Supply base outside China is very different to that of the Chinese domestic market
However, the supply base outside China is very different to that of the Chinese domestic market. The world excluding China is served, not only by the big 3, but also by a multitude of other international suppliers, each with a small market share of less than 3%.

Growth In the Americas was highest. Here, revenues from video surveillance software and managed services grew 8.8% in 2020. Many end-users took advantage of facilities being closed to upgrade their software.

These factors contributed to an acceleration in the proportion of revenues from recurring spending. The report forecasts high average annual growth of 12.1% in the world excluding market from 2020 to 2025.
33% combined share growth in 2020
