Top Impacting Factors 

The global gimbal market share is primarily driven by increase in production of video content. Significant growth in the entertainment and media sector and rise in preference for high-quality videos have impelled creators to develop their cinematography skills by using advanced camera accessories that aids in capturing high-definition (HD) shots with stable motion. 

Furthermore, rise in penetration of high-speed internet fuels demand for high-quality videos, and subsequently necessitates use of a gimbal while capturing a video. In addition, growth in popularity of social media platforms, such as YouTube and Instagra offers remunerative opportunities for creators. Consequently, it has resulted in intense competition among content creators for providing premium quality videos and images to their audience, which has significantly facilitated the gimbal market growth.

Surge in Growth of Entertainment Industry

The film industry is forseen as one of the major and most lucrative categories in the global entertainment industry. It produces numerous films annually. It is expected that this promising outlook of the film and entertainment industry would drive demand for electronic gimbal system to achieve perfect shots and videos. The global market growth can be attributed to rise in production of different genres of video content on both TV and big screen. 

Rapid technological changes, business models, and consumer behavior have changed consumer perception, experience and pay for entertainment and media. The market leaders in this industry also focus on building fan-focused businesses and brands to actively produce outstanding content. As a result, these market players invest on technologies and equipment such as computer-generated image (CGI) and visual effects (VFX), as well as a variety of different cameras and peripherals, including gimbal system.

Increase in Demand For Intelligent Surveillance

UAV highly influences security and surveillance by minimizing risks economically and effectively. UAV surveillance technology experiences rapid development, and several market players are investing in production of surveillance purposes drones. Gimbals assist the cameras attached on drones or UAVs to provide security without any disruption of weather or vibrations. As a result, surveillance drones are increasingly used in commercial and public sectors. 

Drone surveillance is ultimate solution for providing safety and security of large group of population or even sensitive locations. As intelligent surveillance is an ideal tool for security in real-time situation, its increasing demand drives the growth of the gimbal industry.
