Survey Shows Decline in Film Processing
The PMA Processing Survey Highlights and Overview through July 2003 found
that consumer film processing in the U.S. declined by 10 percent during
the year ended in July 2003. The decline in processing activity reflects
weakness in all four regions of the country. Rising sales of digital
cameras may be limiting traditional processing activity, particularly
since these cameras were present in one in five U.S. households at the
end of 2002.
