Executive Summary Electronic monitoring (EM) programmes were first introduced in the US in the early 1980s. Today, EM is an established alternative to detention across Europe and North America and in some Latin American and Oceanian countries. EM can be used in various stages of the criminal justice system, including at pre-trial, at sentencing and following a period of incarceration. There are two dominant technologies used for electronic monitoring - Radio Frequency (RF) and GPS. RF technology was the first technology to be used, enabling agencies to remotely monitor if offenders sentenced to home curfew complied with the rules of the programme. RF-based systems are today the most common type of solution in most European countries. In the US, Australia and New Zealand in Oceania, and Brazil and other countries in Latin America, GPSbased solutions are more common.

A number of private companies are involved in the provisioning of EM, including developing, supplying and installing equipment, providing monitoring services as well as delivering other supporting services. In North America, Latin America and in some European jurisdictions, private sector companies are responsible for most parts of the EM programme. In the majority of the European countries as well as in Australia and New Zealand, private companies mainly supply equipment and software while public authorities are responsible for installation, field services, monitoring and enforcement. Leading providers of EM equipment and services include USbased BI Inc. (GEO Group), Allied Universal Electronic Monitoring, Sentinel Offender Services, SCRAM Systems, Securus Technologies, Shadowtrack, Corrisoft, Talitrix and Track Group; UKbased Buddi; Israel-based SuperCom; Poland-based Enigma (COMP Group); Switzerlandbased Geosatis; and Brazil-based Spacecom, Synergye and UE Brasil Tecnologia.

The average daily caseload of monitored individuals in Europe, North America, Latin America and Oceania amounted to about 92,000, 564,000, 162,000 and 11,000 respectively during 2025. The analyst estimates that the number of daily users will grow to 130,000 in Europe, 700,000 in North America, 278,000 in Latin America and 16,000 in Oceania by 2030. The market value in 2025 reached US$ 365 million in Europe, US$ 1.1 billion in North America, US$ 97 million in Latin America and US$ 31 million in Oceania. The total market value in the four regions combined is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% from US$ 1.6 billion in 2025 to US$ 2.2 billion in 2030.
