North America is estimated to contribute 34% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
North America is the largest revenue region in the market, led by the United States and Canada. Increasing research and investment in the development of border security are two important drivers for the growth of the regional market. Suppliers spend a lot of money on product research and development to constantly innovate and improve their products. The development and application of modern technologies such as sensor-based detectors, enhanced laser systems, and shared intelligence networks are propelling the growth of the market in North America during the forecast period.
The market is driven by increasing defense spending and the focus of the defense manufacturing sector on developing advanced solutions. Military R&D activities drive innovation in surveillance aircraft, patrol aircraft, ground attack helicopters, transport helicopters, amphibious aircraft, and marine vessels. With growing geopolitical instabilities and territorial conflicts, there is a rising demand for advanced border security solutions. These solutions incorporate biometric systems, cameras, radar, and laser technologies, as well as unmanned vehicles for perimeter intrusion detection. The market also addresses challenges such as arms trafficking, contraband smuggling, and illegal immigration, requiring high-performance radars and wideband wireless communication for effective border protection measures. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The increasing concern for data breaches is notably driving the market growth. The increasing instability of geopolitical and regional conflicts is expected to drive the demand for border security. These conflicts are also contributing to a rise in privacy violations. Additionally, there will be an increased procurement of patrol aircraft, surveillance aircraft, ground attack helicopters, amphibious aircraft, and submarines to secure borders. These measures are part of broader border protection efforts aimed at addressing issues such as illegal immigration and human smuggling activities. The incidence of data theft and breaches is also increasing due to conflicts between countries.
For instance, in April 2022, the Department of Defense was targeted by criminal hackers in a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) campaign. Similarly, in March 2022, 52 individuals were arrested in operations across 28 countries targeting illegal trade in cultural property, resulting in the recovery of 9, 08 cultural objects such as archaeological artifacts, furniture, coins, paintings, musical instruments, and statues. Therefore, the growing need to protect borders from illegal theft or smuggling is anticipated to drive the market's growth in the forecast period.
Growing demand for unmanned vehicles is the key trend in the market. Unmanned vehicles are becoming more popular in a variety of military applications. For more than a decade, national defense forces throughout the world have utilized drones. Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), and UAVs are all employed for a range of functions, including mapping and surveying, aerial photography and videography, asset inspection, search and rescue operations, exploration, and emergency response. Using such vehicles during battle has the advantage of avoiding embarrassment if the jet is shot down and the pilot is captured. Furthermore, the military sector is rapidly embracing unmanned ground, air, and submarine vehicles, which is expected to raise demand for effective and complex long-range obstacle detection and collision avoidance systems in the future. These factors are expected to foster the growth of the market during the forecast period.
High production and installation costs are the major challenges impeding the market growth. The security of ships and personnel involved in the management of ships and aircraft, cargo, and machinery, and the cost of enabling security officers and personnel to view video screens 24/7 during normal shifts create significant costs. This also implies a training and maintenance burden, which is particularly important when using equipment in extreme environments. Implementation and maintenance of border security technologies such as surveillance, detectors, surveys, and warning systems require large initial investments.
In addition, the high cost of border security systems is due to the cost of software licensing, implementation, maintenance, customization, and training. Most of the providers in the market offer local border control solutions, so the ports have to bear all the costs that arise, from infrastructure to maintenance and training. These factors are expected to hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
