One billion surveillance cameras will be deployed globally by
2021, according to data compiled by IHS Markit and first
reported by The Wall Street Journal. China’s installed base is
expected to rise to over 560 million cameras by 2021,
representing the largest share of surveillance devices installed
globally, with the US rising to around 85 million cameras. When
taking populations into account, China will continue to have
nearly the same ratio of cameras to citizens as the US.
In 2018, China had 350 million cameras installed for an
estimated one camera for every 4.1 people. That compared to one
for every 4.6 people in the US where 70 million cameras were
installed. Taiwan was third in terms of penetration with one
camera for every 5.5 citizens in 2018, followed by the UK and
Ireland (1 to 6.5) and Singapore (1 to 7.1).
