Additional Information
The UK electronic security and access control market has performed relatively well over the last two years, particularly given the difficult economic climate. Market growth has been supported by the strength of the CCTV and access control sectors, while the maturity of the intruder alarm sector with high levels of penetration has limited the development of this sector.
Both domestic and commercial demand for electronic security products has been driven by concerns regarding both real and perceived criminal activity. In recent years, the impact of 9/11, the July 2005 bomb attacks in London and subsequent events, as well as preparations for the London Olympics in 2012, are all influencing demand for Electronic Security and Access Control products. The emphasis has also now shifted towards more diligent observation and prevention of crime - which places more demands on monitoring and access control, rather than simply raising the alarm and following up once the danger has, in effect, passed.
During the last two to three years in particular, replacement sales have accelerated, not only as a result of the maturing of a number of market sectors, but also driven by technological advances, and the development of more effective products and systems.
Wireless and IP (Internet Protocol) continue to gain share. High levels of product innovation are leading to smaller, less detectable and increasingly sophisticated products, as well as broadening the range of traditional applications. The use of digital networks to control and monitor security systems is also growing.
The overall electronic security market is valued at over £1.4 billion at end-user prices and, despite the construction slowdown, managed to achieve marginal growth in 2008. While short term prospects will be more difficult, growth within the UK electronic security products and systems market is expected to continue at a relatively modest pace in the short term, given the maturity of some product sectors and the impact of the current economic climate on some key markets.
Access control has experienced relatively strong growth and now accounts for over 25% of the market, with relatively favourable underlying growth prospects. CCTV, however, is the largest sector and continues to enjoy growth, with intruder alarms declining in share as end-users switch to more advanced security systems.
The medium to longer term outlook for the market is relatively optimistic. The recession has supported the demand for additional security measures in some sectors of the market, along with ongoing public sector expenditure, particularly within health, education and projects driven by the 2012 Olympics.
