Though overall global demand for digital cameras is predicted to have fallen by 24% by the end of 2013, the interchangeable-lens camera segment will continue to see growth, according to the Worldwide Digital Camera Market<\/em> report by Futuresource Consulting.<\/p>\n

Arun Gill, a market analyst at the firm, said: \u2018Interchangeable-lens cameras will account for one in every four digital cameras shipped this year.<\/p>\n

\u2018That’s up from less than one in five in 2012 and – of greater significance – for the very first time the segment will account for more than half the total digital camera trade value.’ <\/p>\n

Trade value is defined as the body-only selling price of a camera, less any taxes.<\/p>\n

Futuresource predicts that system cameras will have grown 5% this year, to almost 21 million units.<\/p>\n

\u2018Although consumer demand for fixed-lens cameras is falling across all regions, the rapid uptake of connected mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets means there are more camera devices in use than ever before.’<\/p>\n

\n ‘Growing base of photo enthusiasts’<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Gill added: \u2018And here’s the interesting part: as consumers’ experience of capturing mobile photos develops, their interest in photography is likely to increase.<\/p>\n

\u2018Now we are seeing a growing base of photo enthusiasts, especially in less-developed countries, who desire a high-end digital camera with advanced features such as larger optical zooms and bigger image sensors.<\/p>\n

\u2018This will provide an opportunity for further growth in higher-end camera sales, particularly with interchangeable lenses.’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Futuresource blames the \u2018relatively weak’ 6% growth of the CSC market in 2013 on a \u2018lack of consumer education’.<\/p>\n

\u2018Demand for DSLR cameras has been driven by entry-level models becoming more affordable,’ it adds.<\/p>\n

\u2018While CSC will represent almost half the interchangeable [-lens] camera market volume in Japan, DSLR remains by far the most popular format globally, with 80% volume share expected for 2013.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
