The growing sports events market is notably driving the market growth. Sports events are a major application in the commercial photography services segment. The growth in the number of sports events and concerts market being held across the world and the consequent increase in the global sports event market is driving the demand for photography services. In sports events, professional photography service providers are hired by the organizers to document on-the-field action as part of their publicity or marketing strategies, to record special or historical images, such as breaking a record, for posterity, and for promoting forthcoming events.
Further, the growth in the number of sports events is majorly attributed to the enhanced interest among people in different sports events across the globe. This has further fueled the sports tourism market across the globe. This has encouraged sports event organizers to market and advertise their sports events on a wide scale across the globe to attract more spectators and participants. Thus, a growing number of sports events is expected to drive the global market growth during the forecast period.
The growing use of technologically advanced devices for photography is an emerging trend in the market. The use of technologically advanced photography equipment in photography services ensures the production of highly defined and featured photographs. Furthermore, it will improve the quality of service, which, in turn, will drive the adoption of photography services across the globe.
Earlier, photographers used to face several environmental issues, such as adverse weather (windy or foggy) and improper sunlight conditions during photography sessions, which encouraged photography equipment manufacturers to introduce several distinct and advanced equipment to address these concerns. Thus, the use of advanced photography equipment not only improves the quality of the photographs but also encourages photographers to offer add-ons for their products. Therefore, such factors are expected to spur the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
The high maintenance costs involved in photography equipment are major challenges impeding the market. Photography services require the use of equipment such as cameras, tripods, and lights. However, the need for continuous support and upgrades from the manufacturers and marketers of such photography equipment is a challenge for the global photography equipment market. Photography service providers must receive consistent support and services in order to ensure improved image quality, improved performance efficiency, as well the effective performance of digital cameras and their accessories.
Furthermore, owing to such factors, a few camera manufacturers partner with third parties to offer after-sales services and support to camera users. However, it is not necessary that these third parties may meet the expectations of the photography service providers. Therefore, vendors of photography services must choose appropriate third-party vendors that can offer consistent support in order to achieve excellence in operations. Therefore, these factors will hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
