Summary
The alarm and video surveillance market is a fast-growing sector that includes a range of products such as alarm sirens, video cameras, sensors and detectors. Aimed at different types of customer, including private individuals, professionals and public institutions, the market is driven by a growing concern for security and the adoption of advanced technologies such as IP cameras. Worldwide, the market size was around $88.7 billion in 2021, with growth forecast at $126.9 billion by 2026, reflecting an annual growth rate of 10% for video surveillance and 4.8% for alarms. The French market is showing robust growth, with particularly high potential in the home segment due to a lower equipment rate and the perceived effectiveness of systems. In 2020, the SNPES has noted a 2.2% drop in the sector's sales due to the pandemic, but demand is expected to rise, stimulated by technological innovations and heightened security awareness.
Despite a pandemic-related drop in burglaries of main residences in 2020, down 21%, the overall rate has stabilized since peaking between 2010 and 2013. The feeling of insecurity in France remains stable, which influences the adoption of security solutions. Regulations govern the use of these devices, including strict rules on the decibel level of outdoor alarms, the ban on filming public thoroughfares without authorization, and the length of time images can be kept. The market offers a wide range of products, to suit different budgets, and is characterized by a mix of manufacturing and service companies, spread across several segments.
Demand trends in the French alarm and video surveillance sector
Analysis of the French alarm and video surveillance market shows that demand is following an upward trajectory, fueled by a feeling of insecurity shared by the French population. Technological advances and a solid legislative environment are bolstering the market's growth prospects. Worldwide, the video surveillance market is booming, with a remarkable average annual growth rate of around 10% to 2023. At the same time, the global alarm market, although developing at a slower pace, is forecast to grow steadily over the coming years. In France, the security sector is currently enjoying strong growth, with sales of between 7 and 8 billion euros in recent years, testifying to the strength of the industry despite a slight dip due to the COVID-19 crisis.
An eclectic clientele characterizes the market, with large corporations, public institutions, small and medium-sized businesses, private-sector professionals, property managers and private individuals. The market's enthusiasm for high-tech solutions, such as IP cameras, reflects a thirst for sophisticated equipment, particularly in the professional sector, where the aim is to update existing systems. The demand spectrum in France presents an intriguing dichotomy: the residential segment has immense untapped potential due to current low penetration rates, while business customers are mainly looking to rejuvenate existing systems. This bifurcation gives rise to a two-speed market development - dynamic for individual consumers and more measured for businesses.
The complexity of demand is reinforced by the fact that society is faced with the impact of burglaries on its peace of mind. While burglaries have ostensibly plateaued at an annual figure of around 230,000, fear of such incidents is clearly influencing the market, with women reporting a higher sense of insecurity than men. This perceived vulnerability has a direct impact on the security equipment market, creating new avenues for growth, particularly in less well-equipped areas such as alarms connected to external monitoring centers. In addition, new residential development strategies are becoming a focus of interest. Although the volume of housing starts reflects a downward trend, falling by over 18%, new building standards requiring security systems are breathing life into demand for alarms and monitoring devices.
In short, the French alarm and video surveillance market is a web of opportunities influenced by technological drivers, changing customer needs and socio-economic factors. A booming residential segment, full of potential, and a professional segment focused on improvement and sophistication define the present.
