The Global Market is Demanding Better Access Control Solutions
(And Where Geokey fits in to Provide)
With all the turmoil and uncertainty in the world today, people are looking for security more than ever. Whether you live in an apartment, run a small business, live in the city or halfway across the world, people are looking for more and better ways to keep their property safe and under control. This becomes very apparent if you look at the global market, and how market trends are revealing a growing interest in access control solutions.
According to Bloomberg, the forecast for electronic access control solutions predicted an increase, going from being worth 32,817.5 million in 2021 to 67,243.2 million by 2028, making a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of about 12.7%. It is important to note that while this is on a global scale, North America remains set as one of the top regions to be affecting the market value.
There are a lot of factors driving this data and what is spurring the demand for control access solutions. When it comes to the residential and business owner segment of the market, the biggest driving factors for investing in control access is an uptick in organized crime, vandalism, and burglaries, and looking at the data it is not hard to see why. According to the Council on Criminal Justice, taking the statistics from 29 cities in the United States, burglaries have risen 6% from 2021 to 2022, with larcenies rising by nearly 20% in that same time frame. It is no wonder that people want to make sure their property is secure and are searching for better ways to control who is utilizing their space.
In that same forecast article, a challenge in the rising market is also presented: people are not aware that cloud-based access control exists. People will stick with what they know, and for many that is the classic key and lock solution or, as of more recently, a card/fob reader. It was noted that a lot of the market focused on an increasing demand of these card/fob readers, with consumers asking specifically for “smart cards” that allow the company to track who enters a space and when.
What does this data have to do with Geokey?
