Homeland Security: State of the Industry Assessment, 2002

 
The objective of this report is to analyze the market opportunity for homeland defense-related products and services. It is intended to help interested investors make timely investment decisions; assist current market participants in devising expansion plans, and advise potential participants in evaluating market opportunities.

The assessment is based on the perspective of a variety of industry executives, including manufacturers, distributors, end-users, and a wealth of third party and secondary research sources. This report includes fact and opinion-based information and is presented with charts, discussion, and analysis that describes and assesses the raw data.

  • The information in this study pertains to the US market for homeland defense-related products and services.
  • The analysis of the market is based on the end-user dollars spent by customers in the industry, or sometimes referred to as end-users.
  • Issues that are addressed in the present regarding the industry's size refer to the fiscal year 2002, unless otherwise stated.
  • This report assesses products and services, whose purpose could be broadly classified as contributing to the common defense of the US home soil, and whose end-users could be commercial or governmental, but not households or individuals. It excludes opportunities in aerospace defense and offensive military support.

Acclaro Growth Partners conducted the research for this study through the use of data from both primary and secondary sources. Acclaro Growth Partners gathered the data and conclusions presented within this document for current and potential market participants and investors through analysis of primary and secondary research.

The primary survey included interviews with knowledgeable professionals via telephone, email or fax. The telephone interviews were conducted by engaging the respondents in a conversation rather than through a traditional survey format. This approach allowed the respondents to offer candid opinion regarding the issues and provided more detailed and qualitative insights. In addition to conducting telephone conversation with leading industry participants, we requested market information, statistics, articles and relevant documents and opinion on strategic issues from these professionals.

The secondary research was used primarily to obtain an overview of the market, relevant statistics, the different industry segments and players to identify the target professionals for primary research. The secondary sources used in this report include:

  • Government data
  • Industry association data -
  • Information published by manufacturers, distributors, retailers, regulators, consultants, research firms, and other industry participants -
  • Published information and annual reports on company websites -
  • News and economic data published by independent news agencies and information portals -
  • Online databases

The challenges faced while gathering information for the report were as follows:

  • For the purposes of this study, we defined the market for homeland security-related products and services to include products and services which can be sold to commercial entities as well as the government. However, this definition varies across different industry associations and industry players. Hence the information collected from different industry participants was not necessarily as per our definition.
  • During our research on the market size for different product categories, some of the industry participants were not able to offer their perceptions of exact percentage shares. We developed our own hypotheses and solicited input on our assumptions. In most cases, contacts were able to comment on the relative validity of these assumptions. The final step in our process was to gain a level of consistent "comfort" with our revised estimate of size, growth, segmentation, etc. We have used views of industry experts during primary research and published figures on overall growth in the homeland defense segment to arrive at the market size of the homeland defense industry.
  • For security reasons, government officials and their contractors can be reluctant to divulge figures and offer comment on specific issues.
  • We have relied heavily on primary research to derive estimates of the future growth rates of different industry segments and the overall market size in terms of end user dollars spent.
  • The market and segment sizes estimated by this study are based on end-user expenditures. The figures will disagree with the manufacturers' revenue statements in segments that feature subcontractor or middlemen.
