IP Camera Global Market Report 2026

An IP camera, also known as an Internet Protocol camera, is a type of digital surveillance camera that captures and transmits video data over an IP network. It is commonly employed for surveillance purposes, distinguishing it from analog closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras that rely on a local area network.

The main product categories of IP cameras include non-mechanical pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) dome cameras, fixed cameras, fixed dome cameras, and infrared cameras. A non-mechanical PTZ camera is equipped with mechanical components that enable it to move horizontally, tilt vertically, and zoom in and out of a scene. The components involved in IP cameras include hardware and services, and the connection methods can encompass both centralization and decentralization. IP cameras find applications in various sectors such as banking and finance, government, commercial trade, and education.

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.

Tariffs have impacted the IP camera market by increasing the cost of imported sensors, lenses, semiconductor components, and networking equipment used in surveillance systems across commercial, government, and residential sectors. Regions dependent on Asian manufacturing, particularly North America and Europe, face higher procurement expenses and extended supply cycles. Nevertheless, tariffs are stimulating regional assembly, encouraging domestic sourcing of imaging components, and supporting innovation in cost-efficient smart surveillance technologies to enhance long-term system reliability.

The Business Research Company that provides IP camera market statistics, including IP camera industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an IP camera market share, detailed IP camera market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the IP camera industry. This IP camera 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 ip camera market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $15.77 billion in 2025 to $18.17 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in early cctv installations, reliance on analog surveillance networks, increased need for security monitoring, expansion of digital video transmission, development of network-based recording systems.

The ip camera market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $32.24 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of smart surveillance systems, increasing demand for cloud storage solutions, growth in commercial and government security investments, development of high-resolution imaging technologies, rising implementation of remote monitoring platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of AI-enhanced video analytics platforms, expansion of IoT-integrated surveillance networks, development of cloud-connected ip security solutions, advancement of automated intelligent monitoring systems, growth of digitally optimized remote surveillance tools.

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to drive the growth of the IP camera market going forward. An electric vehicle (EV) is a mode of transportation powered entirely or primarily by electricity, using electric motors instead of internal combustion engines. The adoption of electric vehicles is rising due to growing environmental awareness and government incentives that promote clean and sustainable transportation. IP cameras are used in electric vehicles to provide real-time video monitoring and enhance safety through advanced driver assistance and surveillance systems. For example, in April 2024, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, the number of new electric car registrations in China reached 8.1 million in 2023, representing a 35% increase compared to 2022. Therefore, the increasing adoption of electric vehicles is driving the growth of the IP camera market.

Major companies in the IP camera market are also concentrating on the development of advanced products, such as systems on chipsets (SoC), to gain a competitive advantage. Systems on chip (SoC) integrate all components of a computer or electronic system into a single chip. For example, in March 2023, Deeplet Technology Corp, a Taiwan-based provider of surveillance innovation, launched the Brivista series of IP cameras based on Novatek's chipset. These cameras feature vandal-proof, waterproof, and long-range IR capabilities, designed to comply with Onvif Profile S/T for real-time video freeze and snapshots. The incorporation of SoC technology, such as Novatek's chipset, showcases the commitment of major companies to deliver technologically advanced products in the IP camera market.

In February 2024, Motorola Solutions, a U.S.-based provider of video security and surveillance equipment, acquired Silent Sentinel for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Motorola Solutions seeks to expand its video security portfolio and strengthen its global presence in government and critical infrastructure markets. Silent Sentinel is a U.K.-based provider of specialized long-range and thermal IP camera solutions.
