Security systems spending is projected to climb from USD 51.2 billion in 2024 to USD 78.5 billion by 2029, and video surveillance is accelerating even faster with a projected CAGR of 12.1% through 2030. That growth is reshaping everything from access control and biometric authentication to where deployments land, such as cloud platforms and IP cameras. The contrast between these category rates and the current market shares is exactly what makes the full dataset worth a closer look.
