Interchangeable Lens Market Analysis

Lens Type (Wide Angle, Telephoto, Macro, Zoom, Fisheye)

The wide-angle segment is poised to hold over 35.4% interchangeable lens market share by the end of 2037. The growth in this segment can be attributed to the widespread use of wide-angle lenses, which are essential in the kits of most landscape photographers. These lenses excel at capturing sweeping vistas and starry nights. Beyond landscape photography, they are frequently chosen by architects and real estate photographers to create a sense of space that feels both expansive and impressive. For street photographers, the classic 35 mm focal length is popular since it closely mirrors the world. Additionally, wide-angle lenses are ideal for travel photography, as their shorter focal length offers the flexibility to capture a diverse range of scenes.   Wide-angle lenses are thus, versatile, enabling unique perspectives and creative compositions, appealing to both photographers and videographers seeking distinct visual styles.

Camera Mount (Canon EF Mount, Nikon F Mount, Sony E Mount, Micro Four Thirds Mount, Fujifilm X Mount)

The Canon EF Mount segment in interchangeable lens market is estimated to garner a notable share in the forecast period. The significant market penetration of EF-mount lenses has prompted other camera manufacturers to develop their own EF-mount cameras. This trend is underscored by Canon Inc.'s recent announcements in June 2023, revealing that the company achieved two impressive production milestones: a cumulative total of 110 million EOS Series interchangeable-lens cameras and 160 million RF/EF series interchangeable lenses. Moreover, mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras can use EF lenses with a mechanical adapter that bridges the distance because the EF mount was designed for SLR cameras, which have a long focal flange distance.
