Innovation will always play a key part in Canon, and maintaining the No.1 share of the global market for the 15th year in a row is a testament to our efforts. We are among the top three in patent submissions globally, and we will continuously push the boundaries of imaging technology to pioneer new experiences and creative opportunities that will deliver value to our customers and equip them to be story tellers today and in the future.” said Somesh Adukia, Sales and Marketing Director B2C, Canon Central and North Africa (CCNA).
