SECURITY CAMERAS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global security cameras market was valued at USD 7.84 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 8.33 billion in 2026, steadily progressing to USD 14.26 billion by 2035, with a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2035.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the security cameras market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Devices used for monitoring and surveillance include security cameras. In order to improve security and safety, they are made to capture and record video in particular locations. A camera lens, an image sensor, and a video output are some of the parts that make up surveillance cameras. The monitoring area is focused on by the camera lens, and visual data is recorded in the form of video or still images by the image sensor. The footage can be captured for subsequent review or seen in real-time on monitors thanks to the video output.

Several reasons have contributed to the tremendous expansion of the security camera industry. The market for the cameras is being driven by growing worries about public safety and security, the need for efficient surveillance in both the residential and commercial sectors, developments in camera technology, and the growing use of smart homes and IoT devices. The availability of affordable and user-friendly camera systems, combined with the incorporation of AI and video analytics, all further contribute to the market's growth.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Need for the Cameras to Guarantee Safety Surged the Market Demand 

The need for cameras to guarantee safety and monitor adherence to health protocols in public locations, workplaces, and residential areas surged during the epidemic. Organizations and individuals realized how crucial it was to continue surveillance in order to implement social segregation policies, identify potential problems, and keep track of occupancy levels. Additionally, the transition to remote work and online activities raised the focus on protecting houses and digital assets, increasing the need for video doorbells and residential surveillance cameras. The epidemic hastened the implementation of cutting-edge technologies such as video analytics and contactless access control systems, which has further fueled the demand for the cameras.

LATEST TRENDS

Fusion of AI with Sophisticated Video Analytics to Improve Security Outcomes and Accelerate Response Time

The fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) with sophisticated video analytics is one of the newest developments in the security business. Enhanced surveillance capabilities and sophisticated video processing are made possible by cameras that are powered by AI and video analytics systems. Within the field of view of the camera, AI algorithms may recognize and track particular things, such as people, cars, or goods. This makes it possible to monitor and identify questionable activity with greater accuracy. Security camera integration with AI and video analytics provides more effective and proactive surveillance, improving security outcomes and accelerating response times.

• In 2019, over 427,000 CCTV cameras were officially used by police agencies across India, reflecting the rapid adoption of surveillance in law enforcement.

• By 2024, more than 84,000 CCTV cameras had been installed across 100 smart cities, with Delhi alone deploying about 246,000 cameras, reaching nearly 88% of its target of 280,000.

DRIVING FACTORS

Growing Need for Public Safety and Security is Driving the Camera’s Market Demand

Security camera demand is being driven by growing concerns about public safety and security. In order to deter criminal activity, stop theft or damage, and secure the safety of people and goods, governments, businesses, and individuals all recognize the value of surveillance systems. A visible deterrent against prospective dangers, the cameras offer a sense of security. Surveillance cameras are in high demand since they are necessary for public safety measures in public places, transit hubs, educational institutions, and commercial locations.

• Delhi has already installed over 246,000 CCTV cameras under its surveillance program, which is about 88% of the planned target, showing strong government push toward public security.

• In India, the public sector contributes about 27% of CCTV demand, while private enterprises, industries, hospitality firms, and households account for the remaining 73%, indicating increasing non-government adoption.

Increasing Adoption of Smart Homes and IoT is Piloting the Use of the Cameras

The market for security cameras is significantly being driven by the increasing usage of smart home technology and the Internet of Things (IoT). Homeowners are looking for security solutions that can be included into their smart home ecosystems as smart homes grow in popularity. The needs of smart homes are met by surveillance cameras that have wireless connectivity, voice assistant compatibility, and remote monitoring capabilities. Homeowners can access live or recorded video footage with ease and peace of mind thanks to smartphones and other smart devices, which increases the need for the cameras.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Privacy Issues are a Major Restraining Factor to the Cameras Market Expansion

Privacy issues are one barrier to the security cameras market growth. Surveillance cameras are widely used, which raises concerns about potential privacy invasion, particularly when they are installed in public areas or on private property where people may feel their privacy is violated. Stricter restrictions and public opposition may result from increased examination of data privacy laws and ethical issues surrounding the gathering, storing, and usage of surveillance footage, which could have an effect on the expansion and use of the cameras in specific locations or applications.

• Under new national regulations effective from April 2025, internet-connected CCTV cameras must undergo government testing. Out of hundreds of models submitted, only 35 models had cleared approvals, slowing availability in the market.

• In urban areas, only 45% of households in low-income neighborhoods reported CCTV coverage compared with 61% in capital cities, and in slums coverage fell to just 28%, limiting widespread adoption.
