Genetec, Milestone Systems and Motorola Solutions have grown to become the ‘Big 3’ suppliers of video surveillance software, video analytics and managed services.
According to a new report from Novaira Insights, the global market for video surveillance software and managed services was worth US$ 2.2 billion in 2020, with around 69% of this outside China. However, the supply base outside China is very different to that of the Chinese domestic market.

The world, excluding China, is served not only by the ‘Big 3’, but also by a multitude of other international suppliers, each with a small market share of less than 3%. In comparison, China is served by domestic suppliers, such as Hikvision, Dahua and ‘AI unicorns’, including SenseTime and Megvii.
The report titled, ‘The world market for video surveillance hardware and software’, shows that outside China, the market for of video surveillance software and managed services continued to grow slightly in 2020, despite the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. Growth in the Americas was highest. Here, revenues from video surveillance software and managed services grew 8.8% in 2020.
Cloud infrastructure and software managed services
Many end-users took advantage of facilities being closed, to upgrade their software solutions
Many end-users took advantage of facilities being closed, to upgrade their software solutions. This focus on upgrading software led to end-users re-evaluating their entire back-end architectures.
This resulted in greater use of cloud in architectures and increased spending on software managed services. These factors contributed to acceleration in the proportion of revenues from recurring spending. The report forecasts high average annual growth of 12.1% in the world, excluding market from 2020 to 2025 period.

Furthermore, the bounds of what is classified as video surveillance software, continues to expand with additional and sometimes specialist functionality, brought about by integrations of video analytics and other sensors.”
