Stock photography refers to the supply of photographs, which are often licensed for specific purposes such as magazine publishing or pamphlet-making. Traditional stock photo agencies have large catalogues that may include press archives and works by notable photographers. More recent trends in microstock photography include "lifestyle" photographs of people "at work and play," food, sports, and fashion. Other stock photo themes may include stereotypes, expressing common emotions and gesticulations, pets, and images related to travel and tourism.
Market Dynamics
Among license segment, popularity of royalty managed (RM) images is fading due to its high cost and complex licensing process. For instance, in late 2019, Getty Images, the largest player offering RM images in the license segment announced that it was going to steadily drop its RM creative collection in 2021 to focus on its RF offering. While there are quite a few small and mid-sized agencies that offer RM images, the growth of the segment is slowing down.
Among source segment, Macrostock is expected to hold the largest market share. Market is moving slowly towards promotional content which is specifically made for the customers and companies, who are focusing to make personalized images for their clients. This trend will drive growth of macrostock agencies.
