Top Manufacturers Gaining and Losing 2017

Author: John Honovich, Published on Nov 03, 2017

3 years ago, IPVM statistics accurately and early identified the rise of Hikvision usage across Western markets (see Top Manufacturers Gaining and Losing Ground 2014). Again, in 2015, IPVM statistics showed the continued strong expansion of Hikvision (see Top Manufacturers Gaining and Losing 2015).

But, in 2016, IPVM statistics showed Hikvision's expansion starting to decelerate (Top Manufacturers Gaining and Losing 2016).

Now, in 2017, has Hikvision re-energized their dealer growth or are they hitting a wall?

Inside this report, we examine Hikvision's moves plus notable performances from the following:

  • Arecont
  • Avigilon
  • Axis
  • Dahua
  • Exacq
  • Genetec
  • Hanwha
  • Milestone
  • Pelco
