Axis Communications vuelve a situarse a la cabeza del mercado mundial de videovigilancia

El proveedor de soluciones de vídeo en red Axis Communications ha vuelto a situarse como referente del mercado mundial de cámaras IP y de seguridad, así como en el área de codificadores de vídeo, según el último informe de IHS.

Con un cierre fiscal del primer semestre del año en positivo, Axis Communications ha recibido tres reconocimientos en el mercado de cámaras de red, de seguridad y, por primera vez en el segmento de códificadores de vídeo, según el informe anual de IHS publicado el pasado mes de mayo, uno de los más importantes del sector de videovigilancia.

Para Ray Mauritsson, presidente y CEO de esta empresa, The IHS annual report on the surveillance market delivers excellent results for the company. Like last year, we again lead the global market rankings in the two camera categories: network cameras and security cameras, for the first time, and Axis holds top positions in the video encoder market.

Coinciding with this, the Swedish manufacturer has presented the financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2013 (ended last 30 June), which improve on those achieved in the previous quarter, with net sales that increased by a 7% to SEK 1.114 m. (unos 9,5 million euros) and a 12% in local currency.

Net sales in the first half of 2013 increased by a 9% to SEK 2,096 m. (around 17,9 million euros), and a 14% in local currency. Operating profit in this period amounts to SEK 216 m, and the after-tax profits stand at SEK 162 m.

The sales trend has been positive, both in the second quarter and in the first half of the year - notes Mauritsson -. In particular, the North American market during this period was key to continuing to show solid growth.

As pointed out by the CEO of Axis Communications, we continue our investment in human resources, especially in the R&D sector and in the sales organization. This investment in technological development has allowed us to launch a whole series of products and solutions to the market that have proven strategically key during this period.
