A breakdown of the global physical security equipment and services market, presented by IHS, shows that the biggest growth will be in the niche services segment. Traditional video surveillance and access control (which dominate at 52.5 percent and 13.1 percent of the world market respectively) are expected to grow till 2020 at a CAGR of a little over 6 percent. However, niche services, such as cloud-based access control (holding 0.9 percent of the world market), will grow 16.3 percent CAGR. Video analytics, a mere 0.1 percent of the world market, will almost double, with an expected CAGR of 44.7 percent till 2020. This growth in analytics is attributed to growing market confidence and realistic expectations from video analytics. The accuracy in identifying events is improving and consequently there are less false alarms.
Another high performing segment is enterprise storage, growing due to the increased use of video surveillance and the demand for longer retention times. The enterprise storage for video surveillance market is estimated at US$1.6 billion USD or 5.6 percent of the world market. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.9 percent till 2020. As such, the storage market is unique as it will deliver both high growth and high revenue.
