Market Share by Application

Surveillance and traffic management is expected to account for a significant smart traffic camera market share. The utilisation of smart traffic cameras for traffic management and surveillance helps in avoiding traffic collisions. Surveillance aids in deterring road hazards as the continuous recording increases the attentiveness of the drivers and they are more likely to obey traffic laws. The smart cameras compute traffic information, capture video streams, and transfer traffic information and compressed video streams to a network node.

Market Share by Region

The Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increasing investments by various governments of developing countries including China and India towards advanced traffic management solutions for eliminating the problem of traffic congestion and identifying traffic violators. Increasing incidences of accidents is propelling the requirement for smart traffic monitoring and managing solutions, boosting the smart traffic camera market demand.
