Key Drivers of Growth
- Rising Threats and the Need for Enhanced Security Governments worldwide are increasingly recognizing the need for advanced public safety measures. From combating terrorism and organized crime to preparing for natural disasters, public safety is a growing priority. The pandemic further redefined public safety strategies, with more emphasis on health-related security measures, highlighting the importance of versatile, robust safety systems.
- Technological Advancements Fueling Change The integration of cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, artificial intelligence (AI), and Big Data is transforming public safety strategies. These innovations enable faster response times, better threat detection, and efficient coordination among agencies. Smart city initiatives, driven by urbanization and infrastructure development, rely heavily on these advanced safety solutions to enhance urban services and improve quality of life.
Services Segment Driving Growth
The services segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Managed services, in particular, are gaining momentum as more agencies adopt cloud-based delivery models, like Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). These models reduce upfront costs and enable governments and businesses to implement sophisticated public safety technologies while maintaining flexibility.
The increasing demand for services such as system monitoring, maintenance, and management of public safety systems has positioned managed services as a key player in the market. These services ensure that mission-critical applications run smoothly, allowing organizations to focus on strategic priorities.
Professional Services Taking Center Stage
Professional services, including design and consulting, training, support and maintenance, and system integration, are expected to grow to the largest market size by 2029. Providers such as IBM, Huawei, and Honeywell Technologies offer essential services that meet the security needs of various organizations. By leveraging expert knowledge and industry best practices, these vendors are helping companies implement, manage, and optimize public safety and security solutions.
Regional Focus: Asia Pacific Leading the Growth
The Asia Pacific (APAC) region is expected to experience the highest CAGR in public safety and security spending during the forecast period. With rising terrorism, cyberattacks, and natural disasters, countries like India, China, and Japan are investing heavily in advanced security systems. National policies targeting cybersecurity threats have been adopted across many APAC nations, emphasizing the need for robust public safety infrastructure.
Rapid urbanization, crime rates, and extensive infrastructure projects across the region are fueling demand for surveillance, crowd management, and emergency response technologies. However, balancing enhanced security with privacy concerns, especially in smart city projects, remains a challenge.
