Digital Camera Shipments to Rise by 20.8% in 2005


Tokyo's Camera and Imaging Products Assoc forcasts that global digital camera shipments will increase by 20.8% (not 20.7% or 20.9%...) in 2005.

'According to the CIPA report, digital camera shipments in 2005 are expected to grow 20.8% from the previous year to 72.2 million units. Digicam shipments are expected to continue to increase, but the growth rate is projected to drop by about 17 points, compared to 2004. Global shipments of digital cameras in 2004 rose 37.7% to 59.77 million units.

CIPA also released figures for digital camera shipments in December 2004. The value of global shipments dropped 2.2% year-over-year to US$1.13 billion, while the volume of global shipments grew year-over-year at 4.5 million unit levels. The CIPA stats show that the value of monthly digicam shipments declined for the first time since January 2001, when CIPA started to calculate year-over-year comparisons.'
