Security industry video surveillance market growth in line with expectations

During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, along with the sustained and rapid development of the national economy, China’s security industry continued to maintain rapid development driven by government departments and the promotion of “Peace City”, “Olympic Games” and “Expo” events. The momentum of growth has been fully developed and improved in industries, enterprises, technology, markets, corporate brands, and cultural construction.

In terms of geographical distribution, China’s security industry has formed the “Pearl River Delta” region, which is mainly characterized by the gathering of electronic security product manufacturing enterprises, and the “Yangtze River Delta” region with high-tech and foreign-funded enterprises gathering as the main features, as well as integrated applications. The three major industrial clusters in the “Ring Bohai” region where software and service companies are clustered are the main features. According to data from China Business Intelligence Network, the total output value of the national security industry in 2010 reached 230 billion yuan, and the average annual growth during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period exceeded 20%.

After 2011, the “3111 Project” entered the overall promotion stage and was promoted to each prefecture-level city with an overall investment of nearly 100 billion yuan. A safe city project in a medium-sized city can invest more than 5 billion yuan in video surveillance systems. At present, there are more than 2,300 cities and counties in China.

In recent years, the government’s continuous investment in infrastructure construction and the rapid development of some industries have made the application of video surveillance in urban public transport, education, water conservancy, petrochemical, and power industries rise. For example, in the transportation sector, from 2008 to 2012, the Yangtze River Delta region will invest 200 billion yuan in rail transit, Beijing’s local transportation infrastructure investment will exceed 150 billion yuan, and Guangdong’s transportation infrastructure investment will exceed 200 billion yuan.

Analysts of China Business Intelligence Network expect that the scale of the domestic video surveillance market in 2011 will reach around 55 billion yuan, an increase of nearly 30% year-on-year. Driven by strong market demand, domestic video surveillance companies have grown rapidly. Leading companies have continuously increased research and development, attached importance to brand cultivation, and achieved rapid growth in business performance.
