World Security Services Market

http://www.reportlinker.com/p096396/World-Security-Services-Market.html

Worldwide demand to grow 7.5% per year through 2012

The global market for private contract security services is forecast to advance by 7.5 percent per annum through 2012 to $195 billion. Gains will be driven by a generally healthy global economy, rising urbanization, and heightened fears of domestic crime and terrorism in many countries. An upswing in building construction is also expected in several major economies, most notably the US, Japan and Germany, although most other areas will see construction growth slow after a strong 2002-2007 performance. Also limiting gains will be competition from electronic security measures such as CCTV and access controls, as well as by intense price competition in the guard and armored transport segments. The maturity of most developed country security markets will also constrain future increases in demand.

Contract guarding will remain the largest segment of the market, accounting for more than 40 percent of total revenues. Especially favorable prospects exist for services such as systems integration and consulting, which benefit from the transition from manned to electronic security modalities. By contrast, the private prison management industry has suffered a dramatic reversal of fortunes since the late 1990s, as rising opposition to the privatization of correctional facilities has taken it from the fastest to one of the slowest growing security service segments. Indeed, prison management contracts with private firms have been revoked in countries from Canada to New Zealand, with the state resuming control.

More Details

Developing regions to offer best growth prospects

The strongest gains will be registered in developing parts of Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and Latin America. Security markets in these areas are, for the most part, underdeveloped, and demand will be fueled by generally strong economic environments, new business formation and foreign investment activity, increased urbanization (contributing to social tensions and criminal activity), and growing middle and upper class populations. As a result, these developing regions will increasingly have both the need for and means to invest in security services. China, India, Russia and Brazil are forecast to record some of the most robust sales increases. The US will remain the largest single consumer of private contract security services, accounting for 30 percent of all demand. Advances will trail the global average by a wide margin as alarm monitoring and prison management markets continue to mature, although the rebound in building construction will provide some support.

Commercial & industrial markets to dominate

The commercial and industrial security service market is by far the largest. The dominance of this market reflects its size, potential for loss and availability of significant resources for protective purposes. Future advances will be spurred by rising business activity and associated security requirements as the world economy continues to grow. Although the government/ institutional and residential security markets are considerably smaller, they will register healthy increases through 2012. Government/institutional market gains will be fueled by the heightened level of security consciousness that exists in the post 9/11 era, with government agencies playing a lead role in providing for the security of the public at large. However, the strongest growth will be posted by the residential security market, stimulated by a high perceived risk of crime among residents in many areas.

Study coverage

World Security Services, a new Freedonia industry study, is priced at $5900. It presents historical demand data plus forecasts (2012, 2017) for private contractual security service by type and market, as well as for 20 countries and six regions. The study also assesses market share and profiles 38 global industry competitors.
