PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Smartphones will remain a persistent threat to imaging devices in the years ahead
Sales of imaging devices are projected to decline over the forecast period, primarily due to the high adoption rate of smartphones, which is expected to continue rising thanks to the availability of affordable devices, attractive telecommunications service packages, subsidies, vigorous competition among brands, and increased daily reliance on smartphones. Enhanced camera quality, improved stabilisation features, convenient video recording, and the ability to live-stream via platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok have made smartphones the preferred choice for everyday photography and videography.
Rise of street photography and nostalgia trend may fuel demand
The popularity of street photography in Malaysia continues to rise, offering unfiltered glimpses into daily life without elaborate setups and capturing authentic, real-world scenes. In December 2024, the country hosted one of the largest street photography gatherings, organised by Foto Jalanan Malaysia (FJM), a community comprising approximately 30,000 members nationwide.
AI-Powered innovation could elevate action camera appeal among content creators
Looking ahead, imaging devices in Malaysia may experience renewed interest among content creators with the launch of next-generation action cameras that integrate advanced technology and AI-powered features. In April 2025, GoPro Malaysia introduced the refreshed GoPro Max 360, available for preorder at MYR 1,949 (retailing at MYR 2,339 post-promotion).
