Japanese market share analysis: Sony and Fuji on the rise, Canon and OM Digital decline

Share

According to BCNranking Sony increased it’s mirrorless market share on the Japanese market up to 34%. Canon had a slight decline down to 22% and Fuji is getting closer to Canon at 20%. There has been a quite dramatic sales drop for OM Digital which is somewhat to be expected after the transition. What’s really worth to be noted: Nikon is far behind all of those companies. Quite worrisome!
