By 2022 the people counting market is expected to reach USD 1637 million, growing at a CAGR of 18.9%. That’s according to a study by MarketsandMarkets.
Video-based technology is expected to dominate the people counting system market during this period.
“This technology offers high accuracy during high-volume traffic, ability to detect the direction in which person or shopper is moving, remains unaffected in varying environments of light, heat, shadows, and it can easily distinguish people from objects and track continuously through a large area for an extended period of time.”
Video people counting offers the best way of ensuring accurate footfall and queue counting in locations such as retail stores, train stations or airports where there are dense crowds and slow-moving traffic. It can differentiate between people and objects to count with high accuracy.
This technology is ideal for anyone who requires the highest accuracy, reliability and count validation.
The retail stores, supermarkets and shopping malls are expected to lead the market during the forecast period as the retail industry is becoming more complex and is constantly evolving. In a shifting environment retailers will have to modify their existing strategies to achieve new goals. Retailers need to know the footfall at their shop at regular intervals to remain competitive in the complex retail world.
