Dashboard Camera Market Report 2026

The dashboard camera market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.41 billion in 2025 to $6.44 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing road accident rates, rising demand for insurance claim verification, growth in ride-hailing and fleet operations, early adoption of basic video recording devices, expansion of automotive aftermarket accessories.

The dashboard camera market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.84 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing integration of connected vehicle platforms, rising need for high-resolution imaging and night vision, growing importance of driver monitoring inside vehicles, integration of cloud storage and real-time data upload, expansion of smart and autonomous mobility ecosystems. Major trends in the forecast period include growing consumer preference for advanced driving assistance features, rising adoption of multi-channel dashcams, increased demand for rear-view and parking assistance cameras, integration of emergency recording and incident-detection features, expansion of aftermarket installation services.

The rising number of road accidents is contributing to the growth of the dashboard camera market. Road accidents are unexpected incidents on roads involving vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists that result in injury, death, or property damage, often caused by factors such as speeding, distracted driving, poor road conditions, or failure to obey traffic rules. The increase in road accidents is largely driven by higher vehicle congestion, which reduces maneuvering space, extends reaction times, and raises the likelihood of collisions. Dashboard cameras play a vital role in accident investigations by continuously recording high-definition video and audio of driving conditions, vehicle movements, and interactions with other road users, providing objective, time-stamped evidence to establish fault, assist law enforcement and insurance claims, and promote safer driving behaviors. For instance, in August 2025, the International Transport Forum, a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that Australia recorded 1,297 road deaths in 2024, a 4% increase compared to 2023. Therefore, the rise in road accidents is expected to drive the growth of the dashboard camera market.

The growing adoption of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is anticipated to further propel the dashboard camera market's growth. An advanced driver assistance system is a technological feature designed to enhance driving safety by reducing the frequency of auto accidents and mitigating the severity of those that cannot be avoided. Some dashcams are equipped with ADAS features that alert drivers in critical situations. For example, they monitor the road to detect if the driver is drifting off course. When combined, ADAS and dash cams can identify dangerous driving behaviors, notifying drivers if the system detects aggressive, distracted, or drowsy driving. According to the National Safety Council, a nonprofit organization in the U.S. promoting health and safety, by 2026, it is projected that at least half of all registered vehicles will be equipped with at least two ADAS. Additionally, around 71% of registered vehicles are expected to have rear cameras, and 60% will feature rear parking sensors. However, only about 13% of registered vehicles are likely to have adaptive headlights, and 17% are expected to be equipped with adaptive cruise control with lane centering by 2026. Therefore, the increasing adoption of advanced driver assistance systems will drive the growth of the dashboard camera market.

Companies in the dashboard camera market are actively engaged in developing new and innovative products to fortify their market presence. For example, in March 2023, BlackVue, a South Korea-based dashcam manufacturer, unveiled the DR770X Box - a triple-camera cloud-compatible dashcam with a separate secure recording unit. Tailored for drivers and fleet owners seeking elevated security and discretion, the DR770X Box features front, interior, and rear cameras linked to a lock-protected Box recording device. The latter can be conveniently stored in the glove box through a coaxial video connection. The interior camera is equipped with infrared LEDs, enabling recording even in complete darkness. Furthermore, the cameras boast Full HD Sony STARVISTM image sensors, ensuring optimal image quality in varying lighting conditions. Additionally, the DR770X Box Truck variant is designed for installation in larger vehicles such as box trucks and buses, featuring an externally mounted rear camera and a fifteen-meter video connection.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the dashboard camera market by increasing the costs of imported components such as image sensors, lenses, processors, and storage modules, which raises production expenses and disrupts supply chains. The impact is strongest in segments dependent on high-resolution imaging and smart connectivity features, with Asia-Pacific regions - particularly China, Taiwan, and South Korea being most affected due to their role as major manufacturing hubs. These tariffs slow product availability and elevate prices, prompting manufacturers to diversify suppliers, localize assembly, and optimize designs to reduce tariff-exposed components. Positively, tariffs are encouraging regional manufacturing investments and driving innovation toward more cost-effective, integrated, and durable dashcam solutions.
