Dashboard camera market to nearly double by 2030

The dashboard camera market is projected to climb from $5.41 billion in 2025 to $6.44 billion in 2026, with growth expected to continue through 2030 as safety, insurance and fleet-monitoring demand rises. North America led the market in 2025, while connected-car features, ADAS integration and higher-resolution cameras are shaping the next wave of adoption. Why it matters: - Dashboard cameras are moving from niche accessories to widely used safety and evidence tools for drivers, insurers and fleet operators. - The market’s projected jump signals stronger demand for accident documentation, driver monitoring and connected vehicle features. - Growth in dashcams also reflects broader pressure on road safety as collisions and insurance disputes rise. What happened: - The Business Research Company released its Dashboard Camera Market Report 2026, covering market size, trends and global forecast data for 2026-2035. - The report pegs the dashboard camera market at $5.41 billion in 2025 and $6.44 billion in 2026. - The report forecasts the market will reach $12.84 billion by 2030. - North America held the largest regional share in 2025, with Europe second.
