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.

This table contains data on the number of detainees who were detained in a penal institution around 30 September. The table includes both criminal detainees and persons in immigration detention. The number of detainees is subdivided by type of institution, country of birth of the detainee, residence permit and sentence length. Furthermore, the data are broken down according to the sex of the prisoner, the age of the prisoner and the type of offence. During the transition from the reporting years 2001 to 2002, a trend break is visible in the distribution by crime. The reason for this is that in the years up to and including 2001 the first offense mentioned was counted from the registration, while in the years from 2002 onwards the offense with the heaviest penalty was assumed. In 2003, the classification of the institution where the detainee is kept was changed. Compared to previous years, this has resulted in a shift in the figures from prison to detention centre. The increase in the number of detainees in 2004 is partly due to the introduction of multi-person cells in October 2003. As of 2004, the places purchased by the Prison System from the Directorate of Special Facilities (established in 2003) are also counted. As of 2011, three new types of institution are being used, namely Management Problematic Prison Unit (BPGA), Extra Care Facility (EZV) and Penitentiary Psychiatric Center (PPC). These device types can be assigned the destination 'House of Detention' as well as 'Prison', which is why these device types have been added to the category 'Other device types'. To prevent identification of individuals, the figures in this table have been rounded to the nearest five. Data available from 1994 to 2015. Status of the figures: The data are final. Changes as of March 15, 2018 None, this table has been discontinued. In the context of the cutbacks ensuing from the Rutte II cabinet, Statistics Netherlands had to make substantive choices in the statistics programme. As a result, as of 2018, there is no more funding for this metric. When will new numbers come out? Not applicable anymore.
