts, the global camera accessories market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.51% from 2013 to 2018.

In recent years, the demand for interchangeable lens cameras is increasing across the world. However, rising popularity of smartphones as a substitute to cameras is a major challenge to this industry.

The percentage of photos taken with cameras is declining in comparison to photos taken by smartphones. Smartphones will continue to eat into the camera market, as smartphones have incorporated cameras of increasingly better quality. Smartphone’s dominance has reduced camera sales and hence it has affected the global camera accessories market as well.

Construction in the UK – Key Trends and Opportunities to 2023

Construction in the UK - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2023 Summary Construction activity in the UK was weak in 2018, owing to weak business confidence as a result of the UK's planned exit from the EU (Brexit). Poor investor confidence, coupled with sluggish economic growth, reduced construction activity in a number of sectors, particularly commercial buildings. Consequently, the country's construction industry grew by just 0.3% in real terms in 2018; this was preceded by an annual growth of 7.1% in 2017 and 4.1% in 2016. Weak economic growth and high levels of risk to business operations relating to Brexit will continue to constrain construction activity during the early part of the forecast period.

Construction in France – Key Trends and Opportunities to 2023

Construction in France - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2023 Summary The French construction industry registered marginal growth in 2018, with output expanding by 1.1% in real terms - down from 3.5% in 2017. The pace of expansion was hampered by sluggish economic growth, which eased to 1.5% in 2018, compared to 2.3% growth in 2017, owing in part to a hike in fuel taxes and transporter's strikes. Investor confidence is also being undermined by political risks associated with the ‘yellow vests' protests. Although the number of protestors at the ‘yellow vests' rallies in France fell sharply by mid-2019, there are growing concerns over the impact on the economy from the disruption caused by the movement since it began late 2018. The protests were initially established to challenge fuel ta......
