According to an analysis by the research firm MarketsandMarkets, the market for AI-powered video surveillance is expected to grow from €3.90 billion in 2024 to €12.46 billion by 2030, reflecting an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.3% from 2025 to 2030.
A key driver of market growth is the increasing demand for advanced security solutions across various industries. As urban populations rise and awareness of security threats grows, businesses, governments, and individuals are increasingly investing in modern surveillance technologies.
Advanced AI Capabilities for Video Surveillance
Artificial intelligence enables, among other things, real-time threat detection, behavioral analysis, and predictive monitoring of incidents—functions that traditional systems do not provide. These advanced capabilities not only improve security but also enhance operational efficiency, making AI-based surveillance solutions an increasingly attractive means of protecting people, property, and data. Additionally, the rise in criminal activities and terrorist threats worldwide is prompting more organizations and governments to adopt such advanced solutions.
Cloud-based Systems for Improved Responsiveness
The cloud-based segment is expected to experience stronger growth during the forecast period. These solutions offer remote access and real-time monitoring capabilities from anywhere, making them particularly appealing for organizations with distributed locations or mobile security measures. Cloud technologies allow data to be analyzed in real time and immediate alerts to be sent, significantly improving responsiveness during security incidents and operational issues. The demand for flexible and accessible surveillance management also drives the trend towards mobile and decentralized work environments.
Computer Vision as a Growth Driver
The integration of computer vision technology into AI-driven video surveillance is propelled by its advanced features, such as object detection, facial recognition, activity analysis, and anomaly detection, all with high accuracy. These technologies improve situational awareness, automate routine monitoring tasks, and provide real-time insights that are crucial for precise decision-making. The growing demand for intelligent systems in security, traffic management, retail analytics, and smart city initiatives further accelerates the integration of computer vision, as it enables scalable and efficient solutions for complex surveillance challenges.
AI and Video Analytics: The Key to Advancement
In the software segment, AI-based video analytics software is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The need for smarter and more efficient surveillance solutions has driven the demand for video management systems based on AI and advanced video analytics software. These systems offer capabilities such as real-time data analysis, behavioral analytics, object recognition, facial recognition, and automated alerts, all of which enhance situational awareness and improve decision-making. The increasing development of smart cities, growing security concerns, and the demand for scalable solutions are driving the adoption of these technologies, as advances in cloud and edge computing provide greater agility and lower latency, enabling smoother implementation across the industry.
Asia-Pacific Region as a Key Market
The Asia-Pacific region is currently a particularly dynamic market for AI in video surveillance. The demand for advanced video surveillance systems is rapidly increasing in countries like China, India, and other Asian nations. China, in particular, is one of the world’s largest consumers of video surveillance devices and systems, and the country plans to deploy AI-based cameras with facial recognition technology in sensitive public areas to enhance security and maintain social stability. Furthermore, the massive infrastructure projects underway in China are increasing the demand for high-resolution surveillance systems capable of delivering clear images even in low-light conditions.
