What might be behind the 2024 deterioration?
- Higher input and logistics costs outpacing price/mix improvements.
- Increased marketing and sales-promotion spend to defend share.
- Up-front R&D/product investments that have not yet translated into revenue.
Many camera and lens makers have posted healthier results in recent years, suggesting OM Digital’s challenges may be structural or timing-related rather than industry-wide. Continued sales growth and disciplined cost control will be key if the company is to return to operating profitability.
Figures for 2024 are expectations cited from Nikkei’s Industry Map 2026; final reported results may differ.
