India Video Surveillance Market – Estimate and Forecast 2015 - 2022

A growing need for safe and secure living while ensuring the protection of belongings, assets, and infrastructure has propelled a global demand for surveillance measures. India, being on a path of becoming a developed nation, needs to guarantee the safety of its people, resources, private properties, and to be aware of internal and external threats; hence, the need for such video surveillance measures is increasing more than ever.

The market is currently dominated by the traditional analog based video surveillance systems, however, the recent events of crimes and terrorist attacks have spurred the demand of more advanced video surveillance systems, i.e. the IP video/ network video surveillance systems. IP based video surveillance systems have entered the market with compelling features such as high resolution, easy expansion of number of cameras (scalability), lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and a higher Return on Investment (ROI). Although in the current market scenario, IP cameras are strongly challenged by the legacy of analog systems, but it is expected that the demand of IP cameras will surpass those of traditional analog cameras in the forecast years.

Rising needs for advanced security due to the incidents of terrorism and increasing crime figures has encouraged individuals, organizations and various authorities to devise effective response mechanisms. In the current scenario of security systems, video surveillance has become an indispensable tool to ensure both personal and public safety. With further advancements in technology, the market is experiencing a paradigm shift from conventionally used analog cameras towards IP/network based cameras. However, it will not be for another two years that the market will witness a wide scale adoption of IP based systems since majority of the existing surveillance systems are entirely analog and switching to IP based cameras will prove to be a costly affair for the owners.

The overall Video Surveillance ecosystem, in India, accounted for ~$1.5 Billion in 2014. Analyzing the expected growth in 2015, keeping in mind future adoption plans, the market value is expected to grow at 22.96% CAGR from 2015 to 2022. Presently, the Northern part of India acquires the largest proportion of security installation, followed by the South and the West. The eastern part of India, however, is still in its developing stages but has a high scope for the Video Surveillance market.
