Overview of the global residential security systems market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global residential security systems market will grow steadily over the next four years and will post a CAGR of more than 7% by 2020. This market research analysis identifies the rise in the number of threats to residential buildings as one of the primary growth factors for the home security systems market. As a result of the increasing incidences of thefts and unauthorized access to individual homes and residential buildings, end-users have started equipping residential buildings with special platforms that will help them access electronic devices at home through mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets computers, and laptops from remote locations. Home security solutions such as security cameras and smart locks are robust and reliable and are effective in preventing unwanted access to residences.

The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) in residential security systems will be one of the major trends that will gain traction in this market in the next four years.
