2011 global video surveillance market growth rate will exceed 20%

Cameras, storage devices, servers, encoders and software are the protagonists of video surveillance systems. In 2008, cameras accounted for 47% of the video surveillance market, and its compound annual growth rate from 2010 to 2015 is expected to reach 21.1%. Video analysis prompted the emergence of intelligent video surveillance systems, which promoted the compound annual growth rate of the software market to reach 21.7%.

The growth rate of the storage device market is expected to be lower due to the concept of video surveillance as a service. Video surveillance and IT vendors have introduced the concept of cloud computing in the video surveillance market. Video surveillance can now be provided as a complete service to users. The sites that need to be monitored can be monitored by cameras and the image data can be stored on the service provider's equipment. This eliminates the need for data storage at each site.

Among them, the United Kingdom is one of the most mature countries in the monitoring of market development. The RNCOS research report “Global CCTV Market Analysis (2008-2012)” predicts that the sales of monitoring equipment in the country will maintain a compound annual growth rate of approximately 14.5% between 2010 and 2013.

It is expected that the UK market will maintain a sustained growth in the design, equipment supply, installation and maintenance of monitoring systems. Users’ demand for replacement of existing systems, new projects, and public security will drive market growth. Therefore, it is expected that by 2013, digital systems and network cameras will dominate the market. We have analyzed the surveillance market in the UK, as well as the information of major manufacturers and other details about the country's surveillance market in previous research reports.
