The global physical security market size is projected to grow from USD 110.2 billion in 2023 to USD 136.9 billion by 2028 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.4% during the forecast period. The physical security market is propelled by key factors shaping its growth trajectory. These include growth in the use of IP-based cameras for video surveillance and an increase in cyber threats to physical security systems. Furthermore, high installation and maintenance costs for SMEs may hinder market growth.

“By vertical, the residential segment holds the largest market size.”
The residential segment faces the challenge of managing security without violating the privacy, comfort, and travel experiences of guests. The security of hotel guests requires a multi-pronged security program, which starts with a well-trained staff that includes security officers, CCTV systems, electronic access control, and appropriate lighting and landscaping to ensure identification and prevention of crime. A networked physical security system can provide complete surveillance for each endpoint, thereby lowering infrastructure costs. Residential properties are installing access control systems to prevent invasion and burglary. There is also an increasing demand for access control systems to minimize unauthorized access. Demand for electronic products is growing with the increased home automation trend.

“By organization size, the SMEs registered the higher CAGR during the forecast period.”
SMEs are majorly adopting physical security systems and services to maintain compliance with regulatory norms. The manual and traditional process of verifying customer identities is time-consuming. SMEs find physical security software a simple, intuitive, low-cost, hassle-free, and secure solution to meet their growing needs. Governments are also taking initiatives to promote the adoption of physical security solutions in SMEs in their respective countries. The increased focus of SMEs to meet various regulatory compliances and the surge in cyber frauds and data thefts is expected to drive the growth of physical security systems and services within SMEs.

“By region, North America holds the largest market size.”
North America is comprised of developed nations with cutting-edge technologies and well-established infrastructures. The US and Canada are the biggest contributors to the North American physical security industry since they have the region’s strongest economies. Regarding the adoption of security infrastructure and technological development, North America is the most sophisticated and flexible area. The area has led the way in implementing physical security measures. Government action has intensified in recent years as a result of rising worries about the security of sensitive data and essential communication infrastructure. The need for physical security solutions in North America has been driven by rising terrorist threats, the need to safeguard crucial infrastructure, public areas, and private assets, and other factors.
