Camera sales are continuing to show steady growth, according to the latest numbers from the Camera and Imaging Product Association (CIPA)’s latest data. But while both interchangeable lens cameras and fixed lens cameras are seeing more shipments in 2025 than the year before, the data suggests compact cameras are seeing the biggest increase in price.
CIPA tracks production and shipment of cameras using two key statistics: the number of cameras shipped and the value of those cameras in Japanese yen. Data hints that 2025 could be the best year for camera sales since 2019, with the first half of the year showing 116.6 percent growth.
