About the Security Industry

The global security industry has been growing in recent years due to increased regulation, the impact of health and safety issues, growing terrorism and globalisation. The global security industry comprises a number of subsectors, including cctv, fire protection, manned guarding, access control, airport security and homeland security.

The global cctv market is expected to be valued at around $11 billion in 2015. Leading providers of CCTV equipment are migrating from analog video surveillance to IP based network video surveillance, as well as rolling out high definition cameras.

The global electronic access control market is forecast to reach $14 billion in 2017, driven by a growing need for wider security measures in public buildings, museums, transport hubs, workplaces and retail outlets. The government sector is the largest end-user segment in the access control market globally.
