Car Digital Video Recorder (DVR) Global Market Report 2025

The car digital video recorder (DVR) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.45 billion in 2024 to $3.7 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising vehicle theft and accident incidences, increasing adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems, growing demand for evidence-based insurance claims, heightened driver awareness of road safety, and expanding integration of AI and IoT technologies in dash cameras.

The car digital video recorder (DVR) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.85 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing popularity of ride-sharing and fleet management services, rising preference for high-resolution and multi-channel dash cameras, growing adoption of connected car technologies, increasing consumer focus on in-car security solutions, and expanding availability of affordable dash cam models. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in AI-powered video analytics, development of cloud-connected dash cam solutions, innovation in compact and multi-channel camera designs, progress in night vision and infrared recording technologies, and introduction of subscription-based dash cam services.

The increasing incidences of vehicular crashes and accidents are expected to propel the growth of the car digital video recorder (DVR) market going forward. Vehicular crashes and accidents refer to incidents involving one or more vehicles resulting in damage, injury, or loss of life due to factors such as driver error, mechanical failure, or adverse road and weather conditions. The rise in vehicular crashes and accidents is driven by distracted driving, as the growing use of mobile phones and in-car screens reduces drivers’ focus and reaction time on the road. Car digital video recorders (DVRs) help mitigate the impact of vehicular crashes and accidents by recording real-time driving events, providing evidence for accident analysis, and promoting safer driving behavior. For instance, in April 2025, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a US-based government agency, approximately 39,345 people lost their lives in traffic crashes in 2024. Therefore, increasing incidences of vehicular crashes and accidents are driving the growth of the car digital video recorder (DVR) market.

Key companies operating in the car digital video recorder (DVR) market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as parking surveillance and anti-file corruption software to enhance vehicle security and ensure reliable data recording. Parking surveillance and anti-file corruption software refer to advanced dash cam features that enable continuous monitoring of a parked vehicle to capture any incidents or movement while ensuring video files remain protected from damage or loss through reliable data integrity management. For instance, in December 2023, THINKWARE Corporation, a South Korea-based technology company, announced the launch of the F70 PRO, marking a significant upgrade in its dash cam lineup. Building on the success of its predecessor, the F70 PRO offers a super compact design paired with a 1080p Full HD front camera for enhanced video clarity. It features advanced parking surveillance to ensure vehicle safety even when parked and incorporates anti-file corruption software for reliable data protection. This launch highlights THINKWARE’s continued innovation and commitment to delivering premium in-car recording solutions.

In August 2025, VINCI SA, a France-based concessions and construction company, in partnership with ACS Group, a Spain-based construction group, acquired COBRA IS for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, VINCI SA partnered with ACS Group to strengthen its global infrastructure and industrial services portfolio by integrating the expertise of COBRA IS to enhance energy, technology, and engineering capabilities. COBRA IS is a Spain-based industrial services company specializing in car DVR solutions.

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.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the transport sector, particularly in fleet maintenance and logistics operations. Higher duties on imported commercial vehicles, tires, and engine components have increased operational costs for trucking and freight companies, forcing them to raise shipping rates or reduce margins. Airlines and maritime shippers face similar pressures, with tariffs on aircraft parts and shipbuilding materials driving up capital expenditures. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in key export markets have reduced demand for U.S.-made transportation equipment, further straining revenue streams. The sector must now prioritize fuel efficiency, alternative sourcing, and automation to offset rising expenses while maintaining service reliability.
