According to Marketsandmarkets the gunshot detection systems market is projected to grow from USD 4.9 Billion in 2022 to USD 7.8 Billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2022 to 202. To efficiently detect and track threats, according to the analysts, advanced technologies like artificial intelligence will merge optical and acoustic data, and in the upcoming years, these innovations are anticipated to accelerate market expansion.
North America takes the largest market share
The gunshot detection systems market industry has been studied by the Marketsandmarkets researchers in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa and Latin America. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, it is the North American market that accounted for the largest market share in 2022. Law enforcement agencies are also increasingly using the technology, particularly in this region.
