Video surveillance involves the utilization of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras or comparable video recording devices to observe and document activities within a specified area for security, safety, or monitoring objectives. Its primary aim is to bolster security, safety, and situational awareness by capturing visual data in real-time or archiving it for subsequent examination.
The key components in video surveillance encompass hardware, software, and services. Hardware, pertaining to the tangible elements within a computer system or any electronic device, plays a pivotal role in video surveillance by capturing, processing, and storing video footage for monitoring, analysis, and security purposes. These systems are categorized into types such as analog video surveillance systems, internet protocol (IP) video surveillance systems, and hybrid video surveillance systems utilized in small-scale enterprises, medium-scale enterprises, and large-scale enterprises across residential, commercial, defense, and infrastructure applications.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.
The video surveillance research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides video surveillance market statistics, including the video surveillance industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with an video surveillance market share, detailed video surveillance market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the video surveillance industry. This video surveillance market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The video surveillance market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $62.49 billion in 2024 to $69.09 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increased focus on security, integration with IT networks, integration of mobile and wireless technologies, big data and analytics, the emergence of cloud-based storage solutions.
The video surveillance market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $105.04 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the emergence of cloud-based storage solutions, the widespread adoption of 5G technology, increasing use of edge computing, integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), growing focus on cybersecurity, integration with IoT devices. Major trends in the forecast period include edge computing for real-time analysis, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) integration, increased use of thermal imaging, cloud-based video storage and management, augmented reality (AR) integration.
The forecast of 11.0% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff-related restrictions may significantly hinder the availability of essential optical sensors and surveillance chipsets, especially from Asian manufacturing hubs, potentially leading to escalated system costs and project delays in the US market. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The anticipated rise in smart city initiatives is forecasted to drive the growth of the video surveillance market in the future. A smart city utilizes digital technology and data-driven solutions to enhance its functionality and well-being while reducing costs and resource consumption. The increasing development of smart cities is fueled by the desire of cities to utilize technology in addressing urban challenges and creating more livable, sustainable, and efficient urban environments. Video surveillance plays a critical role in smart cities by improving public safety through real-time monitoring and data analysis, facilitating quicker responses to incidents, and promoting overall urban security and management. For example, in April 2023, according to the Smart City Index Report released by IMD Business School, the number of smart cities rose by 16.3%, from 118 cities in 2021 to 141 in 2023. Hence, the expansion of smart city projects is propelling the growth of the video surveillance market.
Key players in the video surveillance market are intensifying their efforts to develop advanced products such as smart home security cameras to enhance their competitive position. These advanced surveillance devices, tailored for residential use, connect to home networks, typically via Wi-Fi, enabling users to remotely monitor their properties through mobile applications. For instance, in July 2023, Koninklijke Philips N.V., a technology company based in the Netherlands, introduced its inaugural range of smart home security cameras, comprising three models, along with a new Home Safety app. These cameras feature full HD resolution, two-way communication, motion detection, night vision, and 128-bit encryption. They can be managed using the Philips Home Safety App, which offers four distinct usage modes. The cameras are primarily intended for indoor use, with options for fixed indoor security cameras and 360° indoor security cameras.
In May 2022, Motorola Solutions Inc., a US-based telecommunications equipment company, completed the acquisition of Videotec S.p.A. for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition is anticipated to bolster Motorola Solutions' existing portfolio of fixed video cameras and enhance its position as a global leader in video security solutions.
