AI Predicts Canon’s Downfall: Report Raises Red Flags!

Okay, we have the Canon Global Sales Report [2023-24 financial year] published in July 2024 by Japan’s Nikki  News Magazine [source], and these are the details we have from that particular report.

The second report is from the previous year [2022-23 financial year], sourced from the website Statistica.com. [source]

Both reports are from reputable sources. Now we have also added a third year of Global sales stats  [2021-22 financial year] to make the entire report more perfect and more accurate 

However, the top 5 and the market share, are shown in the table below: source cameraprism.com

Position Brand Market Share 2021 Market Share 2022 Change
1 Canon 47.9% 46.5% ↓ 1.4%
2 Sony 22.1% 26.1% ↑ 4.0%
3 Nikon 13.7% 11.7% ↓ 2.0%
4 FUJIFILM 5.6% 5.8% ↑ 0.2%
5 Panasonic 4.4% 4.2% ↓ 0.2%

We have asked AI to predict the future sales report based on our existing reports for 2021-22, 22-23 and 2023-24[FY] of the global camera manufacturer market share, take a look at the results we have

We have added Three Years of sales Data to the report, and then this report has been generated

Creating a prediction report for the next 10 years based on the provided market share data from 2021 to 2023 involves identifying trends in the market shares of each company and projecting these trends forward. Here’s a simplified approach to predict the market shares:

  1. Identify the trend for each company: Calculate the average annual change in market share for each company based on the provided data.
  2. Project the trend forward: Apply the average annual change to project the market shares for the next 10 years.

Let’s start by calculating the average annual change for each company from 2021 to 2023:

Calculation of Annual Change

Canon:

  • 2021 to 2022: 46.5% – 47.9% = -1.4%
  • 2022 to 2023: 41.2% – 46.5% = -5.3%
  • Average annual change: (-1.4% + -5.3%) / 2 = -3.35%

Sony:

  • 2021 to 2022: 26.1% – 22.1% = +4.0%
  • 2022 to 2023: 32.1% – 26.1% = +6.0%
  • Average annual change: (+4.0% + +6.0%) / 2 = +5.0%

Nikon:

  • 2021 to 2022: 11.7% – 13.7% = -2.0%
  • 2022 to 2023: 13.2% – 11.7% = +1.5%
  • Average annual change: (-2.0% + +1.5%) / 2 = -0.25%

Fuji:

  • 2021 to 2022: 5.8% – 5.6% = +0.2%
  • 2022 to 2023: 8.1% – 5.8% = +2.3%
  • Average annual change: (+0.2% + +2.3%) / 2 = +1.25%

Panasonic:

  • 2021 to 2022: 4.3% – 4.4% = -0.1%
  • 2022 to 2023: 4.5% – 4.3% = +0.2%
  • Average annual change: (-0.1% + +0.2%) / 2 = +0.05%

Others:

  • 2021 to 2022: 5.6% – 5.5% = +0.1%
  • 2022 to 2023: 5.2% – 5.6% = -0.4%
  • Average annual change: (+0.1% + -0.4%) / 2 = -0.15%

Projections for 2024 to 2033

Following this method, we can project the market shares for the next 10 years. Here is the complete projection:

FINAL RESULT – complete projection BASED on the Sales report

Year Canon Sony Nikon Fuji Panasonic Others
2024 37.85% 37.1% 12.95% 9.35% 4.55% 5.05%
2025 34.50% 42.10% 12.70% 10.60% 4.60% 4.90%
2026 31.15% 47.10% 12.45% 11.85% 4.65% 4.75%
2027 27.80% 52.10% 12.20% 13.10% 4.70% 4.60%
2028 24.45% 57.10% 11.95% 14.35% 4.75% 4.45%
2029 21.10% 62.10% 11.70% 15.60% 4.80% 4.30%
2030 17.75% 67.10% 11.45% 16.85% 4.85% 4.15%
2031 14.40% 72.10% 11.20% 18.10% 4.90% 4.00%
2032 11.05% 77.10% 10.95% 19.35% 4.95% 3.85%
2033 7.70% 82.10% 10.70% 20.60% 5.00% 3.70%

Final Observations | Conclusion and VERDICT

  • If the observed trends continue, Canon’s market share will significantly decrease, reaching Less than 10% by 2033.

PS: even if we use the past three years of the Global sales report, it doesn’t seem Canon is doing any good.

  • Sony’s market share will see a substantial increase, reaching over 80% by 2034.
  • Nikon, Fuji and Panasonic will continue to grow steadily

Note that these predictions are based on a linear trend and real-world factors of the 202-2023 and 2023-2024 global sales report, . Changes in technology, market dynamics, new entrants, and other external factors could influence these trends.

TNC exclusive: Edititors space

This report should not be taken seriously in any context since these are analyses done by AI, the artificial intelligence. At the same time, the details of these analyses are generated based on the past two years of global sales reports, which may fluctuate based on the offers from camera makers to their consumers. For example, if Canon opens their lens mount, we may see a significant increase in the global sales share percentage of Canon cameras as well as their lenses. Similarly, if any other brand like Nikon or Sony introduces a new line of cinema cameras or dedicated cameras for content creators, they may raise their own market share. Therefore, these predictions are not always accurate when based on limited data, especially when there are many factors involved. Consider this report just as a reference.

Canon R1 Press Release | Major Features

We have the Canon R1 flagship camera officially arrived. The camera features a 24-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor and a maximum continuous shooting speed of 40 frames per second. We can see some major upgrades from the Canon R3 camera, but more or less, it doesn’t directly compete against the Nikon Z9 and the Alpha A1.

Instead of naming this camera R1, it’s better to name it Canon R3 Mark II considering the level of updates and the set of specifications we are getting. It’s very similar to the existing R3 camera with a significant upgrade loaded over it.

Overall, it’s an excellent camera for photojournalists as well as sports shooters. But for wildlife photographers, the R5 Mark II is more recommended, as well as for professional wedding, portrait, and fashion photographers, and even for landscape and street style shooters. The R1 camera approach remains limited to photojournalists as well as sports shooters.

Canon Lays off Rudy: Why This Happened and What It Means

Recently, Canon USA laid off Rudy, a key figure and the face of Canon USA in most announcements over the past few years as well as he was also Canon’s Technical advisor. This layoff is part is not only limited to Rudy, Canon has let go of multiple staff members. The question arises: why has this happened and what was the actual reason behind that ?

Decline in Operating Profit

It was kind of a backfire. Canon suddenly saw a loss of approximately 5% in operating profit compared to the previous year. This is the first time in four years that the profit declined compared to the same period the previous year. What was more devastating is that camera sales dropped for the first time in 2024 in the past 13 years. For Canon, their operating profit was on a downhill path.

what was the actual reason behind that ?

The main issue lies with the Canon policies that they adopted after 2018 during the mirrorless transition. Users were kept waiting for them to open their mount. Some were using the previous DSLR lenses with the help of an adapter, but more or less, by 2023 and 2024, consumers felt that Canon had no intention to open their mount freely to third-party lens makers. This led to great disappointment among them, and now they have started losing their consumer base and loyal customers.

What It Means

So, the 5% decline in operating profit is just the beginning. If Canon fails to provide an open lens mount to its consumer base, its profit will continue on a downhill path. Layoffs, whether of Rudy or anyone else in their camera division, are not the solution. The most important requirement at this time is for Canon to adapt its policies to meet consumer expectations and regain their trust.
