Dublin, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Artificial Intelligence (AI) Gun Detection System Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The artificial intelligence (AI) gun detection system market is poised for significant growth, expanding from $1.34 billion in 2025 to $1.49 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 11.2%, with projections to reach $2.28 billion by 2030. This growth is propelled by the adoption of AI-driven video analytics, smart dome, and body cameras for enhanced security surveillance, and the integration of network video recorders. Real-time threat identification through gun detection sensors and edge device deployment for quicker processing and minimized latency further fuel this expansion.
Projected growth in the forthcoming years is supported by increased investment in high-accuracy AI-powered detection algorithms, real-time threat recognition, and automated alert systems. The adoption of integrated surveillance ecosystems for public safety and scalable, cloud-connected gun detection solutions are pivotal in this growth. Key trends include the expansion of real-time surveillance analytics, increased integration of AI firearm detection in public safety infrastructure, and the development of edge-based video processing systems.
Rising security concerns significantly contribute to the AI gun detection system market's expansion. As digitalization progresses, it enlarges the attack surface for cyber threats, increasing the demand for systems that offer rapid threat identification and response to mitigate potential mass shootings. Notably, reported cases of weapon-related crimes in Ireland saw a 10% increase by Q1 2024, underscoring the heightened need for effective AI gun detection solutions.
Key industry players are advancing gun detection technologies, focusing on software that utilizes computer vision for real-time firearm identification. Omnilert introduced the Omnilert Gun Detect system in 2024, enhancing processing efficiency to manage multiple camera streams simultaneously. Such innovations demonstrate a commitment to improving safety measures through advanced AI systems.
The market dynamics are also shaped by strategic acquisitions, such as SoundThinking Inc.'s acquisition of SafePointe LLC in 2023, which enhances its public safety solutions and accelerates growth. This period marks increasing mergers that bolster capabilities and market reach.
Leading companies in this sector include Smiths Detection Inc., Avigilon Corporation, Evolv Technology Inc., ZeroEyes Inc., among others. Geographically, North America led the market in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region moving forward, with significant contributions from countries like the USA, UK, Germany, China, and India.
It's crucial to note that global trade relations and tariffs impact production costs, notably in segments reliant on imported electronic components and semiconductors. These changes necessitate adaptive strategies for companies aiming to thrive in this evolving landscape, emphasizing local manufacturing and innovation in AI surveillance technologies.
The AI gun detection market research encompasses a comprehensive analysis, providing valuable insights into market size, regional shares, trends, and opportunities crucial for stakeholders navigating this dynamic industry.
