• Also, the development of smart cities is one of the significant factors driving the market. Due to the growth of smart cities, the demand for video surveillance and connected devices across city buildings is expected to increase drastically. According to the Consumer Technology Association, consumer spending on traditional and emerging technologies is forecast to amount to USD 505 billion by the end of the current year.
• However, the surge in the overall cost, operational issues, and privacy issues related to video analytics and surveillance might be a factor that restrains the market's growth throughout the forecast period.
• The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the video analytics industry. The impact has been adverse on end users, such as retail, logistics, hospitality, and transportation, as the worldwide lockdowns created a slump in footfall. Thus, the demand for video analytics was also affected. Moreover, owing to the COVID-19 outbreak, government surveillance is rising globally.
