Major manufacturers will continue to increase their share of the business at the expense of small & medium size companies. Size matters in Physical Security. Big businesses will be able to sustain lower rates of growth during what will surely be lean years between 2021 to 2023, but still invest in R&D and new technologies.

Demand for VSaaS and ACaaS will grow. These services are offering buyers lower operating costs and less upfront investment as they can pay monthly. They will have a significant impact on traditional routes to market over time, challenging current manufacturer/distributor/installer/end-user routes.

Hikvision has recently reported that in the first 2 quarters of 2021 their sales increased by almost 40% led by domestic growth of 46% percent.

The rest of Asia will also increase its share of the business, whilst North America will struggle to retain its share and Europe’s share will decline.
