PTZ Camera Market: Overview

A pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera is a scanning and recording device mounted to a surface but the camera lens is capable of moving in multiple directions including swiveling right to left, zooming in and out of space, and tilting up and down. These devices are typically used to scan wide areas and are equipped to manage a 180 to 360-degree viewing angle. PTZ cameras can be mostly found in spaces that require constant monitoring as responsible personnel can control the camera remotely and view transmitted information on screens installed in a safe and private facility.

These cameras are considered, by many, as the most versatile cameras currently available especially for security purposes. Furthermore, depending on the model and software of the PTZ camera, they can be triggered to follow motion-dependent activity or follow a pre-set schedule for recording and transmitting captured images and video. In most cases, PTZ cameras are part of a larger surveillance infrastructure and are used to take detailed shots of specific areas. The growing demand in the PTZ camera industry is expected to continue during the forecast period.

PTZ Camera Market: Growth Drivers

Growing sports and live entertainment industry to directly impact market demand

The global PTZ camera market is projected to grow owing to the increasing investments in the sports and entertainment industry across the globe. In recent times, several nations have invested higher resources in encouraging sports tourism as a means to boost their respective regional economies. The growing number of people actively following sports and entertainment events or personalities plays a crucial role in putting a country or region on the global map. In order to attract more people toward the thriving industry, building a supporting infrastructure is the primary concern resulting in higher investments in world-class and state-of-the-art stadiums or venues that can host thousands of people at once.

These facilities are equipped with PTZ cameras at multiple checkpoints including parking lots, entry and exit points, and other corners or areas of the large facility. Since PTZ cameras are extremely versatile and can be controlled remotely to zoom in or zoom out, they have proven to enhance security-related aspects of large crowd gatherings. As the number of venue infrastructure development projects grows, the demand for powerful PTZ cameras will continue to rise. In June 2023, the Saudi Arabian government was reported to hold multiple discussions with construction companies that can contribute to the country's Stadiums Development Program. In February 2023, Saudi Arabia announced that it would be hosting the 33rd Asian Football Federation Congress to be held in 2027. More investments are expected to construct new stadiums while renovating existing ones.

Growing national security threats to create scope for efficient surveillance-facilitating devices

A pan-tilt-zoom camera offers excellent assistance in surveying surrounding areas as it can focus on people, objects, and products with detailed video or images. They are one of the best and most-suited recording devices currently available in the market for surveillance purposes. The recent and ongoing war between Russia-Ukraine and Iraq-Hamas along with other terrorism-related incidents has resulted in countries upgrading surveillance systems for national security reasons. PTZ cameras are deployed on crosswalks and other spaces that are generally accessed by many people to track and avoid any unwanted incident thus impacting the demand in the global market.

PTZ Camera Market: Restraints

Technical challenges in terms of field of view may restrict market growth

Pan-tilt-zoom cameras have a large field of view and although the devices can move along 3 axes, they can simultaneously pan, tilt, or zoom. This lack of features can lead to significant gaps in coverage since the camera cannot record areas where the lens is not pointed. This leads to a dangerous possibility of an incident occurring in a particular area when the camera is turned in another direction. Intruders may remain undetected if they succeed in avoiding the camera’s field of view. Manufacturers of PTZ cameras are continuously working toward working on these drawbacks such as the launch of automatic motion detection and panning capabilities, however, the cost of advanced cameras is too high, further creating growth barriers.

PTZ Camera Market: Opportunities

Market players offering advanced and new camera features may lead to a higher consumption rate

The global PTZ camera industry players are expected to encounter new expansion avenues due to the latest advancements made in terms of PTZ camera features and capabilities. In October 2023, Canon India announced the launch of a new range of remote PTZ cameras including outdoor CR-X300 and CR-X500 remote PTZ cameras and CR-N100 remote PTZ cameras. They are equipped with 4K video capturing technology and can be used in several settings such as theme parks, animal observatories, sports broadcasting, and others. In June 2023, i-PRO Co. Ltd., a global leader providing professional security solutions for public safety and surveillance, launched Rapid PTZ. It is a high-speed PTZ camera with 4K resolution and infrared (IR) illumination.

The camera range is the smallest in its category and is equipped with a large range of resolution options along with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. In October 2022, Panasonic took a similar leap in terms of PTZ technology when it launched the AW-UE160W/K camera range. It is the industry’s first Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE ST2110) compatible PTZ camera and is expected to help reduce the burden on shooting units thus catering to the evolving needs of the broadcasting industry and the entertainment industries.

PTZ Camera Market: Challenges

Reducing latency period and tough competition from alternate solutions to challenge market growth rate

The PTZ camera market growth rate will be limited since most PTZ cameras have significant latency periods. It is the time lag between an operator issuing a command and the camera acting on it. However, market players are working on ensuring more precise and smooth control which can be challenging to achieve. Additionally, there are multiple other options available for recording and capturing videos and images such as rotating cameras, network cameras, and others. These units also enjoy significant market share leading to industry fragmentation.
