Key factors such as rising crime rates, increasing incidences of terror attacks and growing focus on safety are compelling governments and private organizations to strengthen their security infrastructure. Increasing digitalization and growing penetration of internet of things enables integration of various physical security components such as access control systems, video management systems and others. This can boost demand for advanced physical security solutions in the near future.

Rising Concerns Over Security Threats

With the increasing complexity of security challenges, concerns regarding threats to both public and private infrastructure have escalated significantly. Issues such as terrorism, extremism, cybercrime, and mass shootings have surged globally, prompting many developed nations to remain vigilant and implement proactive measures to enhance their defenses against potential incidents. This heightened awareness has brought physical security to the forefront, making robust security systems essential rather than optional.

Both government and private sectors are now prioritizing the integration of analog and digital technologies to secure borders and protect internal assets and personnel. The adoption of advanced technologies in video surveillance, access control, perimeter intrusion detection, and screening is being aggressively pursued. Continuous security audits and upgrades to existing infrastructure are driving increased business for security solutions providers.

New Applications and Technologies Push Boundaries

Due to rising security needs, the physical security landscape is witnessing major shifts due to technological innovations. Emerging domains like smart cities, IoT, AI and analytics are opening up whole new vistas for security applications that were hitherto unexplored. Advanced video analytics, biometric authentication, drone & robotics, unmanned vehicle perimeter control, and others are empowering security deployments. Even conventional security systems are undergoing changes with integration of IT/OT convergence, interoperable solutions, cloud-based centralized management and predictive insights. These new solutions are finding applications beyond the traditional sectors of government, infrastructure and enterprises into diverse domains like transportation, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, educational institutes and other. The capabilities these bring to deliver contactless and remote security operations while optimizing resources are proving highly valuable especially amid the current pandemic situation. With innovation poised to drive the physical security market, there has been increase in investments to develop next generation security technologies.
