According to Coherent Market Insights, The global Webcams market was valued at US$ 6,524 Mn in 2019 and is expected to reach US$ 11,843 Mn by 2027 at a CAGR of 8.9% between 2020 and 2027.

Over the projected period, the market is likely to rise due to rising demand for real-time monitoring devices in residential areas, business and logistical security, and video conferencing. Webcams are also in high demand among producers of temporary surveillance appliances for recording anti-social conduct, vandalism, fly-tipping, and detecting criminals exploiting public property.

Webcams are video cameras that employ analogue or digital signals to record real-time pictures or movies. Modern devices are more technologically sophisticated, with improved streaming quality, resolution, frame rate, built-in microphones, and noise cancellation, to name a few features. Webcams are rapidly being used in a variety of applications, including video conferencing, live streaming, and real-time monitoring, thanks to technological developments.

The increased deployment of monitoring devices by federal agencies as part of their digitization initiatives is expected to boost market growth during the projected period. Surveillance systems are being used by a number of countries across the world to protect key infrastructure and public spaces.

Security and surveillance applications in residential areas, such as household security and outdoor safety in smart infrastructure, have seen a significant increase in the market. Webcams are also used for remote surveillance during live events and in industries such as corporate healthcare. Webcams are largely utilised in the healthcare industry for remote patient monitoring and telehealth operators' communication via store-and-forward and real-time techniques.

Due to quick innovation and the integration of new technology into product offerings to appeal to a large client base, the industry has developed. Webcams have gone a long way since Connectix's first commercial camera, QuickCam, which could capture a 320*240-pixel resolution with a grayscale depth of 256 colours at 15 frames per second in 1994.

Because of the widespread use of internet-connected devices, digital networks have become more vulnerable to assaults, posing security risks. Because webcams are linked to computers and internet connections, the potential of data being uploaded over the internet network being compromised is considerable. As a result, governments throughout the world are concentrating on enacting strict rules to ensure the safety and security of sensitive data. California's state government passed a bill called "Security of Connected Devices" to secure customer data processed through Internet of Things (IoT) devices against destruction, illegal access, use, or disclosure.
