Independent research from Omdia and Novaira Insights shows Genetec gained further market share in 2025 as demand for video management software and VSaaS continued to grow.

Genetec increased its share of the global video management software market in 2025, maintaining its position as the world’s leading vendor, according to independent research from Omdia and Novaira Insights. The company said Omdia recorded 20% growth for Genetec, compared with 13.3% growth across the wider video software and VSaaS market.

“Growth in this market is not evenly distributed,” said Paul Bremner, Practice Leader for Physical Security at Omdia. “Buyers are consolidating around vendors that can deliver cloud, on-premises, and hybrid from a single open platform, and those vendors are taking share from ones that cannot.”
