What These Nikon Statistics Show
Nikon is still a diversified precision technology company, but imaging remains a major contributor. In FY2025, Imaging Products generated ¥295.3 billion in revenue, which was just over two-fifths of Nikon’s total company revenue.
The more recent outlook also shows a mixed picture. Nikon’s latest FY2026 company-wide revenue forecast is lower than FY2025, while its Imaging Products Business forecast remains comparatively resilient at ¥290.0 billion with expected sales of 900 thousand cameras and 1.30 million lenses.
