The global video surveillance market generated a revenue of $32.00 billion in 2017 and is estimated to achieve $36.54 billion in 2018, according to a market intelligence report published by BIS Research.
The video surveillance market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 16.14% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2023 and reach $77.21 billion by 2023. The video surveillance market is expected to grow along with the increasing demand in the camera market, especially for the internet protocol (IP) camera for home and retail security solutions. Over the last few years, adoption of IP cameras has increased, owing to the growing demand for crisp image resolution and perimeter surveillance.
In the past couple of years, the market has witnessed a tremendous growth. Apart from the major players which dominate the market, there are certain new players in the market that are steadily gaining footholds across different regions. These players include CP Plus, Dallmeier, Milestone Systems A/S, IDIS Co. Ltd., Johnson Controls, Zhejiang Uniview Technologies Co., Ltd, Tiandy technologies Co., Ltd, Arecont Vision Costar, LLC, and Genetec Ltd., among others.
The video surveillance industry is likely to be influenced by future trends such as the adoption of multi-sensor cameras, better cybersecurity, implementation of IoT based video analytics, integration of artificial intelligence, and cloud computing.
From Analog to IP Based Cameras – A Paradigm Shift
The security and surveillance industry has evolved over the years, and the trend is shifting from physical security to video-based security and surveillance with the help of camera technology. The shift is driven by factors such as increased safety, time, and cost efficiency, and convenience of the end user. Also, video surveillance systems provide numerous benefits to its users, such as remote monitoring, better work productivity, protection against theft, traffic management, and also support in gathering evidence in legal cases.
During the initial phase of video surveillance technology, analog cameras were being used; however, the market is witnessing a change with the increased acceptance and adoption of IP cameras. Owing to the low cost, cloud storage, built-in wireless connections, and high durability, the market for IP cameras is expected to grow at a robust rate. Moreover, the changing paradigm shift from video analytics to intelligent video analytics presents a number of opportunities for the market to grow.
With the addition of video content analytics (VCA) and video surveillance as a service (VSaaS), the video surveillance industry is expected to witness high growth, as VCA enables extraction of structured information through the automatic analysis of a continuous data stream.
Factors Driving and Challenging the Global Video Surveillance Market
