COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Governments around the world have imposed stringent lockdown restrictions including stay-at-home orders that prohibited individuals to go out in public. As there was no or lesser number of people going through any passage or entrance, the demand for people counting systems was reduced dramatically. The global people counting system market had witnessed an adverse impact due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, hence declined the demand & adoption of people counting systems across the world.

Due to this, a decline was observed in the development of the global people counting market throughout the first half of 2020. This trend remained the same till the first quarter of 2021. Moreover, the demand & deployment of people counting systems would boost again due to the rising production and the increased demand for occupancy monitoring, identification of customer behavior analytics, and visitor footfall count in store during the second or third quarter of 2021.

Market Growth Factors:

The market growth is set to boost due to the increasing combination of 4D technology with video-based people counters

Various end-user verticals like hospitality, retail, healthcare, and transportation have been significantly deploying 2D and 3D people counting systems. 2D people counting systems refer to the video-based monocular single-lens device that is appropriate for low-traffic and highly lit environments. In addition, these people counting systems display as high as 95% accuracy.

Facilitate the energy-saving

It becomes possible to save the energy-consumption by understanding the occupancy levels and traffic patterns of every space. Building owners may want to lower down the temperature in a place when capacity is full to enhance the comfort of the occupant. For this purpose, the people counting system plays a vital role in counting the number of people inside the premises. In addition, these systems can also utilize this data to maximize when spaces are not being occupied; assisting in decreasing energy costs and enhances sustainability.

Market Restraining Factor:

The global market is expected to hamper due to the thriving e-commerce sector

Factors such as the advent of several online shopping portals and the thriving e-commerce industry are expected to hinder the growth of the global people counting system market. As per the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the leading 13 worldwide B2C e-commerce companies’ sales were approximately USD 2.9 trillion in 2020. The B2C e-commerce sales involve the transaction between end-users and online retailers only.
