Why 2010 will be Worse than 2009

by John Honovich, IP Video Market Info posted on Feb 24, 2009 About John Contact John


While admitting a slowdown, video surveillance professionals generally claim that (1) the market will rebound in the second half of this year and (2) that the problem is consumer fear. Discussions with dozens of industry leaders reveal the same pattern with the repeated conclusion that they are 'cautiously optimistic.'

This is wrong - things will get much worse in the video surveillance industry. Indeed, even the US fed is beginning to admit that maybe it will take longer than a year to recover from the implosion of the global banking system.
