Digital Video Recorder Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing penetration of mobile computing devices is notably driving the digital video recorder (DVR) market growth, although factors such as the slow internet speed leads to disruptions in video surveillance may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the digital video recorder industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Digital Video Recorder Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global digital video recorder industry growth is the increasing penetration of mobile computing devices. The growth is attributed to factors such as:
- The growing digital literacy
- Rising per capita income
- Availability of low-cost smartphones
- Investments in communication network infrastructure
- Increasing Internet penetration
According to Technavio, global smartphone shipments in 2020 were recorded at 1,785.50 million units, which are expected to reach 1,655.00 million units by 2023. All vendors in the market offer subscription video on demand (SVOD), advertisement-based video on demand, and TVOD formats, such as Netflix, Amazon.com, and AT&T. The growing penetration of mobile devices encouraged market vendors to develop mobile apps for streaming. These apps also record the personal information of users, which helps vendors retain customers through target advertising. Thus, the increasing penetration of mobile computing devices will positively impact the growth of the global DVR market during the forecast period.
Key Digital Video Recorder Market Trend
Advent of smart AI-based video surveillance is one of the key digital video recorder market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. AI uses smart automation to analyze large volumes of surveillance data to derive intelligent insights. For instance, Intel Movidius leverages AI and deep learning to make surveillance proactive by detecting unattended objects and behavior monitoring. Smart AI-based video surveillance systems include intrusion detection; motion; speed detection, object classification, behavioral analysis, GPS mapping, and vehicle tagging and tracking. Companies such as IC Realtime are working on facial recognition. The company offers Ella, which runs on Google Cloud, deploys AI to conduct video feed analysis across CCTV systems, and makes videos instantly searchable. Companies such as Kipod also offer AI-based video surveillance solutions. Countries such as China encourage the use of AI. Such factors will further support the growth of the market in the forecast years.
Key Digital Video Recorder Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global digital video recorder industry growth is the slow internet speed leads to disruptions in video surveillance and the high cost of transmitting videos. Most broadband or high-speed Internet service providers provide asymmetric connections. Moreover, Internet speed has been low in developing countries such as India and China due to low spending on infrastructure. The speed of the Internet depends on the optical fiber, available bandwidth, and satellite network connections. In most countries in Europe and MEA, the generated network traffic is routed through servers located in Europe, which is the main reason for the low speed of the Internet. As for video surveillance, a high upload speed is required for transmitting video feeds, which may hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
