CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association in Japan) published its 2025 camera production data, and the compact camera segment is the biggest winner:

Full Year 2025 CIPA numbers by ZoetMB

(All comparisons to Full Year 2024)

CIPA has predicted 6.66m ILCs, 1.92m compacts and 10.56m lenses for calendar 2025, a modest increase over 2024.

The year actually came in at 7.002m ILCs, 2.44mm compacts and 10.6m lenses. Last month we projected between 6.93m and 6.98m ILC units, so we were close (but that was only a month ago).

For the 2025 full year:

• DSLR’s were down 31% in units and 36% in shipped value.
• Mirrorless units were up 12% in units and 3% in shipped value.
• Compacts were up 30% in units and 49% in shipped value.
• Lenses for smaller than 35mm sensors were up 8% in units and 19% in shipped value and lenses for 35mm and larger sensors were down 2% in units and down 5% in shipped value.
• The lens to body sales ratio dropped to 1.51 compared to 1.56 a year ago.
