Canon interim business report: Imaging Business Unit sales down 17.8%



Canon's interim business report is out - the Imaging System Business Unit sales are down 17.8%:

Sales of digital cameras decreased as a whole, although sales of EOS Kiss M remained strong in a market that continued to shrink. Sales of inkjet printers decreased due to market shrinkage despite our sales efforts based on the enhancement of product lineups, particularly the lineup of refillable ink tank models, which were experiencing relatively high demand. As a result, sales for this business unit decreased by 17.8% on a consolidated basis, in comparison to the first half of the previous term.
