“In the next few years, western parts of India such as Maharashtra and Gujarat are expected to witness double-digit growth rates for video surveillance in verticals like retail, business, and financial services,” said Manu Tiwari, Program Manager, Measurement & Instrumentation Practice, Frost & Sullivan. “While north India’s planned National Investment and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZ) corridors and freight corridors are driving strong revenue base anticipation from Government and manufacturing verticals, South India is ensured a healthy demand for video surveillance due to a booming service sector and large manufacturing companies. With not many enterprises based in the East, the growth is expected to be over a small base, hence, is relatively low."

To succeed in an evolving ecosystem, service providers should:

• Provide flexibility in deployment models;
• Offer a wide range of options such as live-only (real-time viewing) camera storage, on-premise storage, and cloud-based storage;
• Ensure redundancy in the service to minimize downtime;
• Provide a minimum of 15-20% cost savings to customers who invest in VSaaS; and
• Enter into partnerships for market penetration.

“Currently, video surveillance is an under-penetrated market in India,” observed Tiwari. “To augment adoption, there is an urgent need to educate customers about security, surveillance, and analytics associated benefits to businesses.”
