The rising incidence of cybercrimes is expected to drive the growth of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) video surveillance camera market. Cybercrimes involve illegal activities using computers or the internet to steal data, money, or disrupt systems. This increase is fueled by rapid digitalization, as growing online activities create more vulnerabilities for attackers. GCC video surveillance cameras help mitigate cybercrime risks by strengthening physical security at critical infrastructure, data centers, and offices, deterring unauthorized access that could lead to digital breaches, and providing recorded evidence for investigating cyber-related incidents. For example, in September 2023, Khaleej Times, a UAE-based media company, reported 351 cybercrime cases in the first half of 2023, up from 117 during the same period the previous year, marking a significant rise. Therefore, the growing number of cybercrimes is driving the GCC video surveillance camera market.

Key players in the GCC video surveillance camera market are concentrating on creating advanced solutions, such as AI-powered radiometric thermal cameras, to boost security monitoring, enhance threat detection, and deliver real-time analytics for critical infrastructure and public safety. An AI-based radiometric thermal camera combines infrared radiation detection with artificial intelligence algorithms to accurately measure temperature differences, identify objects or individuals, and provide real-time analytics for security, safety, or industrial monitoring purposes. For instance, in January 2024, Hanwha Vision Co. Ltd., a South Korean video surveillance company, introduced a comprehensive range of AI-powered security solutions aimed at improving real-time threat detection, analytics, and automated monitoring in commercial and industrial settings. These solutions enhance safety by minimizing false alarms and enabling rapid, precise responses to incidents. They also increase operational efficiency by optimizing resource allocation and simplifying investigations through accurate data analytics. The goal is to shift surveillance from passive observation to proactive security and business intelligence, aiding organizations in protecting assets, ensuring safety, and facilitating smarter decision-making.
