Market Overview:
The global optical viewfinders market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for optical viewfinders in various applications, such as online sales and offline sales. In addition, the growing adoption of digital photography is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, factors such as the high cost of optical viewfinders and their limited use in some applications are restraining its growth. On the basis of type, LED screen-based optical viewfinders are expected to dominate this market during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. This can be attributed to their low cost and high efficiency when compared with LCD screen-based optical viewfinders.
Product Definition:
An optical viewfinder is an apparatus that helps users to accurately aim a camera or other device while looking through a eyepiece. It employs one or more optical elements, such as lenses, to form an image of the scene in front of the camera that is then presented to the user's eye. This image can be used to manually focus on a specific point in the scene and/or determine framing for compositions.
LED Screen:
LED screens are the upcoming technology in viewfinders market owing to their several advantages over traditional LCD screens. LED screen has a high contrast ratio, consumes less power and is highly durable as compared to other technologies. These factors are expected to drive the demand for LED screen in optical viewfinders market during the forecast period.
Adoption of digital cameras with optical viewfinder has been increasing significantly due to its various benefits such as instant photography, easy picture sharing on social media sites.
LCD Screen:
An LCD screen is a display device that utilizes liquid crystal technology to convert the image signal from a digital camera or video recorder for viewing on the screen. The major advantage of an optical viewfinder over an LCD viewfinder is that in optical finders, the image seen on the screen remains fixed while focusing whereas in LCD screens, images change according to how far you adjust your lens.
Application Insights:
The offline sales application segment dominated the global market in 2017. Offline sales involve a face-to-face interaction between a customer and an optical finders retailer. Optical finders are used by retailers for assisting in visualizing the size of products displayed in store windows, helping customers to understand the actual size of products, and providing information about availability and price of items. The online sales application is projected to be one of the fastest growing segments over the forecast period owing to increasing adoption across various industries such as retail, e-commerce, automotive etc. Optical finders aid users while making purchases on different online stores by displaying product details such as name, image etc.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the presence of prominent players such as Nikon Corporation; Carl Zeiss AG; and Micro Four Thirds Inc. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing adoption of advanced technologies, high disposable income, and growing demand for compact cameras with optical viewfinders.
Asia Pacific is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising product demand from offline and online sales across countries such as China, Japan, India, South Korea & Taiwan.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for smartphones and tablets
- Rising demand from the photography enthusiasts
- Growing popularity of optical viewfinders in action cameras
- Technological advancements in optical viewfinder designs
- Rising adoption of digital imaging technologies
