Camera sales cut by eight in ten years

CIPA indicates that it sold just 15.2 million cameras last year, up from 121.5 million in 2010. Turnover also fell from 18 billion euros to 5 billion euros. Camera sales have been cut by eight in ten years.
The compacts have almost disappeared.
If sales continue to fall, the average price continues to rise.

This situation should last and sales of devices should not exceed 12 million copies in 2020, half as much as in 2017. The main cause is the incredible improvement in the quality of photos from smartphones, including sensors are often made by Sony. The manufacturers who suffer the most are also the ones who master the least of technologies.
