Global Surveillance Camera Market (By System Type, Technology, & Region): Insights and Forecast with Potential Impact of COVID-19 (2022-2027)

Surveillance cameras are video cameras that are used to monitor a certain region. They are frequently linked to a recording device or IP network and are maybe watched by a security guard or law enforcement official. A surveillance camera can safeguard persons or companies against theft, fire, flood, or incursion.

The expanding urban population, rising criminal threats, increased traffic management, technology advancements, and rising number of ATMs would drive market expansion in the coming years. The global surveillance camera market is projected to reach US$33.11 billion in 2023, witnessing growth at a CAGR of 8.30%, during the forecasted period. Furthermore, the global surveillance camera market volume is expected to reach 278.6 million units in 2023.

Segment Covered

By System Type: The report provides the bifurcation of the market on the basis of value and volume. In terms of system type, the report identifies two segments of the global surveillance camera market: Analog and IP surveillance camera. IP surveillance camera held maximum share in the market. Further, on the basis of volume, the market is bifurcated into four segments according to the system type: Analog, IP Commercial, IP Consumer and other surveillance camera. IP Commercial surveillance camera held a major share in the market. On the other hand, the analog segment is expected to witness decline in the forthcoming years owing to the rise in technological innovation, emergence of IP cameras, with a number of advantages.

Driver: Growing Number of ATMs

With the increasing number of banks and ATMs, the incidence of ATM thefts and suspicious ATM withdrawals have increased considerably. Criminal acts relating to theft of ATM machines or money from them, from customers who made withdrawals or are forced to do so, are on the rise. Many a times, these acts can lead to loss of life of the victim or the security guard, while preventing the crime. Thus, due to the rising security concerns, there is a growing demand for surveillance cameras in the ATMs. Therefore, augmenting the growth of the surveillance camera market.

Challenge: Increase in Privacy Concern

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. Through surveillance cameras, individuals are observed without their knowledge in public buildings, train stations, stores, elevators, locker rooms, and school hallways. 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. This is considered to be a potential threat to the demand for the surveillance cameras, which could hamper its market growth on a global scale.

Trend: Emergence of Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS)

VSaaS is expected to grow rapidly in view of increasing security concerns, emergence of smart cities and growing demand for video surveillance. With the growing use of multi-mega pixel HD cameras, vast amounts of video surveillance data are being generated. The cloud computing provides efficient storage especially to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Some of the benefits offered by cloud technology are lower capital investment, lower power consumption, practical hardware utilisation, reduced IT personnel cost and better reliability. Thus, the emergence of VSaaS would positively impact the surveillance camera market.
