Artificial Intelligence Camera Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By Type, Technology, End User, and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) Camera Market is accounted for $8.73 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $21.51 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period. The field of artificial intelligence encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including machine learning, speech/voice recognition, computer vision, and image identification. The cameras that use artificial intelligence use all of these technologies. These cameras are used in many different applications, such as surveillance cameras and smartphones, where the technology senses the environment, the intensity of the light, and the white balance before creating a picture. Due to the increased use of smartphones by consumers globally, there is an increased need for high-quality photos that use artificial intelligence.

According to the World Economic Forum Organization, around 4.3 billion smartphones have been sold globally, whereas half are tablets.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising adoption of AI cameras in consumer electronics

The market is expanding due to the increasing use of artificial intelligence cameras in consumer electronics products including smartphones, tablets, desktops, and laptops. Global market expansion is being fuelled by the rising sales of smartphones equipped with cutting-edge technologies. The increasing adoption of AI-based surveillance systems by numerous firms and enterprises as well as the incorporation of AI in smart devices are significant drivers of this market's expansion. The increasing demand for monitoring and surveillance at commercial retail outlets, consumer electronics, and the banking industry is another reason that has contributed to the expansion of the market trend.

Restraint:

Increasing privacy concerns

Lack of AI-based platforms and ignorance of AI cameras are two problems that limit the growth of the artificial intelligence camera market. Additionally, it is anticipated that growing privacy worries about safeguarding video databases against theft and hacking may impede market adoption. Organisations are prohibited from holding video footage due to the increased risk of video data being exploited in public clouds, camera recorders, and escalating data breaches. The vulnerability of AI-based video surveillance systems to hacks is greater. Artificial intelligence cameras come with risk on a number of levels, including employment, safety, and legal concerns. However, one of the biggest obstacles to the worldwide market is consumers' ignorance of advanced products.

Opportunity:

Availability of a wide range of products and frequent product launches

Globally, the market for AI cameras is developing, offering a wide variety of AI camera products from different brands and for different uses. The items are offered to customers at competitive costs thanks to the different brands that compete in this market, which encourages market expansion. To obtain a competitive edge, firms also make significant investments in technological development and introduce new products. In Google's most recent Pixel 6 camera, for instance, automatic tools like smart blurring, object removal, skin tone exposure, etc. are now integrated into the device.

Threat:

High Cost of AI Camera

The price of an AI camera includes the costs of integrating an AI platform into the camera, embedding the platform, and the services required to run an AI platform. Additionally, the price covers the skilled labour needed to build AI platforms. This is a significant obstacle to the expansion of the global AI camera market. The high price of AI cameras eventually drives up the cost of consumer goods like security systems, cellphones, and other devices, which can limit market expansion, especially in price-sensitive nations like India.

COVID-19 Impact:

The electronics and semiconductor industries were severely impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. Due to the rise in COVID-19 cases, businesses and manufacturing facilities in a number of nations, including India, China, Italy, and Japan, have been shut down. Additionally, the whole or partial lockdown in these nations impacted supply chain operations including foreign trade and transportation, posing problems for industries on a worldwide scale. The COVID-19 epidemic had a negative impact on the camera's overall production activity. The COVID-19 epidemic presents a dilemma for the digital smart camera business. Issues with the world's supply chains increased the cost of the cameras' raw materials and production.

The surveillance camera segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The surveillance camera segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. AI cameras can combine HDR photographs in favourable lighting. On the other hand, in low light, they can switch to multi-image recording and use computational imaging to produce a stepless zoom effect with two or more camera modules. The demand for these AI surveillance camera features is rising quickly since they are particularly useful in security systems.

The image/face recognition segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The image/face recognition segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the prominence of its use in smartphones. Today's smartphones can recognise objects and people in photos while taking them. Security solutions that use image/face recognition are also helping the market expand. Additionally, governments are investing in AI in industries like healthcare, transportation, and others as a result of the integration of image/face recognition in cameras.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to rising investments in electronic devices using cutting-edge technology. China is the world's largest manufacturing base, generating around 36.0% of all consumer electronics, including computers, cloud servers, cell phones, and telecom infrastructures, according to the Semiconductor Association. With the rising deployment of smart AI cameras in connected devices and supportive government initiatives, India is also growing more quickly.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the expansion of electronic surveillance cameras to keep an eye on public spaces and the increase of civic activists in this region, which fuels market expansion. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which establishes requirements for authorising specific electronic surveillance activities, was also introduced by the U.S. government.
