Omdia Shares Insights on Global Body Worn Camera and Digital Evidence Management Market
Global body worn camera and digital evidence management market reaches $1.85 Billion in 2023, driven by AI innovation and emerging commercial applications.
The total market for body worn cameras, in-car video systems, and Digital Evidence Management Software (DEMS) reached an impressive $1.85 billion in 2023, according to Omdia’s latest market report published at the end of 2024. The report highlights several key trends and developments shaping this rapidly evolving industry.
Expansion Beyond Law Enforcement
Compact body worn camera form factors are transforming the landscape of this market. These innovative devices are no longer limited to traditional law enforcement applications. With their smaller, more versatile designs, compact body worn cameras are now being widely adopted in commercial sectors such as retail, healthcare, and transportation. This trend has significantly expanded the total addressable market, unlocking new opportunities for vendors to diversify their offerings.
AI-Driven Advancements
Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a cornerstone technology for body worn cameras. AI-powered features, including advanced video analytics, automatic transcription, and real-time monitoring, are driving demand across industries. These capabilities enable organizations to extract actionable insights from video footage, enhancing operational efficiency and supporting informed decision-making processes.
Market Consolidation and Emerging Opportunities
The report also underscores a trend of market share consolidation among leading vendors. Since late 2019, the largest body worn camera vendors have steadily gained ground, with the top five players accounting for more than 70% of the market in 2023. However, emerging opportunities in the commercial sector have the potential to disrupt this pattern. New entrants are increasingly focusing on fast-growing commercial segments, where demand is accelerating, as opposed to the more saturated law enforcement market.
