Furthermore, rising automation in modern buildings is expected to boost the demand for video intercom devices.
The increasing trend of smart and connected homes is expected to positively impact the market growth. Moreover, supportive government initiatives like smart city projects are projected to surge the product demand in the next few years. Advanced security systems provide high efficiency and help to keep track of residential and office buildings.
However, the high maintenance cost for video devices is expected to restrain the growth of the market. Moreover, the frequency overlapping interrupts the signaling process in the communication system.
The video intercom device market is divided into video baby monitors, handheld devices, and door entry systems depending on the type of device. The door entry system is projected to lead the market by the end of 2025. It provides improved visual quality and also includes functions such as keyless control and operating functions. Handheld devices are projected to grow at a substantial rate over the forecast period. These devices are broadly used in restaurants, hotels, and service centers. Moreover, these devices are equipped with microphones that have the noise-canceling ability and produce digital sound. All these key features are expected to boost market growth.
Access controls are comprised of password access, wireless access, proximity cards, and fingerprint readers. The password access segment is anticipated to hold the largest share in the overall market. Password access offers better security; it includes encryption and decryption of data wherein the approved fingerprint is necessary. Wireless access is integrated with a private cloud system that prevents unauthorized access to internet networking. These systems are used in the home automation, surveillance, and security sector. Wireless access controls provide high connectivity through Wi-Fi services.
The market is divided into wireless and wired devices depending on the system. In 2018, the wired systems segment led the market with the highest share. This growth is attributed to its high convenience and easy installation. Wireless devices are available at affordable prices and also provide secured access control. These systems are featured with a smart lock, audiovisual surveillance, keyless entry, and motion detection. Additionally, this system can be navigated through touchscreen monitors with easy operation.
The technology segment is comprised of IP-based and analog technologies. The IP-based system is anticipated to propel at the highest CAGR during the forecasted period. These devices are easy to install and available at low costs. IP-based devices include CCTV cameras, SIP phones, and video recorders. This technology provides high-quality video regardless of other receiving devices. Analog devices are not recommended for duplex-type communication. These key benefits are expected to positively impact the market growth.
End-use segments include commercial, residential, government, automotive, and others. Intercom devices are widely used for security and protection from intruders in the residential sector. The devices are interconnected with access control and CCTV cameras with the help of IP terminals. This equipment comes with customized solutions to ensure safety and security applications.
In the automotive sector intercom devices helps to track and communicate through door stations. This system is equipped with an IP camera, IP touchscreens, microphone & speakers, and A/V communication systems.
In 2018, North America accounted for the largest revenue share in the overall market. It is anticipated to continue its dominance over the next few years, owing to the growing number of smart cities initiatives across Canada and the U.S. Furthermore, rapid growth in the commercial and residential sector is projected to surge the market growth. Asia Pacific is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR from 2019 to 2025. Growing demand for organization's security & safety is boosting the demand for intercom devices in countries such as China and India.
COVID-19 crisis has interrupted the supply chain and manufacturing activities of all electronics devices. However, the long-term prospect for the market is expected to remain positive. Several video devices manufacturing companies have restarted their production.
Amid coronavirus pandemic, government institutions are adapting to video intercom devices as they offer enhanced collaborative experience and help to make faster decisions. Additionally, automotive companies are emphasizing automating manufacturing processes. This is expected to increase the need for video intercom devices to enhance communication & collaborative abilities.
Leading players in the market include Alpha Communications; Dahua Technology Co., Ltd.; Aiphone Co., Ltd.; Comelit Group S.P.A.; Legrand; Honeywell International Inc.; Godrej.Com; Samsung; and Siedle & Sohne OHG.
Manufacturers engage in new strategic acquisitions and partnerships to increase their presence across the globe. In addition, these companies engage in new product launches, R&D activities to expand their product portfolio.
