Market Insights
Digital cameras are one of the most popular products in the consumer electronics business. However, digital camera manufacturers and retailers have struggled to keep pace with the technological advancements and changing consumer behavior that characterize sales of consumer electronic products. The lack of innovation in digital cameras has resulted in consumers being reluctant to buy newer models, leading to profit crunching. Thus, focus on product innovation is the requisite strategy for manufacturers as their search for the next big thing continues.
On the contrary, the emergence of social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr among others has kept the digital camera market afloat. Increasing popularity of these social networking sites and the prevailing trend of sharing high quality images over multiple platforms has given the necessary traction to the digital camera market. Digitization of consumer electronic products is another factor that has been instrumental in fueling the market demand. Digital media has transformed the field of photography, photo sharing sites, and networking sites, thereby creating sound growth opportunities for digital cameras. It has also led to a rise in the number of hobbyists pursuing digital photography. The market for digital cameras witnessed a gradual slowdown in the beginning of this decade due to economic instability in the developed economies and natural calamities in Japan and Thailand. Since then, the shipments have continued to decline through 2015. However, rise in discretionary income and intensifying market competition is expected to keep the market for digital cameras afloat.
