• Industry Outlook
• The film camera industry lately has made a global
  resurgence, subjugating may social media
  platforms of its yet feeble but strong existence,
  for instance, on Instagram, it has been thriving
  with the hashtag filmisnotdead, and creating a
  tsunami of trends within the indie and hipster
  communities. The film cameras by definition, is a
  chemical emulsion on a plastic substrate that is
  sensitive to light and exposes photographic film
  to light in order to take a picture.

• It has been in use since the late 1800s. They can
  also be defined as analog cameras which when
  exposed forms an analogous image of the scene.
  There are specialties of film cameras available
  in the market depending on their size, quality,
  specifications, etc. The film camera market has
  witnessed considerable decline since the past few
  years starting from the Great Recession period of
  2009, where the economy went down to significant
  depths.
• Owing to the tragedy in Japan, the market for
  DSLR film cameras has went down the drain because
  of the steady increase of the current models and
  many of them becoming sparse, giving lease
  opportunities to the film cameras to be backed up
  in the market again. The photography market is
  expected to witness phenomenal growth in the
  developing markets of India and China due to the
  increment of the earning capacity of the
  consumers. Moreover, the Japanese economy is
  expected to spend comprehensively on the RD of
  the camera products and on the new innovations.

• The market segmentation has been typified based
  on the product size, product type and
  application. The product type is inclusive of
  35mm, Advantix, 120, 220 and the larger 4x5 and
  8x10 formats. It can be further segmented on the
  basis of consumer segment, varied price ranges
  such as premium, mid-size, and low price range,
  and as well as on the basis of distribution
  channel which are inclusive of multi brand,
  single brand and online store. Film movie cameras
  capture consecutive images (frames) on 8mm, 16mm
  and 35mm film.
• Acquainted with the fact that the world economy
  enlarged by just 2.2 per cent in the year 2016,
  and is anticipated to further extend by only 2.7
  per cent in 2017 and reach till 2.9 per cent in
  2018, it can be concluded that the market is
  witnessing a stagnant growth, connoting a state
  of economic stabilization instead of robust
  revival of the global demand. Moreover, the
  correspondence between the demand, investment,
  trade and productivity may lead to the self-
  perpetuation of the Film camera industry
  supported with the weak global growth.

• Drivers and Constraints
• With the increasingly popular and kind of a
  hybrid marriage between the analog and the
  digital, pixels and rolls, Light room and
  darkrooms, has led to the beginning of a
  potentially interesting trend. Although the film
  is not dead, but there have certainly been some
  utter concerns about the development of the
  industry with the consumers expressing their
  lasting commitment to the traditional format
  through mobile apps language. Some of the
  significant drivers identified behind the
  stagnant growth of the film camera market are low
  penetration, increasing disposable income,
  increasing social media, increasing tourism, and
  increasing advertising. Despite the decent
  growth, major photo companies have experienced
  harsh setbacks in film product sales
  particularly in color with a dramatic impact on
  production triggering a domino effect that has
  ultimately fallen on customers. The use of
  substitute products like mobile cameras,
  technological advancements like mirror-less
  camera, 3D camera and increased functionality
  like GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi etc., are acting as
  restraint to growth.

The Film Camera Wholesaling industry is further
anticipated to contract over the next few years,
characterized by an ongoing trend of
consolidation and facility closures, as well as
an annualized decrease in the industry's
contribution to the overall economy (IVA). The
innovation of the digital photography and the
introduction of the iPhone and other camera
equipped smart phones, have additionally aided to
the film cameras being substituted by them. The
significant market players identified to help
push the sales of the product include Canon,
CONTAX, Fujifilm, Hasselblad, Holga, Kodak,
Konica Minolta, Leica, Lomography, Mamiya, Nikon,
Olympus, Pentax, Polaroid and Rollei. These
companies are further focusing on the innovative
development of the product and of new ways to
bring in the trend of film photography back.
