Global Camera Stabilizer Market Expected to Reach $5.3 Billion by 2026

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Camera Stabilizer Market by Type, Application and Sales Channel: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019–2026," the global camera stabilizer market size was $3.7 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $5.3 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 4.7% from 2019 to 2026.

Increase in demand for high-quality camera stabilizer in terms of axis stabilization and light weight has been witnessed across the globe. Consumers are shifting their preference from enhanced camera stabilizers particularly for smartphones, thereby fostering the rise in demand for camera stabilizer

The improvement in camera stabilization technology not only provides the base feature but also builds on the existing technology. It provides augmented features such as modular camera stabilizers and inclusion of gyroscope, which is expected to provide opportunities for growth in the coming years. Moreover, increase in the adoption of camera stabilizers for smartphones with feature cameras is also expected to create lucrative opportunities for the engaged stakeholders in the camera stabilizer industry.

A number of modern-day cameras and smartphones come with an inbuilt motion stabilization option. The smartphone cameras often utilize Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), which reduces the blurriness in images and videos caused by irregular motion. Optical Image Stabilization is also used in some compact cameras and SLR lenses as a method to have a clearer and sharper image. (EIS) Electronic image stabilization is another technique used to compensate for hand jitters that manifests itself in distracting video shake during playback. Many smartphone apps have also been developed to overcome blurriness in the images. Given the variety of cheaper options available over camera stabilizers, the sales of camera stabilizers may take a hit.
