IP Camera Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Component (Hardware and Services), By Product Type (Fixed Camera, Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera (PTZ), and Infrared Camera), By Connection Type (Centralized and Distributed), By End User (Residential, Commercial, and Government and Public), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global IP camera market size was valued at USD 5.53 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 5.94 billion in 2024 to USD 16.00 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 13.2% during the forecast period.

An IP or internet protocol camera is a type of closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) device used in video surveillance. This device sends and receives recorded video footage by the IP protocol network. It is widely used in various surveillance activities such as road traffic monitoring, industrial operation monitoring, and domestic surveillance. An IP surveillance camera is rapidly replacing traditional CCTV cameras due to its various benefits. Unlike conventional CCTV, this IP surveillance camera does not require any physical recording device to record video. Instead, it just needs an internet connection to transfer footage.        

An IP camera can be connected to a wired or wireless network and transfer video to the operator’s device or directly store it in cloud storage space. These kinds of cameras capture videos and images in very high-definition formats, as high as 16 megapixels, depending upon the type of camera. This high-resolution image-capturing property of an IP surveillance camera is helpful in capturing and recording moving objects. Moreover, the ongoing implementation of the Internet of Things in the residential and commercial sectors is further increasing the demand for IP cameras.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, various government and regulatory bodies across the globe imposed lockdowns that prominently affected industrial production and the consumption of various products. The global lockdown forced people to stay at home during the COVID-19 period, which is the main factor for the reduction in demand for IP cameras in the world. Furthermore, COVID-19 lockdowns resulted in the sealing of country borders, which disturbed the supply chain and distribution and hindered the growth of the market globally. However, the COVID-19 outbreak affected many people and infected masses worldwide. At the same time, IP surveillance cameras played a major role in this crisis that helped doctors, policemen, and healthcare professionals strictly keep surveillance on COVID-19 wards and residential lockdowns. Thus, surveillance allowed them to take rapid action on the critical condition of patients, which is responsible for boosting the market globally.
