Starting April 1, India is barring Chinese CCTV giants Hikvision and Dahua from selling internet-connected cameras. The government refused certification for products using Chinese chipsets to ensure digital security. This mandate effectively forces Chinese brands out of a market they once dominated. Domestic manufacturers like CP Plus, Qubo, and Matrix have quickly filled the massive void. By rapidly pivoting to Taiwanese components and localized firmware, Indian companies now control over eighty percent of the market share. However, shifting away from cheap Chinese supply chains has increased manufacturing costs for premium security systems by twenty percent.
