North America has dominated the global maritime security market for years and continues to hold the largest share. The region has the most robust defense budgets and has been actively investing in enhancing the security of its coastal borders and ports especially post 9/11. Most of the large maritime security solution providers and system integrators are headquartered here, thus, driving continued technology innovation and upgrades. With over 16,000 miles of coastline across its mainland and islands, the U.S. especially has deployed advanced integrated systems involving sensors, command and control centers, response vessels and aircrafts to seamlessly monitor activities.

Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing market for maritime security. With several major economies located in coastal regions and a third of global shipping trade passing through troubled waters, there has been need for bolstering defense. Countries like China and India are proactively implementing wide-ranging surveillance networks and building specialized security fleets. Their smart investments have brought in big international companies to build factories nearby to meet the demand. Governments in Southeast Asia are also spending more, especially because of disputes and piracy threats, which is helping both product makers and companies that offer complete solutions to grow in the area.

The region also has a burgeoning maritime industry comprising fishing, offshore oil & gas exploration and local shipping. With its phenomenal economic expansion centered around trade and cargo transportation mainly through sea routes, safety and protection of coastal assets is a high spending priority. This has translated to rising procurement of security technologies and services across ports, coastal boundaries as well as exclusive economic zones. Overall, the combination of escalating geopolitical tensions and rapid infrastructure build-up along Asia Pacific coastal regions is what spurs continual development of the maritime security landscape here.
