This Frost & Sullivan research service titled UK Civil Security Market - Revenue Opportunities and Stakeholder Mapping provides an overview of key security trends within the airports, energy, borders and mass transport domains in the United Kingdom (UK). The research also identifies the key market drivers, restraints and opportunities, and analyses their impact on the market. It provides key findings, strategic insights and a set of actionable recommendations for companies that wish to enter the UK civil security market.
MARKET OVERVIEW
Civil Security Market Transitioning from Individual Procurements to Integrated Solutions
The civil security market in the UK is moving towards the integration of systems with the aim of ensuring that all segments can be managed from a single platform, reducing operational costs and increasing technology efficiency.
The demand for integrated security solutions is primarily concentrated in airports, both for existing and new infrastructure. Increasing passenger throughput is underlining the urgent need for integrated solutions. Enhanced passenger processing will be the key to managing passenger flows more efficiently.
“Integration of all airports systems, including security, is seen by operators as the best way to achieve this goal,” notes Balaji Srimoolanathan, Programme Manager, Aerospace & Defence at Frost & Sullivan. “In the future, the market is likely to be characterised by integration as opposed to the procurement of new systems.” Security system integration projects that are designed to merge the existing disparate systems are expected to continue for at least the next three years. Success in this market is expected to lead to an increasing number of integration projects throughout the UK.
Integrated Security Solutions offer Improved Long-Term Profitability
Despite the promise of improved security, the high costs of implementing and maintaining a security system present a challenge for end users.
“Many security authorities have expressed a strong sense of disappointment with the level of funding required to implement cutting-edge security technologies and systems,” explains the analyst. “This has led them to redirect their security budgets towards more manpower-intensive solutions or towards solutions that offer slightly less capabilities but have been commoditised to the point that they offer a greater level of cost efficiency.”
Private enterprises operating in a competitive environment are primarily interested in improving the customer experience, while managing costs. Therefore, in addition to demonstrating the functional benefits of their security solutions, suppliers must provide evidence that these solutions can lead to reduced operator costs in the long term. Operators look for ways to maintain high standards of security at lower costs, especially during recessionary times.
“System integrators are in a strong position to market the cost-cutting benefits of their solution,” remarks the analyst. “Although start-up costs are high, an integrated security network allows operators to cut costs in the long term and improve profitability.”
