According to World Bank data, global military expenditure in proportion to gross domestic product (GDP) stood at around 2.4% in 2020, up from 2.2% in 2019.
The global night vision surveillance cameras market is also estimated to witness growth on account of the rising trend of smart homes. According to estimates, the number of smart homes worldwide is expected to reach 345 million by 2023, up from 220 million in 2020. Moreover, this figure is expected to cross USD 460 million by the end of 2025. Additionally, the integration of near-infrared (NIR) imaging technology in night vision surveillance cameras is expected to drive market growth as it enables night vision systems to track and detect motion even in dim light or darkness. Hence, such a factor is anticipated to boost the growth of the market in the coming years.
Growth Drivers
Rising Government Support through Various Schemes and Investments – Modern technology enables night vision surveillance cameras to be incorporated inside drones. Moreover, the increasing use of drones for security purposes is anticipated to increase the market demand for night vision surveillance cameras. According to the data, in September 2021, the Indian government allocated a production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme worth USD 3 billion for the drone and auto industry.
Increased Research & Development Expenditure – As per data by the World Bank, global research and development expenditure in proportion to gross domestic product (GDP) was around 2.63% in 2020, up from 2.2% in 2018.
Rising Number of Stadiums Globally – According to data published in 2020, there were about 5,500 stadiums around the world and Brazil has the second highest number of stadiums, i.e., around 880.
Benefits of Night Vision Surveillance Cameras in Homes and Offices – According to recent statistics, if a surveillance camera is installed in a home, the chances of theft are reduced by 250%.
Rising Heavy Investment in Infrastructures – According to the data, in the next five years, the Indian government is planning to spend USD 1.3 trillion on infrastructure through the National Infrastructure Pipeline.
Challenges
High Cost of Night Vision Surveillance Cameras – The first and foremost obstacle or challenge that comes in the way of this market is the high cost of night vision surveillance cameras. The camera is not cost-friendly and not everyone can afford it. The utilization of unique materials and expensive third-generation technologies increases the price of night vision surveillance cameras.
