PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Strong preference for smartphones over the forecast period
Consumer interest in imaging devices, including digital cameras and digital camcorders, will continue to decrease over the forecast period, as smartphones are used for their camera and video needs. The convenience of using a smartphone to take pictures and videos in high quality and immediately send them to friends and family, as well as share on social media, is the main reason why smartphones are so widely used.
Innovation unlikely to reverse the negative trend
There have been some new releases in imaging devices, with both Canon and Sony launching new models in the second half of 2024. Canon launched their EOS R1 in late 2024, which is positioned as the company’s flagship mirrorless model and is aimed at consumers who want to photograph sports, wildlife and other professional photography.
Convenience of e-commerce offers further potential as channel for imaging devices
Since the pandemic, e-commerce has become the dominant distribution channel for imaging devices in the UK and is expected to retain its lead over the forecast period. Home seclusion during the pandemic meant many consumers moved online to purchase their imaging devices as it meant they could avoid contact with others, resulting in retail volume share gain of 30 percentage points in 2020 compared to the previous year.
