Reduce video surveillance by at least 10% before the 2026 World Cup
Mexico is gearing up for a significant surge in tourism, with the Secretariat of Tourism predicting an additional 5.5 million visitors next year. This trend is projected to continue due to the demand for security solutions in Mexico, particularly in light of the upcoming 2026 Football World Cup.
The growth in the video surveillance market in Mexico has been remarkable, with a two-digit annual rate, and this trend is expected to continue. Axis Communications, a leading provider of intelligent security solutions, estimates this growth is due to the needs for crowd control and security during the sporting event.
Axis Communications, with Enrique Amézquita serving as the Sales Manager for Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean region, suggests scalable solutions based on the Internet of Things (IoT) as an example of the necessary technology for local security bodies. The company's vision includes the installation of intelligent video and audio sensors in smart networks with analytics.
These sensors will not only help in estimating crowd counts in multitudes but also facilitate efficient and secure management of large crowds. Network audio systems for broadcasting pre-recorded or live announcements will be installed for issuing alerts or guiding people in emergencies or high foot traffic.
Moreover, management software for event and alarm management based on analytics will be installed to facilitate forensic investigation of incidents. This technology will be crucial in ensuring the safety and security of the increased number of visitors, which is expected to drive the demand for technology dedicated to city security and the protection of its inhabitants.
The demand for technology could exceed one billion dollars, and the modernization will extend to airports, transport centres, hotels, and public spaces in Mexico in 2026.
Interestingly, Alejandro Aguirre, sales manager for Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean at Axis, stated that the 2026 Football World Cup creates an immediate and urgent need to modernize security infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Intel's shares have risen 26% following Nvidia's announcement, suggesting a positive ripple effect in the tech industry.
In addition to the WhatsApp-based website for staying informed about news, opinion articles, entertainment, trends, and more, Mexico is set to embrace a new era of technology-driven security.
