The import of cameras for 35 mm roll film, excluding single lens reflex, to the US shows a steep decline from 2024 onwards. Starting from 162.63 thousand kilograms in 2024, the volume is projected to decrease to 28.12 thousand kilograms by 2028. From 2023 to 2024, the year-on-year decline is notable, and this downward trend continues, with a cumulative annual growth rate that reflects a sharp reduction in imports.

Future Trends to Watch For:

Continued shift towards digital photography and smartphones could further reduce demand for traditional film cameras.
Potential niche resurgence or enthusiast market appreciation, though unlikely to reverse the general downward trend significantly.
Environmental and sustainability concerns influencing film and chemical processing, possibly affecting market dynamics.
