Global AI Camera Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Growing Focus Towards Better Quality Cameras in Smartphones

Smartphone manufacturers are embedding artificial intelligence technology in their devices to recognize images. With this method, the phone identifies the object and applies a correction filter for a better-quality image. The use of AI cameras in smartphones also clarifies low-resolution pictures as the AI-vision engine predicts the missing pixels. This allows better quality full-display images. Additionally, AI cameras are also used for user authentication, emotion recognition, device management, etc. With these features, the demand for AI cameras in smartphone production is gaining significant traction, propelling the market forward.

Availability of a Wide Range of Products and Frequent Product Launches

Globally, the AI camera market is booming with a wide range of AI camera products of various brands and for various purposes. Because of the various brands competing in this market, the products are available to consumers at competitive prices, promoting the market growth. Additionally, manufacturers invest heavily in technological advancements and launch new products to gain a competitive edge. For instance, Google’s latest Pixel 6 camera now comes embedded with automated tools, such as smart blurs, object removal, skin tone exposure, etc.

Restraints

High Cost of AI Camera

An AI camera's price comprises the cost of embedding an AI platform, AI integration within the camera, and the services necessary to operate an AI platform. Furthermore, the cost includes the specialized labor required for the creation of AI platforms. This is a major impediment to the growth of the global AI camera market. The high cost of AI cameras eventually raises the price of consumer products such as smartphones, security systems, and so on, which can stifle market growth, particularly in price-sensitive markets such as India.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global AI Camera Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the global economy and humanity into crisis. Governments of different countries had to impose nationwide lockdowns due to the high infection rate and adverse impact on public health systems, affecting manufacturing, supply chains, trade, and related services. As a result of the shortage of semiconductor chips on the market, the manufacturing of smartphones and cameras was halted, causing obstructions in the production of AI cameras. Furthermore, the demand for AI cameras fell sharply as the people were quarantined to their homes, limiting the demand for security systems.

Global AI Camera Market - By Type

Based on types, the global AI camera market is segmented into a smartphone camera, surveillance camera, DSLR camera, and others. Among these, the surveillance camera segment accounts for the largest market share. AI cameras can blend HDR images in bright light, switch to multi-image capture in low light, and use computational imaging to create a stepless zoom effect with two or more camera modules. These features of AI surveillance cameras prove to be very beneficial in security systems, which is why their demand is growing at a high rate.

Global AI Camera Market - By Technology

Based on technologies, the global AI camera market is segmented into image/face recognition, voice/speech recognition, computer vision, and others. The image/face recognition technology holds the largest market share because of its prominent use in smartphones. Several smartphones today are capable of identifying objects and faces while taking photographs. The use of image/face recognition in security systems is also contributing to market growth. In addition, the integration of image/face recognition in cameras is prompting governments to invest in AI in sectors such as healthcare, transportation, and so on.

Global AI Camera Market - Regional Insights

Geographically, the global AI camera market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle-East & Africa. North America dominates the market as many consumer goods manufacturers in the region invest heavily in artificial intelligence. Additionally, smart homes with advanced security features are emerging as a major factor driving the growth of the AI camera market in developed countries such as the US and Canada. In addition, the high concentration of industry leaders, such as Google, Microsoft, Honeywell International, etc., plays a crucial role in driving the market's growth.
