CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association in Japan) published their latest camera production data (orange: 2023, black: 2022, blue: 2021):
July 2023 CIPA numbers by ZoetMB
July shipped units were the best of the year for DSLRs and Mirrorless bodies and 2nd best of the year for compacts, although a little ground was lost on cumulative mirrorless units compared to YTD last year and mirrorless body share inexplicably dropped slightly by 0.3%. Shipped value was the best of the year for DSLRs and 2nd best of the year for Mirrorless.
CIPA predicted 5.72 million DSLR and Mirrorless bodies and 9.39 million lenses for calendar 2023. We’re predicting 5.5 to 6m bodies, slightly more than last month on the low end,
