Global Surveillance Camera Market: Key Research Findings 2015
Research Outline
- Research period: From November 2014 to May 2015
- Research targets: Overseas and domestic manufacturers and vendors of surveillance cameras
- Research methodologies: Face-to-face interviews by the expert researchers, survey via email/telephone, and literature search
What are Surveillance Cameras?
Surveillance cameras in this research are categorized into two types: IP cameras and analog cameras. IP cameras, a.k.a. network cameras, have IP address to connect to the internet. Analog cameras, on the other hand, must be physically connected to monitors and recording devices using coaxial cables. Generally speaking, analog cameras are more reasonable in price than IP cameras.
Summary of Research Findings
- Global Number of Surveillance Cameras Shipped Attains 25,450 Thousand in 2014, Likely to Reach 43,200 Thousand by 2018
The global market size of surveillance cameras, based on the shipment volume at manufacturers, is projected to attain 25,450 thousand cameras, 110.9% of the size in the previous year. The number is expected to reach 43,200 thousand by 2018, among which IP cameras are projected to exceed analog cameras, with the shipment volume of analog cameras ends up as 17,200 thousand and IP cameras reaching 26,000 thousand.
- Expansion of Demands in Emerging Countries
Demands for surveillance cameras in Asia have been growing at various public facilities, as social infrastructure is getting established. Whereas there are increasing cases of introducing surveillance cameras in stores and commercial facilities in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries, there seems to be large demands to use them for public safety in China. As for the Middle East, there are more demands at construction sites of new buildings and for enhancement of security systems aiming for measures against terrorism in each country of the region. In Mexico and other South and Central American countries there are growing needs of those cameras in the streets and railroads, in addition to construction sites.
- Advanced Countries Require Latest Technologies in Surveillance Cameras for Higher Resolution and More Sufficient Security Systems
Surveillance cameras are mainly needed at stores and commercial facilities where image analysis is conducted in Europe and U.S. The existing surveillance cameras can be replaced by those with latest technologies to perform more precise image analysis using higher resolution. On the other hand, in Japan, surveillance cameras are increasingly adopted at some food factories to prevent contamination at production lines and as a part of floor management, aiming for so called ‘Food Defence’. Also in Japan, there are expanding needs of those cameras at convenience stores and other multiple small stores.
