Alarming Rise in Crimes and Terrorist Activities to Boost Growth of Physical Security Market

Pune, India, April 2020, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a Half-Cooked Research Report on the Global Physical Security Market.

Physical Security Market Scope

Market Research Future (MRFR) expects the physical security market 2022 to touch a tremendous valuation of USD 196.3947466 billion by the year 2032. MRFR adds that the market can advance at a steady rate of 6.70% between 2024 and 2032 (which is the review period).

Top Boosters and Main Challenges

The importance of advanced physical security among organizations and detecting of any potential threats has surged quite significantly in recent years, which sets the tone of the market growth. End-use industries such as banks, retail, hospitality and transportation face a variety of security challenges and theft and destruction which are tough to handle using traditional security systems. This has led to higher deployment of physical security systems across organizations. However, budgetary constraints can slacken the adoption of physical security systems in the coming years.

Having said that, governments everywhere are highly focused on fortifying their physical security infrastructure in order to be more prepared for potential threats, leading to better business expansion. Over the years, the widening entry points within the data systems of the IoT-backed ecosystem have boosted the number of cyber-attacks. Therefore, intense efforts are being made to boost IoT security with the use of advanced physical security systems to bring down the chances of such attacks. Also, technological innovations and advancements in videos, access systems and integrated sensors in IoT-enabled devices can also mean healthy prospects for physical security industry during the review period.

Some additional growth boosters in the market include the shift from conventional solutions like alarm systems, door locks and badge readers to advanced solutions, such as intrusion prevention, threat management and breach detection among organizations as well as government agencies.
