The increasing number of road accidents is expected to propel the growth of the car digital video recorder market going forward. The increasing number of road accidents is due to distracted driving, where drivers often use mobile phones or engage in other activities that take their attention away from the road, increasing the likelihood of collisions. Car digital video recorders are beneficial for preventing road accidents as they provide clear, objective video evidence of events leading up to and during the incident, helping to determine fault and support insurance claims. For instance, in January 2024, according to the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE), an Australia-based government body, tragically, 1,266 people died on Australian roads in 2023, a 7.3% increase from 2022. Therefore, the increasing number of road accidents is driving the growth of the car digital video recorder market.

Major companies operating in the car digital video recorder market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as in-car video rear or side cameras, to provide recorded evidence in case of collisions or disputes. In-car video rear or side cameras are devices installed in vehicles to capture visual footage from the rear or side angles, enhancing visibility and safety by monitoring surrounding activity. For instance, in August 2024, i-PRO Co. Ltd., a Japan-based company specializing in advanced sensing technologies, launched the WV-VCR40W in-car video rear or side camera. This camera is part of the i-PRO ICV4000 system and delivers high-resolution, wide-angle video coverage. It's specifically tailored for law enforcement, emergency responders, and military personnel use. The device allows comprehensive monitoring from the vehicle's rear, side, or back seat. The ICV4000 and WV-VCR40W enable seamless and efficient uploading of video evidence to the i-PRO Unified Digital Evidence (UDE) management system through Wi-Fi, a mobile router, or a mobile data terminal with cellular connectivity. UDE streamlines the process for officers and investigators by allowing them to store, manage, review, and share footage from in-vehicle and body-worn cameras within a single, integrated platform.

In January 2025, Ross Video, a Canada-based equipment manufacturer for live events and video production, acquired EagleEye for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Ross enhances its camera motion systems portfolio with an expanded selection of innovative solutions, including immersive cable camera perspectives for diverse productions. EagleEye is a US-based manufacturer of car digital video recorders.
