Continuously increasing use of the Artificial Intelligence in the consumer electronics has further fortified organizations across different parts of the  globe to use the visual processing units, particularly for image processing purposes and hence it is expected to drive the growth of the image processing unit market

The image processing unit market worldwide is expected to grow with a CAGR of 18.5% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033, starting from US$ 1244.2 Mn in 2021. Movidius (Intel Company) the company based out of U.S., which has got products widely catering to different applications, is currently ranked number 1 in the Image Processing Unit Market. The company is a pioneering image processing company that brings the AI visual intelligence to system-on-chips that are being used in numerous applications, like AR, VR, drones, computational photography and surveillance devices. Nevertheless, processing of the image which includes lot of security issues using different compression technique is projected to restrict the growth of the market.

Security and surveillance to Continue Dominating the Market

Rising security concern across different parts of the world and mounting use of the advanced high power processor for real-time monitoring are some of the other factors which is driving the market demand for the advanced surveillance camera integrated with the IPUs. Further, based on application, security & surveillance segment continues to enjoy the major market share throughout the forecast period. Intelligent surveillance camera can only share the short video, even after noticing the serious threats which require direct human involvement. Implementation of the IPUs enables the cameras to identify the threats logically by avoiding the false positives, which actually ensure the smooth data sharing

Asia Pacific to Register the Fastest Growth
