View industry report for Europe

Europe’s Optical Instrument and Photographic Equipment Manufacturing industry has experienced notable growth driven by increasing demand for optical instruments in the medical and scientific sectors. Technological innovation in medical devices using optical systems has boosted demand, particularly for endoscopy systems, microscopes and optical tomography systems for biomedical research. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases and greater demand for healthcare services due to ageing European populations have also boosted demand for optical instruments and lenses. The industry continues to face challenges like competition from imported products, particularly from countries like China, with cost advantages, pressuring profitability for European manufacturers. The widespread adoption of smartphones has, on the one hand, driven demand for blue light and computer lenses but also caused a dramatic decline in demand for traditional photographic equipment like digital cameras. Revenue in Europe’s Optical and Photographic Equipment Manufacturing industry has contracted at a compound annual rate of 0.5% over the five years through 2024, declining by 1.6% to €20.1 billion in 2024. Manufacturers in France, Germany and Spain are trying to counter the decline in camera sales by offering specialised features and high-performance cameras targeted at professional photographers.
