The global tourism market size was estimated over USD 7.5 trillion in 2016 and is projected to increase at a CAGR of over 3% over the next eight years. As consumers prefer digital cameras over smartphones while traveling and during holidays owing to its ability to provide high pixel photos, the growth of the tourism industry is expected to augment the demand for digital devices over the projected period.
In 2016, personal user segment dominates the market, accounting 54.4% of market share in terms of volume. Cameras such as compact ones are mostly utilized for personal use. An increase in tourism is likely to be a key factor driving the personal use segment.
