The year-on-year variation saw a continual downward trend with a few exceptions, such as a jump in 2016, but overall reflected a decreasing market.
In the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028, the market is expected to continue this declining trend sharply.

Future trends to watch for include technological advancements driving a shift away from traditional photographic cameras, increased integration of camera functionalities in other devices, and changes in consumer behavior reflecting a stronger preference for multipurpose digital devices. These underlying factors will likely continue to impact the import volumes significantly.
