China Sourcing Report: CCTV & Surveillance Products

30 May 2011 • by Natalie Aster

High-definition configurations continue to drive growth in China’s CCTV and surveillance products industry as rapid adoption of digital and networked security systems is experienced worldwide. Companies are now increasing investment in R&D concentrated on long-range surveillance and improved optical performance in the case of CCTV cameras, and enhanced software functionality for DVRs. High manufacturing outlay due to the yuan appreciation and rising raw material and labor costs is prompting tier 1 suppliers to adopt technological innovations, broadening profit margins in the long run. Others are resorting to the production of economy models that are priced much lower than their standard counterparts and carry fewer features. Export quotes are forecast to increase by at least 5 percent.

The report “China Sourcing Report: CCTV & Surveillance Products” by Global Sources focuses on the main CCTV and surveillance products exported from China – surveillance cameras, DVRs and CCTV systems, CCTV monitors and CCTV accessories. To reflect the industry structure, the majority of suppliers featured in the report are local, privately owned enterprises. The majority of companies are based in Guangdong province. The hub accounts for nearly 80 percent of mainland China’s export sales, and is currently the center of R&D in the line.
