This surveillance technology market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The surveillance technology market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $165.4 billion in 2024 to $186.6 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased use of mobile surveillance technology systems, integration of video surveillance with access control and alarm systems, emerging markets growth and increased adoption of video surveillance systems in educational institutions.
The surveillance technology market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $315.42 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the low cost of investment with video surveillance as a service (vsaas), increasing government surveillance initiatives, increasing adoption of surveillance technology by hospitality sector and a rise in data security breaches. Major trends in the forecast period include new product launches, focus on merger and acquisition activities, focus on use of artificial intelligence (ai) in surveillance technology, focus on partnerships and collaborations, focus on advanced biometric surveillance control systems and focus on use of internet of things (iot) in surveillance technology.
The increasing demand for safety in high-risk areas has significantly contributed to the expansion of the surveillance technology market. The global crime rate is on the rise, exhibiting variations across different countries. Surveillance technology plays a crucial role in monitoring behavior, activities, or information to mitigate the risk of crime. For example, China employs 200 million cameras for public safety, and according to the World Population Review, the crime index stands at 37 for a population of 1.4 billion in China. A study sponsored by Campbell Collaboration at Cornell University revealed that the use of surveillance cameras led to a 51% reduction in crimes in parking lots and a 23% decrease in crime on public transportation in New York. The increasing need for safety in high-risk areas has become a driving force in the surveillance technology market.
The ongoing initiatives for smart cities are anticipated to further propel the growth of the surveillance technology market. Smart city initiatives involve urban development projects that leverage technology and data to enhance residents' quality of life, improve urban infrastructure, and make cities more efficient, sustainable, and livable. Surveillance technology plays a pivotal role in smart city initiatives by enhancing public safety, optimizing traffic management, and contributing to overall urban planning. According to reports from Springer, global spending on smart city initiatives is projected to reach $189.5 billion by 2023, reflecting an increase from the previous year. Consequently, the growth of smart city initiatives is a key driver for the surveillance technology market.
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in the surveillance technology market. AI in surveillance technology is employed to analyze video content, discerning crucial events within CCTV footage or video feeds. A notable example is the application and web platform named Ella, developed by IC Realtime, utilizing advanced algorithms to analyze significant events in video footage. Unlikeas many video monitoring systems, Ella features a smart search option that allows users to search for specific events within recorded videos, recognizing hundreds of natural language queries. The adoption of artificial intelligence represents a burgeoning trend in the surveillance technology market, offering growth opportunities.
Major companies within the surveillance technology market are actively developing innovative technologies, such as video surveillance, tailored for healthcare environments to enhance patient care and reduce costs.
