Conventional Camera Market Likely to Plunge in Next Decade

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0e56aa/photographic_suppl) has announced the addition of the "Photographic Supplies - Global Market Trends" report to their offering.

With the dawn of the new digital era, the market for conventional cameras and films is expected to witness drastic declines over the next decade, more so in the case of developed and matured markets such as US, Western Europe and Japan. As the digital substitution proliferates, the consumption of photographic films and prints made from film images is likely to plunge further over the decade. Sales of digital cameras and camera phones are growing at rapid pace across the world, thereby leading to the downfall of traditional camera sales that use photographic films and papers for taking photos.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Photographic Supplies: Global Market Trends" by BizAcumen, Inc. This report is designed to be the most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
