Global production of digital cameras has been
steadily declining as the demand for
point-and-shoot cameras is being cannibalised by
smartphones. Most smartphones are equipped
with high-resolution cameras and support
applications that enhance the captured image, a
functionality that positions these phones as ideal
substitutes for digital cameras.

Aranca believes that ownership penetration for digital cameras has reached maturity in North
America and Europe, especially in the US, Germany, the UK and France. As a result, first-time
buyer demand has consistently declined in these markets over the last few years. Consumers in
developed markets such as North America and Europe are replacing compact built-in lens
cameras with the latest interchangeable lens cameras, which is likely to contribute to their
increasing popularity. Furthermore, the introduction of mirror-less cameras has increased the
demand for interchangeable lens cameras in developed regions. These cameras are sleek and
compact, similar to the compact point-and-shoot cameras, but use interchangeable lenses.

North America was leading the market until recently. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to become the largest market, mainly due to rising income and low ownership levels of cameras in these markets.
The market for digital cameras has been steadily declining. It was valued at EUR5.1 billion in 2014 after reporting a CAGR of -19% during 2010-14.
In 2014, cameras with built-in-lens held 70% of the global digital camera market. However, consumer spending for this segment is expected to decline as many consumers are opting to save money by using only one device for pictures thereby choosing smartphones.
Conversely, the market for
cameras with interchangeable
lens is likely to grow; production
is expected to nearly double by
2018 from its current market
share of approximately 30%.
