Industry Findings: Diverse infrastructure maturity across the region makes scalability and modularity the dominant procurement considerations, with large buyers preferring solutions that can scale from pilot cities to national programs. The market values vendors who offer flexible deployment modes—on-prem, hybrid cloud, or fully edge—and proven resilience to variable connectivity, delivering measurable operational improvements in public safety, agriculture, and retail without extensive local customisation.
Industry Progression: An unprecedented wave of data-centre and infrastructure investments is changing where inference runs and how vision projects scale regionally, with multiple governments and hyperscalers accelerating on-shore capacity and incentives; recent 2025 announcements of major data-centre projects and tax incentives across Brazil and neighbouring states are enabling low-latency commercial AI services, shifting buyer preference to vendors offering local hosting, renewable-sourced compute, and turnkey deployment playbooks for municipal and industrial vision use cases.
Industry Players: Key companies operating in this regional market include Hikvision LATAM, Bosch Latin America, NEC Latin America, Intelbras, Axon LatAm, Sensedia, and Agrosmart Vision etc. The region is embracing AI-enabled video analytics in logistics, retail, and urban monitoring as sovereign cloud capacity expands. Intelbras introduced new AI-powered NVR and camera lines in 2024, targeting retail theft analytics and perimeter monitoring. This push accelerates homegrown adoption and gives advantage to vendors offering locally supported hardware with adaptable AI pipelines fit for regional compliance.
