(library.duke.edu)Photofinishing
2012 revenue: $1.51 billion
2017 revenue: $897.1 million
Competition from digital cameras and camera phones has been a blow to the photofinishing industry which has seen revenue shrink 11.4 percent every year over the last 10 years. The pervasiveness of consumer shift to digital devices and online photo-sharing platforms has seen fewer consumers turn to printing photos.
The photofinishing industry is expected to see revenue fall 9.9 percent per year over the next five years. Eastman Kodak Company which recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection is one of the biggest industry players.

2012 revenue: $3.68 billion
2017 revenue: $3.48 billion
The appliance repair industry has taken a hit since many consumers have opted to buy new household appliances instead of fixing them mostly because the price of household appliances has fallen an annualized rate of 2.4 percent.
The factor most directly responsible for the industry's downturn however has been the increasing trend among manufacturers to offer warranties on new appliances. Improving appliance technologies have also resulted in lower demand for repair services.
Revenue for the industry has fallen 5.7 percent per year on average for the last 10 years. Sears Holdings and Best Buy are some of the biggest appliance repair industry players.
DVD, Game & Video Rental
2012 revenue: $5.89 billion
2017 revenue: $2.80 billion
The DVD, game and video rental industry has taken a hit because of its struggle to adapt to a competitive marketplace and embrace technological developments. Consumers are increasingly opting for streaming, video on demand (VOD) and downloading media.
The industry has seen revenue fall at an average rate of 6.6 percent per year and is expected to fall 13.8 percent per year over the next five years. Coinstar Inc. with its subsidiary Redbox, and DISH Network Corp. are some of the biggest names in the industry.

2012 revenue: $834.4 million
2017 revenue: $799.3 million
The money market and banking industry that is made up of banks owned by non-financial companies and unincorporated banks that are not regulated by the Federal Reserve, took a massive blow during the financial crisis. With no access to TARP many drowned during the recession.

2012 revenue: $29.30 billion
2017 revenue: $23.70 billion
The newspaper and publishing industry has seen revenue decline at an annual rate of 6.4 percent over the past 10 years, driven by competition from web-based competitors. News consumers also seem to favor real-time reporting which has seen advertising revenues for newspapers decline.
Revenue in the industry is expected to decline at an average rate of 4.2 percent per year for the next five years. Gannett Co, Tribune Company and the New York Times Company are some of the biggest industry players.

(Cinram)Recordable media manufacturing
2012 revenue: $4.14 billion
2017 revenue: $3.31 billion
Technological developments have hurt the recordable media manufacturing industry which makes tapes and disks. Consumers first shifted to hard drives, and more recently to online downloading and streaming technologies. This, combined with the access to on-demand digital media, caused industry revenue to fall an average annual rate of 7.4 percent over the past 10 years.
The recordable media manufacturing industry is expected to see its revenue decline at an average rate of 4.4 percent per year over the next five years. Cinram manufacturing and Zomax are the Major players in the recordable media manufacturing industry.
This industry does however have room to grow and develop a niche market since bigger files like 3D movies cannot be supported through current streaming technologies.
(Toolstop)Hardware manufacturing
2012 revenue: $7.48 billion
2017 revenue: $6.63 billion
The rise of low-cost imports is causing a decline in the hardware manufacturing industry. Imports currently account for more than 50 percent of all metal hinges, handles, keys and locks sold in the U.S. compared with 29.3 percent in 2002. Most of these imports come from China, Mexico and Canada.
Stanley, Black & Decker, Assa Abloy, and Ingersoll-Rand Company are the biggest players in the hardware manufacturing industry.

(PRNewswire)Costume and team uniform manufacturing
2012 revenue: $986.7 million
2017 revenue: $889.6 million
Costume and team manufacturing has seen revenue contract at an average annual pace of 6.7 percent over the last decade.
The industry's revenue is down from $2 billion in 2002. The relocation of manufacturing to other countries has hurt industry revenues. Berkshire Hathaway through its subsidiary Russell Corporation is a major player in this industry.
(staxxdowntown via YouTube)Women's and girls apparel manufacturing
2012 revenue: $8.60 billion
2017 revenue: $8.27 billion
The women and girls apparel manufacturing industry has been hit by off-shoring and outsourcing. Revenue is already less that half of what it was in 2012 and has fallen at an average rate of 8.2 percent over the past decade.
There are now 1,196 manufacturing sites making women's and girl's apparel in the U.S., down from 2,272 10 years ago. But there is a silver lining, high-end goods in the industry can't be cheaply produced abroad and have a niche consumer that could help it grow.
Major players in the industry include VF Corporation, Hanesbrands Inc., and Kellwood Company.
