Global Security as a Service Market 2016-2020

Global outlook for the security as a service market

Technavio’s market research analysts have predicted that the global security as a service market will grow steadily during the predicted period and will post an impressive revenue of almost USD 1.5 billion by 2020. The rise in the number of criminal activities in commercial buildings such as retail stores, office buildings, and warehouses will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the security as a service market in the coming years. The increasing retail shrinkage will induce more retailers to adopt effective strategies such as the installation of advanced surveillance systems to enhance their security solutions. Additionally, the increase in ATM thefts will also lead to the rise in demand for security systems from the BFSI sector, which will also drive the market’s growth during the predicted period.

The increasing adoption of video surveillance systems demands the use of high-resolution cameras that are cost-consuming. This will lead to the adoption of edge-based video surveillance systems that eliminate the need for a central recording system since the video footage can be saved either on the network or flash devices. Moreover, the system does not require any server maintenance, discards storage complexities, and excludes the need for any complex hardware or software resulting in very less maintenance expenditures as well.
