Wearable Camera Market Driver

• Consumers' increasing willingness to track their fitness and digitize their medical records has increased the demand for medical wearable camera devices. for instance, Wearable cameras embedded with other software and hardware, can determine nutrition facts and characterize different food types using image processing techniques. The device's features are expected to have a positive impact on the industry.
• Wearable cameras are becoming popular in a variety of sports, with referees, goalies, catchers, and umpires using them for live recording, as well as skydivers, skiers, surfers, and riders using them to record and share their experiences. The growing popularity of wearable cameras, as well as individuals' growing interest in sports and adventure activities, are expected to drive Wearable Camera Market demand.
• Law enforcement officers and the military are increasingly using wearable cameras for a variety of operations. Body cameras worn by police officers serve two purposes: first, they improve officer safety and communication when working in stressful environments, and second, if a situation escalates and people are injured or lives are lost, they help to provide a factual account of what occurred. Furthermore, wearing body cameras has proven to be invaluable to law enforcement in numerous studies commissioned by the United States Department of Justice. According to a Rialto study on body cameras, the California Police Department alone found a 90% decrease in citizen complaints against officers who wore body cameras. Therefore, with an increase in the use of wearable cameras for law enforcement activities, the market is set to grow significantly during the forecast period.

Wearable Camera Market Restraint

• In recent years, social issues associated with wearable cameras such as illegal surveillance, media recording without permission, and so on have become quite prevalent. As a result, other illegal activities such as piracy and cyberbullying have increased in popularity, as the footage may have been secretly recorded and used for illicit purposes. As a result, places such as music festivals and offices, among others, have prohibited the entry of anyone wearing a camera, potentially stifling Wearable Camera Market growth.
• High cost is another factor that hinder the growth of the Global Wearable Camera Market. Wearable cameras are more expensive than traditional cameras, which reduces their popularity. Furthermore, a lack of awareness among individuals in some regions is a factor limiting the Global Wearable Camera Market's growth.
