Video analytics is a technology that processes a digital video signal using a special algorithm to provide security to critical infrastructures with a powerful means for tracking people or objects, identifying and detecting intruders, and producing an alarm on types of behavior. The main video analytics components include software and services. Video analytics software helps in digital video surveillance, which comprises of one or more high-end PCs, video capture cards, and licenced analytics software, improves business processes and protects people and property. The organisation size for video analytics includes small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises (LOE). The different video analytics deployment modes include on-premise and cloud for end-users including BFSI, retail, critical infrastructure, transportation and logistics, hospitality and entertainment, defence and security, and other end-users. The global video analytics market is segmented - 1) By Component: Software, Services 2) By Organization Size: Small And Medium Enterprises, Large enterprise 3) By Deployment Model: On-Premise, Cloud 4) By End User: BFSI, Retail, Critical Infrastructure, Transportation And Logistics, Hospitality And Entertainment, Defense And Security, Other End-users The global video analytics market size will grow from $5.87 billion in 2022 to $7.17 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe.

The drop in crime rate due to surveillance cameras is expected to propel the growth of the video analytics market. Surveillance cameras produce a large number of videos and are an essential part of securing any infrastructure. Video analytics helps in reducing crime rates by automatically tracking and gaining reliable insights from video frames, thus reducing the chances of negligence or human errors. For instance, in 2021, according to a systematic review of rigorous studies in the US and UK concerning the crime prevention impact of CCTV, stated that CCTV resulted in a reduction of crimes, especially theft and robberies, in focal areas, and it had been the most effective in public transport schemes (23% reduction) and car parks (more than a 50% decrease). Therefore, the drop in crime rate due to surveillance cameras will drive the video analytics market growth. Major players in the video analytics market are Allgovision Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Aventura Technologies Inc., Cisco Inc., Honeywell Inc., Intell Vision technologies Corp., Qognify Inc., Gorilla Technology, IBM Corporation, Calipsa, Bosch Security, Huawei Technologies, Bosch Security Systems GmbH, Agent VI, Genetec Inc., and PureTech Systems Inc. Technological advancements are a key trend gaining popularity in the video analytics market. Major players in the market are focusing on advanced technologies to lead the market. For instance, in September 2022, Dallmeier Electronic GmbH & Co. KG, a Germany-based manufacturer of video security technology, introduced Sedor AI, artificial intelligence-based video analytics for maritime applications. Sedor AI software is designed to detect watercraft on open water surfaces in normal conditions as well as difficult environmental conditions such as waves and water reflections. The software application helps port operators and refineries to protect against unauthorized access from the waterside and associated risks such as terrorist attacks and piracy and it also complies with legal regulations such as the ISPS (International Ship and Port Facility Security)Code.
