The global dashboard camera market size was valued at USD 0.40 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 0.46 billion in 2024 to USD 3.72 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 29.8% during the forecast period.

Dashboard camera or dashcam is a device mounted on the vehicle's dashboard, also known as a car digital video recorder. The primary function of a dashcam is the careful and accurate recording of every detail on the road. This onboard camera continuously records the front view through a vehicle's windscreen and sometimes rear or other windows. Dashboard cameras are installed on the vehicle’s front windscreen and sometimes rear screen.

Dashboard cameras have gained significant popularity in recent years due to increasing vehicle accidents. The cameras mainly help the drivers continuously record incidents happening on the front and rear sides of the vehicle and store them in a DVR box placed inside the car. The footage recorded by these cameras is beneficial for legal proceedings, insurance claims, and protection purposes.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the dashboard camera market. While initial disruptions in supply chains and manufacturing processes affected production and distribution, the market witnessed an increased demand driven by a growing emphasis on safety and security amid the pandemic. With concerns about road safety and insurance fraud rising, consumers have shown greater interest in dashboard cameras for their vehicles, leading to a surge in sales despite economic uncertainties.

Dashboard Camera Market Trends

Adoption of IoT and Artificial Intelligence to Set a Positive Trend in the Market

The introduction of advanced technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and vehicle telematics, has significantly improved the dashcam application for both passenger and commercial vehicles.

Artificial intelligence is used in dashboard cameras for real-time monitoring of internal and external surroundings while driving. The AI-integrated dashcams help by providing live scene analysis and object detection to drivers to ensure safe driving. For instance, the camera can alert the driver in real-time if a vehicle is approaching at an appropriate speed from behind so that the driver can immediately decide to avoid a collision.

Advanced dashcams are embedded with features such as identity blurring to protect privacy, live streaming of video footage, high-definition video recordings, prolonged video recording, and storage, among others. Modern dashcams are integrated with cloud technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), which automatically transfer & store video files in a cloud storage space. Dashcams are becoming life savior as they help in detecting distracted driving, tailgating, rolling stops, and rash driving.

Dashboard Camera Market Growth Factors

Implementation of Stringent Government Regulations Related to On-road Safety and Increasing Vehicle Thefts along with Insurance Frauds to Drive the Market Growth

The dashboard camera market size is expanding due to a rise in the number of road accidents and increased safety concerns. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), 1.3 million road accidents occur yearly globally. As a result, governments worldwide are legislating to install rear-view cameras in automobiles to improve safety and avoid accidents.

Moreover, vehicle theft is a severe concern for personal vehicle owners globally. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau report for 2022, 932,329 vehicles were reported stolen to law enforcement in 2021, a 6% increase over 2020 and a 17% increase since 2019. Hence, to mitigate the fatalities, the U.S. government has strongly emphasized improving safety and also invested USD 6 billion for five years to reduce roadway crashes. The government has also increased funding for the Highway Safety Improvement Program, which is helping the states adopt data-driven approaches to making roads safer.

Rising police corruption, high rates of accidents, unsafe road conditions, and their low cost and easy availability are driving the adoption of dashcams. European countries, including the U.K., Denmark, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Russia, Turkey, Czech Republic, Romania, Poland, Ireland, Finland, and Slovenia have made it legal to install dashcams to prevent car robberies. All these factors will drive the dashboard camera market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Rising Cybersecurity Concerns and Regulations May Restrain the Adoption of Dashcams.

The advent of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and connected cars has significantly improved the overall driving experience and made driving more secure. However, the more society becomes connected using technology, the more cybersecurity concerns it attracts. Cybersecurity experts continuously criticize dashboard cameras over privacy concerns. Numerous security vulnerabilities have been pointed out by experts in the past that may lead to user data breaches and cyber-attacks.

Rising cybersecurity concerns and regulations are significant restraints on the adoption of dashcams in the automotive industry. As vehicles become increasingly connected and data-driven, there is a growing awareness of the potential risks associated with onboard cameras, particularly in terms of privacy and data security. Recent incidents of cyberattacks targeting connected vehicles have highlighted the vulnerability of in-car systems, raising concerns among consumers and policymakers.

In response to these concerns, governments and regulatory bodies are imposing stricter regulations on data privacy and cybersecurity in the automotive sector. For example, the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar legislation in other regions require companies to adhere to stringent data protection standards and obtain explicit consent from consumers before collecting and processing personal data. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in hefty fines and reputational damage for automakers and technology providers.

Furthermore, the automotive industry is facing increasing pressure from cybersecurity standards organizations and industry associations to implement robust security measures in connected vehicles, including dashcams. For instance, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed standards such as ISO/SAE 21434 to guide manufacturers in the implementation of cybersecurity measures throughout the vehicle lifecycle. As a result, automakers and technology providers are investing heavily in cybersecurity solutions and collaborating with regulatory authorities to address these challenges and build trust among consumers.
