Cctv Industry Statistics

With cloud video surveillance projected to grow at a 20.6% CAGR from 2024 to 2030 and the global security and surveillance market reaching an estimated USD 82.2 billion U.S. spend growth through 2030, this page shows where buyers are moving next, fast. It also pairs that momentum with hard security realities such as ransomware hitting 11.1% of organizations in 2023 and the average data breach costing USD 1.0 million, plus what recent codec and ONVIF compatibility trends mean for keeping CCTV systems both efficient and usable.
