According to UnivDatos, Push from public safety & crime control imperatives, and Government & smart-city modernization initiatives are some of the factors that have supported the market rise. As per their “Africa AI CCTV Market” report, the Africa market was valued at USD 190 million in 2024, growing at a CAGR of about 22.75% during the forecast period from 2025 - 2033 to reach USD million by 2033.

The African AI CCTV market is in a dynamic change process with the development of artificial intelligence, edge computing, and behavioral analytics. Due to the increasing urbanization and the escalation of the security requirements, African countries are adopting the intelligent surveillance technology that offers real-time information and forecasting. With the integration of edge AI, it can be decentralized, which increases its efficiency, privacy, and responsiveness in regions with low connectivity. World technology partners and investors are contributing towards massive investments in smart infrastructure by governments and private enterprises. This shifting environment is indicative of the African dedication to the creation of safer, smarter, and data-driven city spaces guided by the new AI-driven surveillance systems.

Edge AI / on-device intelligence:

The AI CCTV space in Africa is changing, with edge computing changing the way surveillance data is processed and consumed. Rather than using a cloud server only, the new-generation cameras are equipped with in-built AI chips that have the capacity to perform analytics locally. Such a design will minimize bandwidth usage, enhance responsiveness, and enable systems to work effectively even in regions with flaky connectivity- common in most African cities. Privacy is also improved by edge AI, as sensitive footage is able to be processed on the device. Edge intelligence allows you to make quicker decisions and run efficiently, whether it is to detect intrusions or to recognize traffic anomalies. With the growing infrastructure, this decentralized model makes African cities address smarter and more resilient surveillance ecosystems, which balance performance, cost, and data protection requirements.

Latest Trends in the Africa AI CCTV Market

Behavioral analytics & anomaly detection capabilities:

The use of AI to develop the CCTV systems in Africa is changing to be able to identify objects; however, it can now analyze behavior. Contemporary platforms can now recognize human motions, the movement of crowds, and patterns of activities to detect possible threats before they develop. Rather than using human operators to keep track of hours of footage, AI models identify suspicious activities, i.e., long-term loitering, unexpected crowd rushes, or suspicious car behavior. This prediction method enables government agencies and non-governmental organizations to be on the offensive, enhancing the response time and allocation of resources. Behavioral analytics can be used in security-prone areas to conduct smarter policing and city administration, and also incur less manpower expenses. In addition, anomaly detection can be used in non-security applications like worker safety or efficiency of the traffic flow. Since such systems are still in their infancy, African cities could use real-time insights into behavior to create safer, more responsive, and data-driven spaces.

Key Investment Trends:

The African AI CCTV market can be well characterized by the significant investment momentum, as it is a sign of increased confidence in the idea of the digital and security revolution in the region. The upgrades in surveillance infrastructure are being financed by governments and the private sector with the backing of international financiers and technology companies. The ability to process AI and integrate with clouds is being reinforced by major inflows of capital, including the investments of the IFC in African data center infrastructure and the data hub project by Microsoft, in 2024, of over USD 1 billion, in Kenya. Besides, the venture capital funding in AI-based analytics and intelligent monitoring start-ups is increasing. These are strategic investments that are boosting the public safety systems, making real-time intelligence possible, and making Africa a new home of AI surveillance innovation.

Country Market Growth

The market of Egypt AI CCTV is rapidly growing due to the growing investment in the smart city programs, national security, and modernization of infrastructure.
