Sparta, NJ—The number of photos captured globally has continued to grow after a decline caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. In fact, research firm Rise Above Research now estimates that 1.6 trillion photos will be taken in 2023.

1.6 Trillion Photos

The 1.6-trillion-captured-photos milestone represents a 7.5% increase over the 2022 numbers. Furthermore, the research firm expects that growth will continue, and that the popularity of smartphones will drive that growth.

“Photography is more popular than ever, when you consider the huge volumes of photos that are being taken every day. People are taking and sharing more photos than ever before in history. Moreover, those numbers continue to rise, driven by smartphones and sharing via texting, social media and email. Photos are a primary means of communication.” said David Haueter, director and founder of Rise Above Research.

As the number of photos taken continues to rise, so does the number of photos that are stored. Rise Above Research also estimates that consumers/photographers will store close to 10 trillion photos worldwide in 2023. They will do so on handsets, the cloud as well as other storage media.
