In terms of manufacturer share, Sony is the leader. E-mount lenses for mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras are performing well, maintaining a stable high market share of over 20%. The average unit price is in the high 80,000 yen range, which is the highest level among major manufacturers and is performing well. Second place and below are fierce battles.
