CIS-Based Surveillance Market Grows in ASEAN Amid Urban Security Focus

The ASEAN half-inch CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) based surveillance camera market is poised for steady growth, projected to rise from US$ 17.88 Mn in 2021 to US$ 28.63 Mn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period (2022–2031), according to a recent industry report. This growth is underpinned by rising concerns for security across commercial and residential sectors, along with increasing adoption of smart surveillance systems featuring artificial intelligence (AI), IP technology, and cloud connectivity.

 

Market Overview: Surveillance cameras are a crucial component of modern security infrastructure, offering advanced features such as remote monitoring, AI analytics, and cloud-based data storage. Half-inch CIS-based cameras are gaining traction for their superior imaging quality, energy efficiency, and ability to function in diverse lighting conditions.

These cameras are being increasingly adopted in residential complexes, retail outlets, commercial buildings, transport systems, and government infrastructures across ASEAN countries, reflecting the broader trend toward urbanization and smart city initiatives.

 

Market Drivers & Trends

Several key factors are contributing to market expansion:

• High Demand for Intelligent Surveillance: Businesses and governments are adopting smart surveillance to detect, analyze, and respond to abnormal activities in real time. Edge-based AI algorithms in thermal and temperature detection cameras have become vital, especially for public spaces.
• Rise in 24/7 Imaging Requirements: There is a growing need for continuous surveillance, which has increased demand for high-resolution, low-light-capable, and AI-enabled camera systems.
• Security Prioritization in Commercial Spaces: Offices, banks, and malls require real-time monitoring for employee safety, theft prevention, and operational analysis.
• Quanta Image Sensor (QIS) Technology: The emergence of QIS technology is expected to revolutionize CMOS sensors by offering even higher image quality and enhanced low-light performance.

 

Latest Market Trends

The ASEAN half-inch CIS based surveillance camera market is witnessing a surge in cloud-based video services and innovative camera models:

• Growth of Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS): With cloud platforms eliminating the need for on-premise servers, VSaaS is becoming popular among small and medium businesses for its scalability and cost-effectiveness.
• Transition from Analog to IP Cameras: In 2021, IP cameras held a dominant market share of 72.56% and are expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 5.2%, driven by easy installation, remote access, and low maintenance.
• Preference for Bullet Cameras: Bullet cameras, known for their durability and visibility, are in high demand, accounting for 32.63% of the market in 2021. They are forecast to grow at 5.4% CAGR due to their suitability in varying weather conditions.
