Confirming the negative trend of Axis recent slowing growth and now shrinking sales, IMS latest report demonstrates that Axis market share in network cameras is falling.

In 2007, IMS reports Axis having a 33.5% market share for network cameras. However, in 2008, IMS is reporting that Axis market share dropped to 31.2%.
