In addition, such advancements have also minimized the cost of deployment of surveillance infrastructure within a premise.
• The market is also witnessing increased instances of investment in startup firms. For example, in March 2021, LDC, a mid-market private equity firm, announced an investment of GBP 30 million in Wireless CCTV (WCCTV), a provider of re-deployable surveillance solutions.

Key Market TrendsSurveillance Security System is Expected to Hold Significant Share

• Surveillance systems are fast becoming essential to securing homes and businesses owing to the constant technological evolution. Technological advancement has also led to more efficient methods of recording and storage. Furthermore, even small business owners can now access powerful surveillance systems at relatively affordable prices. The affordability factor is acting as a major driver for these systems, especially across developing countries, wherein the price of the products often becomes the deciding factor for purchasing any product.
• According to Quantum Corporation, surveillance cameras are now the biggest data generator in the world. Increasing camera counts offering higher resolutions and analytics are significantly increasing the demand for supporting security infrastructures, driving needs for the latest technologies, more scale, and more performance.
• To tackle the rising rate of crimes, governments are investing in tackling the increasing rate of crimes globally. Implementing mass surveillance systems has helped government agencies track the suspects of crimes. For example, according to a report by the US Government Accountability Office (GAO), federal agencies in the United States currently use are planning to expand their use of facial recognition systems. According to the report, 10 out of 24 agencies surveyed plan to broaden their use of the technology by 2023. Also, criminal offenses continue to be a consistent concern, as indicated by the Bundeskriminalamt. For instance, in 2021, around 5.05 million crimes were registered, compared to 6.37 million in 2016. Such high criminal case statistics directly impact the studied market's growth positively.
• Furthermore, with the increasing instances of security breaches and physical security incidents, the demand for surveillance and security systems is expected to increase. For example, according to a 2021 survey conducted by Pro-Vigil, a video surveillance company, 28% of respondents reported an increase in physical incidents in 2021, up from 20% of respondents in the 2020 survey. A significant portion (27%) of the respondents even believes that they expect incidents to continue to grow this year. The survey also emphasized the fact that more businesses are using remote video monitoring (RVM) services to successfully and cost-effectively protect their assets and sites. However, most of the users are not taking advantage of its full capabilities beyond security surveillance.
• Additionally, the effectiveness of video analytics, along with video surveillance cameras, to identify potential felons is helping government agencies reduce the crime rate in various countries, which is expected to increase the demand for an integrated surveillance system. For instance, Surat police in Gujarat, India, operates a network of 604 cameras in 114 different locations to easily detect criminals. Moreover, they have been using video-based analytics solutions deployed at the command-and-control center to track street crimes. The software deployed was a facial recognition and automated number plate recognition (ANPR) solution. The overall solution includes software for detecting cases of overspeeding as well.

Asia-Pacific is Expected to be the Fastest Growing Market

• Asian governments are expanding on initiatives to make their respective countries more secure. The evolution of smart cities is one of the vital segments of infrastructural developments, with the application of alarming systems, surveillance systems, and access controls.​
