The global video analytics market size was valued at USD 10.25 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 12.61 billion in 2025 to USD 50.80 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 22.0% during the forecast period.

Video analytics uses an algorithm to read video signals for security-related tasks. The adoption of this software is increasing as it detects real-time actions and behavior, providing customers with exclusive alerts and insights. Furthermore, growing safety and security concerns are expected to boost the market expansion.

The need for these solutions is expected to gain traction due to rising smart city initiatives across major countries and growing investments to deploy analytics-based video surveillance systems. These systems can find robust usage across law enforcement, government, transportation, banking, and finance sectors. Furthermore, the improved proliferation of analytics platforms to minimize crime rates through timely alerts about the suspicious or unusual activity is anticipated to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of analytics-integrated surveillance systems, CCTV cameras, and video streaming services. Industries, including healthcare, retail, construction, government, and travel, increased the use of surveillance cameras for public safety, mask compliance, and crowd density management. This surge in demand is expected to drive market growth in the coming years as organizations prioritize safety measures and surveillance technologies. For instance,

• In June 2020, Infosys released Return to Workplace tools to implement new working policies amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The solution offered alerts for face mask detection, crowd monitoring, and social distancing across various sectors.

Video Analytics Market Trends

Increased Adoption of High-Resolution Cameras to Drive Market Development

High-resolution cameras, such as 4K or 8K, are equipped with advanced sensors and imaging technology to capture detailed and clear video footage, enabling more accurate analysis and interpretation of visual data. These cameras facilitate extracting valuable insights through video analytics algorithms, such as object detection, facial recognition, and crowd behavior analysis. Additionally, the high-resolution videos help identify and analyze objects/people in the crowd, trigger alarms when certain conditions are met, filter & search videos, and draw insights from video metadata more accurately. For instance, surveillance systems in smart cities leverage high-resolution cameras to monitor traffic flow, detect anomalies, and enhance public safety. Additionally, industries such as retail and manufacturing utilize high-resolution cameras for inventory management, quality control, and customer behavior analysis. The growing demand for high-resolution cameras is expected to drive the expansion of the video analytics market.

Video Analytics Market Growth Factors

Rising Demand for Real-Time Event Detection to Drive Market Growth

Analytics-based video software can assist in analyzing live or recorded video streams to detect, classify, and track behaviour patterns and predefined objects, which may become a key market-driving factor. For instance,

• In August 2021, BriefCam, a provider of video content analytics solutions, declared that its software had been deployed at the National Mall as part of a USD 3.3 million technology contribution directed by Convergint. BriefCam can aid the U.S. Park Police (USPP) and the National Park Service (NPS) in accelerating the investigation and making important decisions that drive security and safety by offering real-time alerts and the ability to filter and search a video.

Real-time analytics with high-performance capabilities can transform standard surveillance networks used in intelligent detection and alert systems for vehicles, static objects, or people. Each private/public/government organization deploys network links with varying bandwidths between cloud and IP cameras to compute large-scale videos for improved analytics. Real-time event detection has aided in reducing crimes, thefts, and other criminal activities while improving the overall social settings and international trade climate. This factor is also expected to bolster the market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of Necessary Database Infrastructure and Rising Cybercrimes to Impede Market Growth

Large-scale solutions are integrated with large databases, infrastructures, and surveillance systems to provide automated identification and tracking systems. Preliminary database infrastructure results in inept data logs, causing inaccuracies in video processing and tracking processes.

Shipping ports face reputational risks owing to smuggling, asset theft, cargo damage, and terrorist attacks. This cripples the commercial impact on the global supply chain activities carried out through marine transportation. Furthermore, the accuracy of analytics generated from image and video data is limited owing to the lack of a well-designed database infrastructure for video analytics. Such factors are expected to restrict the global market growth during the forecast period.

Growing cyberattacks and data breaches on video surveillance cameras, IoT devices, and mobiles will also restrict market growth. Cloud providers can mishandle videos stored in public cloud storage by leaking the original video content. Also, rising data breaches across the cloud system will likely impede market development. For instance,

• In March 2021, Verkada Inc., a provider of surveillance cameras, suffered a data breach that leaked content from 150,000 cameras across hospitals, companies, schools, police departments, and prisons. This data breach released the video footage of major players, such as Cloudflare Inc. and Tesla Inc. Such cyberattacks are expected to restrain market growth.

Video Analytics Market Segmentation Analysis
