The scale of the IP security market is phenomenal, and growing at an exponential rate.
Over 65 percent of the UK’s surveillance cameras sold today are IP-enabled, and the market is set to grow from $10.5bn worldwide in 2011 to $20.5bn in 2016.
And access control is heading the same way, with European access control systems growing from an estimated market size of $2.65bn in 2011 to $3.69bn by 2017.
This new video infographic from Mayflex makes for interesting viewing, and comes with an uncharacteristically upbeat backing track for a corporate video. There’s also some pretty amazing stats about data creation and storage, a huge issue for the security market as the adoption of IP systems continues to expand.
Since 2005, according to Mayflex, more data has been created than in the previous 40,000 years (astonishing, but hardly surprising when you think about it. Presumably they mean computerised data).
There are some interesting stats in here that really underline the opportunity that storage vendors in particular have in the security industry. It also highlights the importance for end users to think in a converged way about their security systems. If you’re not having long conversations with your colleagues in the IT department already, perhaps you should be thinking about scheduling a meeting with them ahead of this year’s IFSEC International show?
