The Security System Services industry has received a boost from European government security expenditure, an uptick in public and private sector demand, and high-profile events like the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, which pumped significant resources into modern alarm installations, AI surveillance and drone detection. Hiking crime rates across Europe, including spikes in theft and burglaries, have spurred both households and businesses to prioritise robust security, underpinning steady sales for providers. Overall, security systems revenue in Europe is projected to rise at a compound annual rate of 0.5% over the five years through 2025, including an estimated jump of 3% in 2025 to €22.7 billion. Innovative businesses like Verisure and Ajax Systems have improved their product offerings, bringing AI-enabled sensors, digital locks and highly responsive monitoring to a wider customer base. The industry’s focus on automation, integration and remote monitoring, supported by the proliferation of IoT devices, has redefined security provision and provided a platform for growth. The industry’s profit has remained steady amid recurring monitoring contracts, heightening sales from government and commercial clients and tech-driven efficiencies. Furthermore, strained police resources and EU policy initiatives to bolster public safety have allowed security system services to fill critical security gaps, particularly in retail and urban environments. Security system revenue in Europe is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 4.8% over the five years through 2030, reaching €28.8 billion. The European Commission forecasts modest yet reliable GDP growth and easing inflation across major markets like France, Italy and Spain, which should release pent-up consumer and commercial spending on security infrastructure. Sustained public investment in construction and critical infrastructure, backed by landmark EU projects and increased EIB lending, is set to drive installations of CCTV, access control and 24/7 monitoring in both new and refurbished sites. The integration of AI is expected to transform intrusion detection, alarm accuracy and monitoring services. As the industry leverages AI-powered solutions and subscription-based models, it’s likely to see both higher penetration and recurring revenue streams, even as competition and demand for end-to-end, compliant systems intensify.
