Market Trends of Video Processing Solutions Industry
Surge in Demand for Multi-screen Video-on-Demand Application
- The demand for surveillance, security cameras, CCTV cameras, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), etc., and the volume of video footage is rising due to low-cost cameras. It is challenging to maintain track of statistics manually to retrieve real-time information, and doing so would also cost money. Businesses are outsourcing this task to video processing companies to save a handful of time and effort.
- Worker safety is a primary concern in the manufacturing industry. The installed CCTV cameras are only used for remote facility monitoring and tracking. However, automating the alerts for any safety or security-related issue is necessary. Here, video processing comes into the picture as it eliminates the need for dedicated staff to constantly watch the video footage in real-time.
- The prevalence of mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, and other devices, has made the mobile screen the predominant platform for viewing video-on-demand content. As a result, content providers are optimizing their services for mobile devices and creating mobile-friendly applications to improve the user experience.
- For instance, the most downloaded entertainment app globally in 2022 was Tiktok, with a total of 672 million downloads, according to Apptopia. Netflix followed in second place with 165 million downloads, and YouTube was in third place with 154 million downloads from users worldwide. Disney+, a mobile application for streaming services, ranked fourth globally with 147 million downloads.
- In April 2023, Shabodi and Megh Computing developed a network-aware video analytics solutions suite that will be effective across various industrial use cases, including real-time security and surveillance. The solution will likely help in smart factory frameworks' quality control, safety monitoring, and process optimization. The duo will showcase their product at the Hannover Messe Industrial Transformation Conference.
- While over-the-top (OTT) expansion has created new opportunities and revenue streams, it has also oversaturated the market with service providers. In such a competitive market, OTT providers invest in video processing solutions to generate the maximum return on investment in content creation. For instance, Fluid EdgeCDN, developed by Synamedia, provides scalable, smart, and effective CDN operations. With features like a sophisticated traffic prediction engine, ISPs can offer extra CDN capacity while giving the rights holder a portion of the profits.

Asia-Pacific to Witness Significant Growth
- Domestic security spending has increased in the Asia-Pacific region. Security agencies have been encouraged to use video processing solutions for improved monitoring and surveillance applications due to the increased number of CCTV installations in public gatherings or places with high footfalls, like airports and railway stations. For instance, in India, the states like Indore, Hyderabad, and New Delhi are some of the most surveilled cities in the world.
- Artificial intelligence-driven video surveillance systems offer various advantages, including scalability and adaptability, which enable them to be tailored to provide contextual information and safety in multiple settings.
- For instance, in March 2022, the National Railways of the Philippines implemented a video analytics solution to detect potential safety hazards, such as destroying boom gate barriers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the system proved advantageous with its capability of thermal imaging software, as it was also used to identify passengers and employees with elevated body temperature indications before entering railway facilities.
- Video consumption in Asia-Pacific is growing at a rapid rate. Video streaming services, such as over-the-top (OTT) services and social media videos, have seen a surge in popularity, prompting the demand for video processing solutions that can produce high-quality content. For instance, the OTT category is no longer a niche in Asia-Pacific, and the market is surging with time. In India, about 454 million users watched an online video at least once a month in 2022, with 119.5 million active paid subscriptions across OTT platforms. Most OTT enthusiasts demand high picture quality. OTT providers use video processing solutions for detailed, high-quality 4K video technology.
- Content providers continuously explore new compression techniques to meet the increasing demand for global video streaming. With the proliferation of devices, platforms, and standards, numerous optimization points exist to consider when providing video at a quality level and appropriate bitrate.
- For instance, in September 2022, MediaKind enabled live UHD OTT VVC streaming, running entirely on Microsoft's Azure public-cloud platform through its Aquila Streaming solution. This solution is expected to fulfill the need for new compression methods required by content providers to ensure consumer expectations for a high-quality viewing experience are met.
