BEIJING -- China's smart home camera market is expected to expand this year as shipments will continue to grow, an industry report said.

Smart home camera shipments are forecast to grow 7.5 percent year-on-year to 21.55 million units in 2023, according to a report released by global market research firm International Data Corporation.

IDC attributed this year's uptick to the growing demand for intelligent home security monitoring, such as for the care of the elderly and children, as people returned to their busy schedules.

In 2022, smart home camera shipments exceeded 20 million units, up 1.6 percent year-on-year, the report said.

The World Internet Conference (WIC) was established as an international organization on July 12, 2022, headquartered in Beijing, China. It was jointly initiated by Global System for Mobile Communication Association (GSMA), National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team/Coordination Center of China (CNCERT), China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), Alibaba Group, Tencent, and Zhijiang Lab.
