The access control systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.67 billion in 2025 to $11.44 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising concerns over physical security, increased adoption of electronic locks, regulatory compliance requirements, growth of commercial infrastructure, demand for centralized security management.
The access control systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of biometric technologies, growth of smart buildings, rising cybersecurity threats to physical assets, demand for contactless access solutions, expansion of cloud-based security platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include biometric-based access authentication expansion, cloud-enabled access control platforms, mobile credential and smartphone-based access, centralized identity and access management, convergence of physical and logical security.
The rising adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is expected to drive the growth of the access control system market in the coming years. IoT refers to networks of interconnected physical objects embedded with sensors, software, and communication technologies that collect and exchange data over the internet. The growing adoption of IoT devices is fueled by improved connectivity, declining device costs, and increasing demand for intelligent automation across industries. The access control system market leverages IoT-enabled devices to provide smart, secure solutions that allow real-time monitoring, remote management, and data-driven access control. For example, in May 2023, IoT Analytics reported that global IoT device connections reached 16.7 billion, a 16% increase compared to 2022, reflecting robust global growth in connected ecosystems. Therefore, increasing IoT adoption is propelling the expansion of the access control system market.
Key players in the access control system market are focusing on innovative solutions such as gateless access control systems to improve security and efficiency in high-traffic environments. Gateless access control systems use biometric technologies like walk-through facial recognition and person re-identification to allow seamless, high-speed authentication without traditional barriers. For instance, in May 2023, NEC Corporation, a Japan-based IT company, developed a gateless system capable of recognizing over 100 people per minute from a single camera view using real-time head detection and person re-identification. This solution enables smooth entry without requiring individuals to stop, maintains high recognition accuracy even with partially obscured faces, and scales to large crowds, enhancing operational efficiency in airports, transit hubs, workplaces, and events.
In August 2025, ASSA ABLOY AB (publ), a Sweden-based provider of secure access solutions, acquired SiteOwl, Inc., a U.S.-based cloud-native physical security lifecycle management platform provider, for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, ASSA ABLOY aims to enhance its digital lifecycle management capabilities and modernize access control management for system integrators, service providers, and end users.
