Video Surveillance Market

Video Surveillance Market Outlook - 2027

The global video surveillance market was valued at $42.94 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $144.85 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 14.6% from 2020 to 2027.

A digital video surveillance system is a surveillance system that captures images and videos, which can be compressed, stored, or sent over communication networks. It can be used in any environment. Security and surveillance are required for all organizations worldwide. Governments, enterprises, financial institutions, and healthcare organizations are expected and required to have a certain level of security and monitoring measures. As a result, there has been a dramatic increase in the demand for security applications such as video surveillance to monitor and record borders, ports, transportation infrastructure, corporate houses, educational institutes, public places, buildings, and others.

 On account of increase in adoption of advanced surveillance by the government sector, manufacturers have realized the need for optimum IP surveillance systems. There are many advantages that an IP camera CCTV system offers over an analog format. IP security cameras send their signals over a network, allowing greater information transfer than an analog signal sent to a digital video recorder (DVR). Network cameras can be wireless and still work through a network and are used in big departmental stores, food chains, malls, factory, work shop, and many other public places to keep a check of the activities. This factor is expected to significantly affect the video surveillance market size globally.

According to video surveillance market trends, China uses next-generation surveillance system to catch speedy drivers. The surveillance network is enabled with artificial intelligence, which differentiates by spotting minute differences between cars. The camera and monitoring system facilitated with artificial intelligence is a part of “Sky Net” operation is China’s anti-corruption program mainly aimed to track down fugitives. Around 170 million surveillance cameras are estimated to be present in China. By 2020, the country hopes to have 570 million speed cameras to help develop a database that will recognize any citizen within three seconds.

Rise in need of safety in high-risk areas, surge in transition from analog surveillance to IP cameras, and integration of Internet-of-Things boost the growth of the global video surveillance market. However, factors such as high investment cost and lack of professional expertise in handling IP cameras, hamper the market growth. Furthermore, increase in trends toward development of smart cities is expected to offer lucrative video surveillance market opportunity for expansion.

These key players have adopted strategies, such as product portfolio expansion, mergers & acquisitions, agreements, geographical expansion, and collaborations, to enhance their video surveillance market share.

Top Impacting Factors

The notable factors positively affecting the video surveillance market growth include rise in need of safety in high-risk areas, surge in transition from analog to IP cameras, and integration of IoT in surveillance cameras. However, high investments such as initial installment investment and large data storage problems, with lack of professional expertise in handling IP cameras incur extra cost for the devices. This factor is expected to hinder the market growth. Moreover, emerging trends toward development of smart cities offer huge market opportunities in the coming years.

Growth in transition from analog surveillance to IP Cameras

Internet protocol (IP) surveillance is a digitalized and networked version of CCTV system, which is rapidly becoming the most flexible and future-proof option for security and surveillance systems. The IP surveillance system is made up of two components—IP-based camera that records video content using a network video recorder (NVR) and video surveillance platform that captures and distributes the video content through the network. IP cameras are preferred for large installation sites that already have a high bandwidth network installed. IP surveillance cameras offer various benefits over analog surveillance such as real-time surveillance, remote accessibility, digital zooming capability, lower operational & infrastructure cost, greater integration potential, ease of data distribution, easy installation, and adjustable frame rates which boost the growth of the video surveillance market globally.

Increase in privacy concern

According to video surveillance market analysis, usage of video surveillance cameras has increased globally during the recent years. Advanced video surveillance cameras are equipped with technologies, which allow the user to transfer data in an effective and efficient manner. However, this feature potentially compromises the privacy of the situation, which has been tapped or recorded. There are various malicious activities being carried out through the seamless transfer of video recordings and clips to unauthorized users. This can be dangerous to the privacy of an individual who allows his/her activity to be tapped. Criminal activities such as blackmailing, is very common when it comes to misuse or leakage of personal information. This is considered to be a potential threat to the video surveillance market. Therefore, the current system requires a technology, which is designed not only to protect the privacy of the content but also to avoid its abusive usage by using techniques such as encryption, and authorization control mechanism.

Increase in adoption towards spy and hidden cameras

Video surveillance cameras record people’s activities to detect and prevent suspicious activities. Companies are developing products with enhanced technologies to promote the seamless usage, which can be used in variety of situations and circumstances. Increase in adoption of small cameras such as dash cams, hidden spy cameras, motion activated hidden camera, and hidden camera lock in various industry verticals are promoting its growth globally. Manufacturers promote the use of spy cameras for various applications with the advent of AI, BIG data analytics, cloud computing, and face recognition options. Spy cameras are being used by consumers to keep a track on people or environment, without their knowledge. These cameras are being used at gas pumps, retail stores, classrooms, labs, and offices to tape any suspecting activity. All these factors, promote the usage of spy and hidden cameras and are expected to be opportunistic for the growth of the video surveillance market.
