Axis
Remains the World Leader in Network and Security Cameras
and now also Number One in Video Encoders
IHS: IP camera sales to account for 50
percent of global camera sales by 2014
CHELMSFORD, Mass. – June 19, 2013 –
Axis Communications, the world leader in network
video surveillance, retains its global market-leading
position in network cameras and security cameras
categories, and has also taken first place in video
encoders. This is shown in a new report from
information and analytics firm IHS.
“We have further strengthened our position due to our
long-term strategy of continuous releases of innovative
network video products and the fact that we offer
high-quality security solutions in a global market in
conjunction with our loyal partners,” says Ray
Mauritsson, President of Axis Communications. “IHS
estimates continued high market growth, however,
slightly lower than previously, over the next five
years. IHS also indicates the market today is more
fragmented, with many vendors offering network video
products for security solutions.”
Axis is still
ranked number one and is the global market leader in
the network cameras as well as security cameras
categories. The security cameras category includes both
analog cameras and network cameras.
In 2012, Axis further strengthened its market position
by
taking first place in the video encoders category. A
video encoder is a product that connects to an analog
camera and digitizes the video signal to make it
possible to use the advantages of a network solution.
According to IHS, network cameras will account for more
than 50 percent of global surveillance camera sales by
2014. This can be compared to network cameras’ share of
global sales in 2012, which amounted to approximately 40
percent, according to IHS Research.
