According to a new research report from analyst firm Berg Insight, published on November 6, 2026, the global market value of professional video surveillance solutions reached US$ 22.2 billion in 2025, an increase of 4.8 percent year-on-year. The figure includes sales of surveillance cameras, recorder hardware and video surveillance software for professional use, but excludes adjacent revenue streams such as system integration, access control security solutions, hardware peripherals and sales to consumer segments. The market is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8 percent, reaching US$ 30.9 billion in 2030. Growth in 2026 is estimated at 8.1 percent, bringing the market value to US$ 24.0 billion.
Leading surveillance camera vendors include Axis Communications, Dahua Technology, Hanwha Vision, Hikvision, and Motorola Solutions. Prominent providers of video management systems (VMS) and cloud-based video management platforms include Brivo, Genetec, March Networks, Milestone Systems, Network Optix, Octave, OpenEye, Rhombus and Verkada. There is, however, considerable overlap between hardware and software vendors: many camera vendors develop their own video management software, while software-focused companies often also offer cameras, recorders or other hardware. Motorola Solutions and Verkada are examples of companies with strong market positions in both categories.
Companies offering specialised cameras for applications such as automatic licence plate recognition (ALPR), multisensor surveillance and explosion-proof environments include Dallmeier, Flock Safety, MOBOTIX, Synectics and Teledyne FLIR. Other notable video surveillance vendors include Cisco Meraki, CP Plus, Geovision, Honeywell Technologies, IDIS, Infinova, Intelbras, i-PRO, IQSIGHT, Johnson Controls, Jovision, Kedacom, Merit LILIN, Raysharp, Sparsh CCTV, Tiandy Technologies, TVT, Ubiquiti, Uniview and Vivotek.
“Video surveillance constitutes a growing market in most regions of the world,” says Melvin Sörum, IoT Analyst at Berg Insight. Demand is being driven by the increasing need to protect people, property and other assets amid heightened security concerns and global tensions. “Part of the demand is also generated by supply-side product innovations leading to more effective surveillance solutions,” Sörum adds.
Technological advances include improvements in video resolution, image processing and artificial intelligence, alongside flexible deployment models based on cloud and hybrid-cloud architectures. For security professionals, these developments enable smarter and more accurate threat detection as well as faster incident response. Although security remains the primary purchasing criterion for most deployments, additional capabilities such as operational video analytics are increasingly common and deliver significant value to end customers.
