IDC Forecasts Solid Growth for the Video Surveillance Camera Market as Smart Camera Systems and Analytical Software Enable New Use CasesDespite the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the exclusion of the two market leaders from contention for U.S. government contracts, the video surveillance camera market will experience growth through 2025. This is largely due to the increasing adoption of smart camera systems and analytical software that enables them to be utilized in a variety of roles - beyond simple surveillance. A new forecast from International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates the worldwide video surveillance camera market will grow to $44 billion by 2025, up from $23.6 billion in 2019, with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 13%. "Video surveillance camera growth is being driven by the adoption of smart camera systems and the adoption of the video analytics applications that enable them," said Mike Jude, research director for IDC's (News - Alert) Video Surveillance and Vision Applications practice. "Although the market has seen a short-term decline driven by COVID-19 impacts, the longer-term prospects will be driven by the increasing use of video surveillance in law enforcement and physical security." IDC's Video Surveillance and Vision Applications practice follows the increasingly important applications of machine vision that augment physical security. While most data protection coverage begins and ends with data stored or carried by an organization's IT infrastructure, IDC's focus also includes the protection of data before it becomes data; tat is, protecting the intellectual property that people carry around with them, by protecting the people. Physical security of the areas that creative people occupy, including, increasingly, from the exposure to biological threats like COVID- 19, is critical to companies that increasingly depend on the introduction of innovative new services and products to drive revenue generation. Losing an employee with a good idea that hasn't yet been expressed could be devastating to the future of a company. Key findings from IDC's forecast include the following:
