Car Digital Video Recorder (DVR) Market Report 2026

The car digital video recorder (dvr) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.7 billion in 2025 to $3.96 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing road accidents, demand for driver accountability, fleet monitoring adoption, falling camera sensor costs, urban traffic congestion.

The car digital video recorder (dvr) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.17 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart mobility initiatives, insurance telematics growth, AI-based video analytics, connected car penetration, regulatory support for vehicle monitoring. Major trends in the forecast period include growth of multi-channel dash cameras, adoption of cloud-connected dvrs, rising demand from fleet operators, integration with adas features, expansion of video-based insurance use cases.

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.
