Global Market for Access Control is Anticipated to grow at a Significant Pace i.e., USD 16.3 Billion during the Forecast Period 2025 - 2030

Published Date: Mar, 2024

The global access control market is anticipated to grow at a market share of 8.75% (CAGR) during the projected period 2025-2030. An access control system is a form of keyless entry and card access system which can manage building security. The increased compliance with legislation and aligning it with the organization’s HR and Information Security Policy, rapid urbanization, increasing disposable income among consumers, rising demand for establishing connectivity across electronic equipment, and new sources of cyber threats will drive the market demand to enhance security in the residential and commercial sectors, thereby propelling the demand for access control market. It restricts the entry of unauthorized entities accessing the facilities. Furthermore, the surging deployment of wireless security systems, increased prominence of IoT-based security systems along with cloud computing platforms and access control, rising penetration of smart home solutions, the rising threat of terrorism and criminal activities, and mounting demand for connected access control systems at home to access remotely will proliferate the market demand for access control systems.

The access control market refers to the industry that provides solutions and technologies for controlling and managing access to physical spaces, such as buildings, facilities, and networks. Access control systems are used to restrict and monitor entry to specific areas, ensuring security, safety, and privacy.

These systems typically involve a combination of hardware and software components that work together to authenticate and authorize individuals' access. Here are some key elements and technologies commonly found in access control solutions:

Access Control Readers: These devices are used to identify individuals and capture their credentials, such as swipe cards, key fobs, or biometric information (e.g., fingerprints, facial recognition).

Access Control Panels: These panels are the central control units that process the information from the readers, make access decisions, and communicate with the locking mechanisms.

Locking Mechanisms: These include electronic locks, electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, or other devices that physically secure doors, gates, or other entry points.

Access Control Software: The software component manages the overall access control system, including user administration, access policies, and integration with other security systems.

Integration with Other Systems: Access control systems can be integrated with other security systems, such as video surveillance, alarm systems, or visitor management systems, to provide a comprehensive security solution.

Cloud-Based Access Control: Increasingly, access control systems are leveraging cloud computing to provide more scalability, flexibility, and remote management capabilities.

The access control market is driven by the need for improved security measures across various industries, including commercial, industrial, healthcare, education, and government sectors. Factors such as the rising threat of unauthorized access, regulatory compliance requirements, and the increasing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices contribute to the growth of this market.

The market offers a range of products and solutions from various vendors, including established players and emerging startups. These companies compete based on factors like product features, scalability, ease of use, integration capabilities, and customer support.

It's worth noting that market trends and specific offerings can evolve over time, so it's advisable to consult the latest industry reports and research to get up-to-date information on the access control market.

In April 2022, Security Enhancement Systems LLC (SES), a provider of mobile-based, keyless access management solutions deployed in critical infrastructure, including telecommunication towers for major providers, has been bought by Johnson Controls, a prominent leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings.

The COVID-19 outbreak has emphasized the demand for access control management so as to ensure better staff management in the office premises. There is a need to check each person’s temperature via biometrics and veins recognition technology so as to find people who might be infected with diseases and viruses.

By solution, biometric reader accounts for the fastest growth during the forecast period 2025-2030.

The biometric reader is expected to be the fastest-growing segment as it serves multiple purposes like law enforcement, public identity, employee identification, border control, and attendance. Also, biometric readers are non-repudiation, non-transferable, and non-identifiable which led to their adoption in several industries like travel, hospitality, healthcare, and financial services.
