The demand for used camera gear is growing, according to one retailer. The international used photo retailer MPB says it has doubled its number of customers over three years while increasing gross profit 24 percent in the last year alone.

This week, the used photo retailer shared data for the fiscal year that ended on March 31 of 2025. MPB attributes its 19 percent increase in net revenue to a number of different factors, including increased demand for used camera gear as well as the company's expansion in international markets.
