CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association in Japan) published their camera production data for June 2021 (orange: 2021, black: 2020, blue: 2019, click for larger view):
June body shipments are slightly behind May, but well ahead of 2020, so we’ve lost a little ground year-over-year in bodies, but gained ground year-over-year in lenses. Mirrorless now has a 56% unit share of ILC’s and a 76.1% shipped value share.
Based on the first six months and last year’s shipping patterns, we predict a full year estimate of 7.33 million ILC units shipped compared to:
2020: 5.308 million
2019: 8.462 million
2018: 10.76 million
2017: 11.68 million
Canon has predicted a full fiscal year industry estimate of 6 million units and they claim they’ll take 50% of that.
Note that Nikon will announce Q1 fiscal 2022 results August 5th, 3PM Japanese time.
