Just days ago, IMS Research told Security Magazine that, while it has cut its video surveillance growth forecasts from those made in November 2008, the market will still grow.
Market conditions are expected to be significantly tougher in the UK, Germany, Japan and the US than previously forecast. The retail market, which is the largest consumer of video surveillance equipment, will contract. This, coupled with weaker growth in other commercial markets, will impact growth for both the analogue and network video surveillance markets.
