Sony Electronics improves to no. 2 position in U.S. Full-frame Interchangeable Lens Camera Market

Sony Electronics, a worldwide leader in digital imaging and the world’s largest image sensor manufacturer, has announced that their continued growth has vaulted them into the no. 2 overall position in the U.S. full-frame interchangeable lens camera market.

Sony’s interchangeable lens cameras and lenses have seen record sales in 2017, in particular within the U.S. full-frame camera market, where they have experienced double-digit growth (+23%) 2 compared to the same period last year. The popularity of key models including α7RII and α7SII has been paramount to this success.

Additionally, Sony’s rapid growth has helped to drive growth of the overall full-frame interchangeable lens camera market compared to the same period last year. Without Sony’s contributions, the full-frame market would be facing a slight decline. 3

“Our commitment to the industry is stronger than ever,” said Neal Manowitz, VP of Digital Imaging at Sony North America. “We are always listening to our customers, combining their feedback with our intense passion for innovation to deliver products, services and support like no other.”
