According to the research, the demand for internet protocol (IP)-based camera systems is increasing due to the constant development of infrared cameras and the adoption of IoT in video surveillance. With an increasing number of home burglaries and squatting, residential security is one of the top concerns of homeowners. The rising smartphone user base and the availability of installment-based security solution subscriptions promise robust growth in the residential market.

Cost continues to have a positive impact

Home security concerns are growing along with the connected ability to alert security services, and the comparatively low cost of home security continues to impact the market's growth positively. These cameras help users respond immediately to any incursions inside buildings, abandonment of suspicious materials, and loitering & trespassing by persons and vehicles, as it also has built-in video intelligence.

IP cameras protect personnel, property, or information as they are employed in various organisations. These are also widely deployed in commercial and residential properties. The effects of Covid-19 globally continue to have a significant impact on the electronics industry as well, resulting in changes in consumer preferences over time. The changes in preferences, disposable income, and purchasing habits have added volatility in the global economy. This has led to uncertainty on the demand side in the internet protocol camera market.

Increased awareness in Asia Pacific markets

Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period, due to increasing awareness and adoption rate of network cameras. The impact of government legislation and investments also continues to boost the market growth in the region. There are several significant component providers in the area which dominates globally. For instance, in 2019, the Chinese police started the installation of new surveillance technology that helps the local authority identify potential suspects by their body language, and demeanor. The technology used by the Chinese police identifies individuals based on their body shape and movement from around a 50-metre distance. Government officials use advanced technology such as AI-based security solutions that help them improve their surveillance operations.
