For example, in July 2025, Perspectives from the Global Entertainment & Media (PwC), a UK-based professional services firm, reported that E&M revenues reached US$2.8 trillion in 2023 and increased by 5.5% to US$2.9 trillion. Total E&M revenue is projected to continue rising over the next five years. Therefore, the growth of the film and television industry is driving the high dynamic range (HDR) video camera market.

Leading companies in the HDR video camera market are prioritizing the development of innovative technologies such as high-magnification zoom lenses to enhance visual quality. A high-magnification zoom lens allows users to capture both distant and close-up subjects without changing lenses, providing greater versatility. For instance, in March 2024, Nikon Corporation, a Japan-based photographic equipment manufacturer, introduced the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR, a high-magnification zoom lens compatible with the Nikon Z mount system. This lens incorporates vibration reduction (VR) technology to ensure sharp and stable images, even at extended focal lengths or in low-light environments. Additionally, it features advanced optical elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and deliver high-resolution, edge-to-edge clarity. Designed to be compact and lightweight, the lens offers enhanced portability, making it an ideal choice for photographers and videographers seeking flexibility without compromising image quality.

In April 2024, Nikon Corporation, a Japan-based manufacturer of optical and photographic equipment, acquired full ownership of RED.com LLC (RED) for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Nikon aims to expand its presence in the professional cinema and video production market, leveraging RED.com’s expertise in high-performance digital cinema cameras. The integration of advanced technologies such as HDR imaging and 8K video capabilities into Nikon’s product lineup will cater to the growing demand for cutting-edge video production tools. RED.com LLC, a US-based company, specializes in manufacturing professional digital cameras and accessories for the cinematography industry.

A high dynamic range (HDR) video camera is a specialized device designed to capture video with an extended dynamic range, providing greater detail in both bright and dark areas of an image. These cameras use advanced technology to merge multiple exposures, resulting in richer colors and enhanced contrast, closely mimicking the human eye’s perception of light.

The primary types of HDR video cameras include DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, and camcorders. DSLR cameras use a mirror mechanism to reflect light from the lens to the viewfinder, enabling photographers to see exactly what the lens captures while offering high-quality imaging, interchangeable lenses, and advanced manual controls. HDR video cameras are available in various resolutions, including 4K HDR and 8K HDR, and are distributed through channels such as online stores, specialty camera stores, and electronics retailers. They are widely used in applications such as film and television production, sports broadcasting, gaming and virtual reality, and more, serving both professionals and enthusiasts.North America was the largest region in the high dynamic range (HDR) video camera market in 2025.
