The photographic and photocopying equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $42.21 billion in 2024 to $44.79 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to film-based photography, printing and reproduction needs, analog photography, consumer photography, business document management.
The photographic and photocopying equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $55.3 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to digital photography and imaging, office automation and digitization, sustainability and eco-friendly equipment, remote work and hybrid offices, professional and creative photography. Major trends in the forecast period include mirrorless cameras and dslrs, 3D printing and scanning, compact and portable printers, AI and image recognition, high-speed and high-resolution printing.
The growth of the photographic and photocopying equipment market is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for digital cameras and their accessories. This category encompasses various electronic devices and supplementary equipment designed for capturing, storing, and processing digital images and videos. Photographic and photocopying equipment plays a vital role in enhancing the capabilities of digital cameras, enabling users to print, scan, copy, edit, and improve digital images and documents for a wide range of personal, professional, and creative purposes. Notably, the Camera & Imaging Products Association reported in August 2023 that mirrorless cameras experienced a remarkable 20% year-on-year growth, reaching 253 billion yen ($17 billion) in the first half of the year, marking a third consecutive record high. With China witnessing a significant increase of 44%, Japan and Europe also registered growth of 30% and 9%, respectively. Thus, the growing demand for digital cameras and related accessories is anticipated to drive the growth of the photographic and photocopying equipment market.
The growth of the photographic and photocopying equipment manufacturing market is supported by the forecasted stable economic growth in both developed and developing countries. For example, in July 2024, the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office reported that the UK economy grew from £2.26 trillion ($2969.46) in 2021 to £2.5 trillion ($3282.52) in 2022. The recovery of commodity prices, which had previously declined significantly, is expected to further support market growth. Developed economies are also anticipated to experience steady growth during the forecast period. Additionally, emerging markets are projected to grow at a slightly faster pace than developed markets. This stable economic growth is expected to lead to increased investments in end-user markets, driving market expansion during the forecast period.
Major companies in the photographic and photocopying equipment market are prioritizing the development of advanced photographic equipment to gain a competitive edge and expand their product offerings. An example of such innovative equipment is the CRANE 4 Gimbal, which empowers filmmakers with creative freedom in filmmaking. In July 2023, Guilin Zhishen Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Zhiyun-Tech), a China-based electronic equipment manufacturer, launched the CRANE 4 Gimbal designed for DSLRs and cinema cameras. This advanced gimbal boasts features such as built-in balance indicator lights for quick motor balance assessment and Bluetooth connectivity for direct shutter control of compatible cameras. This eliminates the need for cables and allows for remote recording start/stop and photo capture activation.
Projector manufacturers are responding to the demand for energy-efficient equipment by offering laser projectors that provide high-quality images. Laser projectors utilize laser light sources, in contrast to traditional projectors that rely on xenon lamps. Laser projectors deliver exceptional image quality, vivid color reproduction, and 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation. They are known for their energy efficiency and extended lifespan compared to lamp-based projectors. As a result, laser projectors are experiencing significant growth and are increasingly utilized in applications such as business presentations, home theater systems, gaming, and movie screenings. Key companies in the laser projector manufacturing sector include Epson, Casio, Sony, Christie, and Panasonic.
