This increases the adoption of IoT devices among the general public, thereby driving the growth of the market.

The COVID-19 outbreak had a positive impact on growth of the IoT in public safety market, owing to rapid adoption of IoT devices among various industries which include government & public sector, manufacturing, healthcare and other for improving the security and safety features of the organization and their employees. Many major industries across the globe are installing thermal cameras and IoT enabled monitoring devices for providing safe and secure working environment for the employees in the pandemic situation. .

Surge in number of smart city projects across the developing nations and rise in adoption of machine learning and AI-based public safety solutions boost the growth of the global IoT in public safety industry. In addition, increasing number of natural calamities and terrorist attacks across the globe positively impacts the IoT in public safety market growth. However, high implementation cost and budget constraint for deploying smart devices are expected to hamper the market growth. On the contrary, growing adoption of IoT technology among various industries is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the market during the forecast period. 

By type, the IoT in public safety market was led by the surveillance systems segment in 2019, and is projected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Increase in need of video surveillance across the developing nations of Asia-Pacific and LAMEA countries for managing and controlling of traffic activities drives the growth of the market in this segment. However, the disaster management segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period, owing to rise in economic loss due to natural disasters, and implementation of government mandates to install disaster management system across various countries for getting early warning of the disasters drives the growth of the market.

Region-wise, the IoT in public safety market was dominated by North America in 2019, and is expected to retain its position during the forecast period. This is attributed to surge in deployment of various smart cities project and government bodies realizing the significance of IoT devices for public safety and security. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, owing to rise in deployment of various IoT devices, such as surveillance system, high-tech communication network, advanced cameras, and others, across the developing nations of Asia-Pacific for integrating new smart city projects.

Impact of COVID-19 on IoT in Public Safety Market:

The IoT in public safety market has witnessed significant growth in the past few years. However, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the market is projected to exhibit sudden rise in 2021. This is attributed to implementation of lockdown by governments in majority of the countries and growing implementation of smart city projects in developing nations across the globe. Furthermore, the IoT in public safety market is projected to prosper in the coming years after the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Various organizations and government institutions are installing different IoT devices for increasing the security of the public and reducing the impact of various natural calamities, thereby providing lucrative opportunity for the market. 

Top impacting factors

Surge in adoption of machine learning and artificial intelligence-based public safety solution

Increase in number of IoT devices across the globe and growth in awareness regarding the benefits of cloud computing technology, such as scalability, flexibility, security, and recovery, are some of the major factors that are expected to drive the adoption of IoT devices. In addition, there is rise in adoption of AI-based solutions among the government and private organizations across the globe to prevent and predict crimes as well as to increase the security of organizations. For instance, law enforcement agencies of New Orleans and Los Angeles in the U.S. have worked with the private sector to create predictive policing programs. These programs use data collected from IoT devices under smart city plans, such as traffic cameras, smartphones, and various devices, to analyze social media posts, outline criminal histories, and trace people’s ties to other gang members. This will use statistics and AI to assess the risk of someone committing or becoming a victim of these crimes so that agencies can intervene. Therefore, such rapid development activities across the globe drive the growth of the market. 

Growing adoption of IoT technology across different industries

Rise in adoption of IoT technology by firms among various industries, such as healthcare, criminal detection, building smart cities, manufacturing industry, and others, is providing lucrative opportunity for the market. Furthermore, growing adoption of new innovation and technologies, such as wearables, home/remote monitoring equipment embedded with IoT, and IoT-enabled hygiene monitoring devices in the healthcare industry, is also increasing the demand for IoT across the industry. Furthermore, with rising crime rate, governments across the developing nations are installing IoT-enabled smart security systems, which are used to capture, store, and analyze continuous video streams. In addition, various industries are installing high-definition cameras, which are used for pattern recognition and motion detection for increasing the security of the companies, thereby enhancing the growth of the market.
