This report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The security and surveillance market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $19.17 billion in 2024 to $20.95 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to warfare and conflict, urbanization and population growth, criminal activities, social and political movements, intelligence and counterintelligence operations.

The security and surveillance market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $28.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to globalization and transnational threats, public perception and trust, economic factors, emerging threats, quantum computing, and cryptography. Major trends in the forecast period include development of surveillance technologies, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, IoT (Internet of Things) integration, biometric technologies, cloud-based surveillance solutions.

The security and surveillance market is anticipated to experience growth due to the increasing incidents of terrorism and illegal activities. Terrorism involves the use of violence to instill fear for political, religious, or ideological purposes, while illegal activities encompass actions that violate established laws and regulations, often resulting in legal consequences. The rise in terrorism and illegal activities can be attributed to complex factors such as socio-economic disparities, political instability, religious extremism, and global interconnectedness. To counter these threats, security and surveillance measures are employed to detect and prevent terrorism and illegal activities by monitoring and analyzing suspicious behavior, potential threats, and illicit networks. According to the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) global terrorism index report in March 2023, terrorist attacks in 2022 became more lethal, with an average of 1.7 people killed per attack, compared to 1.3 deaths per attack in 2021. The report highlighted a total of 6,701 deaths attributed to terrorist activities in 2022, emphasizing the need for heightened security measures.

Key players in the security and surveillance market are actively investing in advanced solutions, such as AI (artificial intelligence) surveillance technologies, to bolster security measures and enhance threat detection capabilities. AI surveillance solutions utilize advanced algorithms and machine learning to analyze vast datasets, detect anomalies, and improve monitoring and response efficiency across different environments. For example, in August 2022, Vivotek Inc., a Taiwan-based company specializing in IP (Internet Protocol) cameras and video management software, launched VORTEX, a cloud-based video surveillance as a service (VSaaS) in the United States. This solution integrates camera, app, web, cloud, and deep learning technologies, providing an advanced AI surveillance system with real-time detection, post-hoc search capabilities, and cutting-edge deep search algorithms that transform metadata into searchable and measurable information.

In August 2023, South Korea-based global security technology company IDIS Co. Ltd. acquired Costar Technologies Inc. for approximately $23.2 million. This strategic acquisition positions IDIS to enhance its global presence and diversify its product range in the North American video market. The acquisition of Costar allows IDIS to expand its reach globally and offer a comprehensive range of security solutions. As the demand for integrated solutions grows, Costar's sales channel is expected to benefit from IDIS' 'one-stop-shop' model, facilitating the creation and deployment of complete video surveillance solutions, including deep learning analytics. Costar Technologies Inc., based in the US, specializes in providing various security solutions, including surveillance cameras, lenses, digital video recorders, and high-speed domes.
