DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Stock Images Market - Strategic Assessment and Forecast 2017-2022" report to their offering.

The global stock images market will grow at a CAGR of 7.37% during 2016-2022.

The digital revolution has been spearheading the shift from traditional print publication to online versions of digital images in the last one decade. The exponential growth of the Internet and social media platforms has led to the creation of small-scale enterprises that have business models completely based on the Internet and social networks. These businesses are driving demand for stock images online. The demand for stock images is witnessing a rapid growth because of the growing number of websites. As advances in technology have reduced the effort and cost of creation, licensing and the use of images, low-priced images have largely penetrated the market, making it feasible for small customers to easily buy stock images.

The report outlines the major market share holders and the market size analysis of all the regions and provides the market size and forecast of key countries. North America represents the largest stock image market. Europe accounts for nearly 37% of the market share of the stock image market. The APAC is one of the fastest growing regions of the stock image market. With high population, especially in India and China and increasing number of social media users, the market is lucrative for advertisers. Thus, the demand for these images for the social media advertisements is expected to increase exponentially. In many regions in RoW, the internet penetration is low, which reduces the reach to the social media. However, in the middle eastern countries, the internet penetration is high and so are the number of internet users.
