Here are the rankings for the accessories:

A couple of conclusions we can learn from this:

– Sony is steadily increasing their market share in the mirrorless segment
– Sony still has a noticeable 5% gap with Canon in the mirrorless segment
– Sony is only on the third spot in the fixed lens camera segment despite their excellent RX range.
– Sony sells more lenses than Nikon and that’s a big surprise considering the large Nikon DSLR+mirrorless basis
