Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 0.27 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.93% during 2025-2033. The market is witnessing rapid growth due to increased cargo transportation and rising need for enhanced safety and monitoring. Technological advancements in GPS tracking, RFID, and video surveillance systems and increasing demand for better security in warehouses and during transit is pushing innovations in this sector, significantly impacting India cargo security and surveillance market share.

India Cargo Security and Surveillance Market Trends:

Growing Adoption of Advanced Technologies

The India cargo security and surveillance market is experiencing a sharp increase in the use of sophisticated technologies like GPS tracking, RFID, and video surveillance systems. GPS tracking enables real-time location tracking of cargo ensuring goods are safely transported and minimizing the risk of theft or diversion. For instance, in December 2023, India announced its plans to launch a new app enabling live tracking of cargo across land, rail, sea, and air. Over 700 companies in logistics and manufacturing have already signed up. The initiative aims to enhance tracking, streamline operations, and lower logistics costs improving India's position in the Logistics Performance Index. RFID technology increases security by allowing for automated identification and tracking of cargo providing improved inventory control and faster access to shipment information. Video monitoring systems are becoming widespread in warehouses, transportation terminals, and along roads offering real-time observation and discouraging potential security compromise. These technologies benefit both security and operations efficiency by delivering up-to-date data and information for decision-making. While the demand for secure and efficient logistics surges integrating such cutting-edge technology is essential in order to reinforce cargo protection and maintain industry compliance.

Shift Toward Cloud-Based Solutions

The shift toward cloud-based solutions is becoming a key trend in the India cargo security and surveillance market. Increasingly, logistics companies are integrating cloud platforms for data storage, analysis, and remote monitoring. For instance, in April 2025, the Multi-Modal Cargo Hub (MMCH) at Jewar's Noida International Airport announced its plans to revolutionize India's logistics with operations starting later this year. Spanning 87 acres it includes a cloud-based cargo management system for efficient tracking. Designed to handle 2.5 lakh tonnes of cargo annually, it aims to boost agricultural logistics and support India's "China Plus One" strategy for global supply chains. These solutions enable real-time tracking and management of cargo across multiple locations improving the efficiency of security operations. Cloud technology allows businesses to store vast amounts of data securely and access it from any location ensuring that cargo movements are monitored continuously. Additionally, cloud-based systems support advanced data analytics providing valuable insights into cargo security, theft prevention, and operational optimization. The flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness of cloud solutions are driving their adoption across the industry. As companies seek to improve operational efficiency and enhance security protocols the growth of cloud-based platforms is contributing significantly to the India cargo security and surveillance market growth.
