The global digital camcorders market size is expected to reach USD 3.6 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 10.4% over the forecast period. Rising interest of the common mass in capturing important moments of their life is driving the market. It is also supported by the easy advanced mechanism of these devices, which makes it easy for a common man to handle, record, charge, and store the recordings. Manufacturers have been supporting the trend by innovating the product to simplify its mechanism and improve its video quality.
Shifting trend towards innovating the standby capacity of the battery, the resolution of the video, and the storage capacity of the device has changed the industry scenario completely. Fine HD and UHD quality videos can be recorded using small and easily portable devices. These factors have promoted their use in recording grand celebrations like wedding ceremonies, birthdays, as well as regular day to day incidents, such as the first-time babies, walk or talk or ride bicycles. It has become an important element for tourism and camping. People prefer saving moments from these and taking them back as memorabilia.
