2022'de Hindistan Fiziksel Güvenlik Pazarını Şekillendiren Trendler: Bileşen Eksikliğinden Yapay Zeka Büyümesine

As the turbulent year of 2021 approaches its end, anticipation builds for the trends that will shape the Indian physical security market in 2022. The previous years have seen the market emerge from a challenging period, and now, new dynamics and opportunities are on the horizon.

Component Shortage to Continue The worldwide component shortage crisis that started after 2020 has affected all electronics industries, slowing production and forcing innovation. “Things are slowly going back to normal,” explains Sudhindra Holla, Director for India and SAARC at Axis Communications, although challenges with longer lead times and component shortages remain.

“Make in India” to Gain Prominence A growing trend in manufacturing within India is emerging, fueled by governmental initiatives to encourage local production and reduce reliance on imports. Amit Kaushal, General Manager for Fire & Security at Honeywell India, highlights the growth opportunities for products developed or manufactured in India.

Growth of AI and Analytics The adoption of video analytics and AI in India is rising. Security systems are increasingly embracing facial recognition, vehicle number plate recognition, and other transformative technologies. Sandesh Kaup, Country Manager at Milestone Systems, emphasizes the advancements in AI and the emerging trend of forensic video analysis.

Automation and Cloud to Become Popular Automation is revolutionizing the physical security industry, with increased integration across various security systems. Cloud-based solutions are also gaining popularity, despite connectivity concerns, as they allow remote access to data and reduce the complexity and cost of on-premises storage.

Cybersecurity Becomes Even More Important In an era of technological advancement, cybersecurity is taking center stage. The pandemic has exposed vulnerabilities, raising awareness of the potential financial and reputational risks. Major companies like Honeywell are implementing secure and privacy-centric approaches to protect their products and systems.

Government Projects to Drive Demand Governmental initiatives are increasing the adoption of video surveillance equipment, with a focus on facility security, smart city projects, and public transport. The ongoing urban development and budget allocations for smart and safe city projects will likely continue to spur demand in the coming year.

Growing Despite Omicron The lingering impact of COVID-19 and the emergence of new variants continue to challenge businesses, but adaptation and technological innovation are driving growth. Demand is expected to rise for analytics and solutions that help comply with local guidelines, such as temperature screening and mask detection.
