Reviewing Innovation, Profit & Growth in IP Video Surveillance
Leaders in the Video Surveillance business are in full agreement that IP Video has had the most impact in shaping the future of the business in the last fifteen years and that it is has now crossed the chasm and with a market penetration of around 30/40% it is well into its growth stage. The […]
A Stable And Quiet Time For Security But Wireless Moves On
At the end of last year we forecast that the start of 2012 would offer little or no change in demand for physical security systems and that acquisition, alliance and sentiment about the future would be optimistic but sober. The first 2 months have borne this out; no announcements of billion dollar acquisitions, major investments […]
Will Economic Setbacks Reduce Business Opportunities in the Security Industry
This time last year economic indicators took a hit with major concerns about the need for countries within the Euro Zone to cut back on public expenditure; in order to repay their massive debts. Whilst this did have an effect on demand for security equipment it was marginal and the fragile recovery in the economy […]
Physical Security Industry 1st Quarter Disappoints as Consolidation and Funding Slow Down
Despite marginal growth and a lack luster financial performance by suppliers across the industry in 2010, consolidation increased by 75% on its 2009 figure that had already picked up from its precipitous fall in 2008.

Economic & Financial Climate Thaws Opening up a Buyer’s Market for Private Investment and Strategic Acquisition
The bumper start in January was always going to be a hard act to follow and M&A; activity in February by comparison shows a dramatic decline. We recorded 4 deals in February compared with 5 transactions in the same month of 2009. However in both the metrics of volume and value, acquisition activity is well […]
The Security Business is not Taking up the Opportunity to Achieve Growth and Consolidation Through Mergers
July and August are traditionally slow months for acquisition activity. We saw the completion of 8 deals, the same number as realised in 2008. However with the exception of Google’s purchase of ON2 Technologies, at just over $100m, none of the other 8 deals cost more than $20m, whilst in 2008 the value of deals […]
Leading Security Industry Suppliers Lack Confidence Not Money – But New Entrants See Opportunities To Forge Ahead
Deals announced in June have continued at the same pace as the previous 2 months and are well up on June 2008. This would normally be greeted with surprise because a year ago the security market was a little more optimistic about the future than it is today. However economic downturns have a tendency to […]
