Over the past twenty years, the North American retail audience measurement market has grown a lot. It has gone from simple tools that count people to advanced AI-driven analytics. Early systems used basic traffic counters, but improvements in video analytics, cloud platforms, and multi-sensor technologies made it possible to get more detailed information about people's behavior, such as how long they stayed, how they got there, and how many people converted. Companies like Sensormatic and Axis Communications were very important in this change because they combined sensors, IP cameras, and AI platforms that could grow. As retailers tried to keep up with changing rules, cloud-based analytics, sensor fusion, and privacy-first solutions became increasingly important. Audience measurements also grew beyond single stores to include malls and big retail spaces, helping with planning, parking, and omnichannel strategies.

Adoption of AI-powered traffic intelligence, analytics that respect privacy, and integration with omnichannel retail ecosystems are some of the most important market trends. To improve the quality of their data and make more money from it, major players use strategies that focus on innovation, open platforms, and partnerships. This is especially important as in-store data becomes more important for retail media networks. Sensormatic's platform-led model and Axis's edge analytics show that established companies still control the market. On the other hand, software-focused companies offer specialized features like sensor fusion and behavioral segmentation. Competition is shifting increasingly toward providing actionable, predictive insights instead of just collecting data. This supports the market's move toward prescriptive, customer-driven retail intelligence.

Instead of putting in new sensors, a big trend is adding AI analytics to old CCTV systems. This makes it possible to scale up at a lower cost.

Modern AI-powered systems can now tell the difference between staff and customers and keep track of repeat visits, which makes them more accurate and useful for businesses. There are a lot of different vendors in the market, such as RetailNext for big businesses, Videoloft and IntuVision for medium-sized stores, and CountPort for budget-conscious or new users.
