The global market for security solutions is poised for strong growth. According to a recent study by MarketsandMarkets, the market volume is expected to rise from $370.15 billion in 2025 to $523.98 billion by 2030 – corresponding to an annual growth rate of 7.2 per cent.
Why the market is growing
The reasons for this upswing are obvious: increasing security concerns, rising crime rates and stricter legal requirements are prompting companies, public authorities and private individuals to invest more heavily in modern security systems.
In addition, technological advances – for example in artificial intelligence (AI), cloud solutions and the Internet of Things (IoT) – are driving development. Modern systems are now more efficient, more connected and more accessible than ever before.
Global trends such as smart city projects, the growing number of connected devices and increasing security awareness in emerging markets are also driving demand. As a result, more and more organisations are turning to integrated and remote-controlled security solutions.
Strong growth in the residential sector
The residential segment, i.e. private homes, is growing particularly strongly. More and more people want to better protect their homes – whether from burglary, vandalism or assault.
Simple and affordable products such as smart cameras, video doorbells and motion detectors make it easy to get started. At the same time, app-based surveillance systems enable real-time monitoring – conveniently via smartphone, no matter where you are.
Added to this are discounts from insurance companies and integration with smart home systems, which further increase convenience.
Video surveillance subscription trend
Video surveillance is a particularly dynamic sub-segment. Modern systems not only offer razor-sharp images, but also intelligent video analysis with AI support and cloud storage.
Subscription models and managed services are becoming increasingly popular, reducing running costs and providing greater flexibility. Both private individuals and companies benefit from remote access and real-time monitoring, which makes security more tangible and affordable.
Asia-Pacific as a growth driver
The Asia-Pacific region is considered the most important growth engine for the coming years. The reasons for this are rapid urbanisation, extensive infrastructure investments and government-sponsored smart city initiatives.
In countries such as China, India, Japan and the Southeast Asian states, security awareness is increasing along with purchasing power. With growing Internet and smartphone penetration, demand for mobile-controlled security systems is also growing rapidly.
Market participants and competition
Leading companies include Johnson Controls, Honeywell, Bosch, ADT Security Services, Hikvision, Assa Abloy, Secom, Dahua, Siemens and Axis Communications. They are all investing in AI-based, cloud-enabled and integrated security solutions to capitalise on growing demand.
Conclusion
The market for security solutions is clearly on a growth trajectory. Technological innovations, flexible service models and increasing security requirements are driving momentum in all areas – from private households to industry.
In Asia in particular, there are great opportunities for providers who focus on intelligent, networked and scalable systems.
