The global crawler camera system market size was valued at USD 163.4 million in 2020 and is expected to grow at USD 263.5 million by 2027 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3% from 2020 to 2027. Increasing demand for remotely operated inspection devices, which can crawl into pipes or tunnel to offer real-time footage, is likely to drive demand for crawler camera system. Crawler cameras help end-users to analyze the condition of drainage or pipelines and assist them to take preventive measures to avoid any kind of mishap due to blockage. Crawler camera system is an advanced and portable video inspection system that is widely used for inspecting and analyzing the current situation of pipeline, drainage or tank, void, and conduit/cavity.
Crawler camera is known to control inspection, view and record digital video, log observation, create reports, and can be directly linked to asset management software. It makes use of video cameras for data collection and software and computer for data analysis. Sewer lines can get clogged whether they are a part of municipal sewer system or residential household. Periodic inspection of such systems is needed to maintain its proper function and avoid any type of blockage.
The municipal segment accounted for the largest share of 39.4% in 2019 and is projected to maintain its lead during the forecast period. As municipal sewer and pipeline network age, the potential risk of blockages, deterioration, and collapses becomes a key concern. Therefore, municipalities across the globe are taking proactive measures, such as inspecting and cleaning sewer and pipeline network, in order to improve the performance of their systems. These factors are expected to drive demand for crawler camera system in coming years.
Pipeline inspection dominated the market for crawler camera system with a share of 46.4% and is expected to expand at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. Canvassing pipelines has been easier and more efficient due to crawler camera systems as they offer real-time footage and can record continuously over the course of several days. Crawler camera helps to analyze the blockage or drainage issue in pipelines, which assist users to take further preventive measures to avoid extensive damages. Many industries such as oil and gas and petrochemical are adopting crawler camera systems for inspecting and identifying leakages or blockage in pipelines. It assists them to take preventive measures and reduce the downtime. These factors are expected to boost the segment growth over the forecast period.
The crawler camera system market is segmented on the basis of application, end-user and region. By application the market is divided into Drain Inspection, Pipeline Inspection, Tank, Void, and Conduit/Cavity Inspection.
North America dominated the market for crawler camera system with a share of 32.8% in 2019. Continuous expansion of industrial and municipal areas, coupled with growing demand for modern video inspection devices, is likely to drive the demand for crawler camera system over the forecast period. In addition, government mandates on prohibition of the method through which workers enter into sewer or pipeline system for surveying and maintenance are likely to drive demand for crawler camera system in the coming years.
In North America, the U.S. is expected to remain a prominent shareholder over the forecast period. As per the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the U.S. natural gas pipeline network is a vastly integrated network, which has around 3 million miles of mainline and other pipelines that connect production spaces and storage facilities with consumers. Many oil and gas industries are focusing on periodic inspection of their pipelines in order to avoid any mishaps, such as gas leakage. These factors are likely to drive demand for crawler camera system over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is foreseen to be the fastest-growing regional market and is expected to account for above 1/4th share of the overall revenue over the forecast period. This region is home to several emerging economies, such as India and China, with expanding residential, industrial, and municipal areas. Growing demand from such end-users for modern technology to perform inspection of drains or pipeline is likely to fuel the growth of the regional market in coming years.
