Canon released its FY2025 financial results – here is the section for the Imaging Business:
As for the size of the interchangeable-lens camera market, driven by an increase in new users, especially young people, and by new product launches from various manufacturers, the market reached 6.7 million units in 2025, 300,000 more than the previous year. And in 2026, we expect a further increase of 100,000 units for a total of 6.8 million units.
In the fourth quarter, we posted strong sales of the EOS R6 Mark III, a new full-frame mirrorless camera that we launched in November. We also increased sales of entry-level models during the year-end selling season. Driven by strong demand, sales of compact cameras doubled from the previous year due to increased supply through the further expansion of production. As a result, the overall camera business posted double digit sales growth in the fourth quarter to record an 8% increase for the full year.
In 2026 as well, the number of new camera users, especially younger people, is expected to continue increasing. To capture this demand, we will maintain the growth of our entry level models, such as the EOS R50 and EOS R100, as well as the EOS R50V, which is designed with a strong focus on shooting video. For full frame models, we will increase unit sales, with a focus on the new EOS R6 Mark III. As for lenses, supported by strong camera sales, we will promote sales expansion based on our expanded lineup. For compact cameras, we plan to further increase production in response to the strong demand that continues to generate backorders. This will allow us to significantly increase sales, and for the overall camera business, achieve our target to increase full-year net sales by 8%, which is similar to what we achieved in 2025.
