Security Control Room Market Report 2025

The security control room market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.22 billion in 2024 to $12.1 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. Growth during the historical period was driven by increased public safety investments by governments, heightened security requirements in banking and financial sectors, growth in transportation and logistics infrastructure, rising implementation in schools and universities, and the development of smart city infrastructure.

The security control room market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. Key factors fueling future growth include heightened risks from both cyber and physical threats, increasing incidents of terrorism and organized crime, rising concerns over insider threats and workplace violence, and the need for surveillance at large public events. Prominent trends expected in the forecast period include the use of AI and machine learning in surveillance systems, integration of IoT-enabled devices for instant monitoring, enhancements in video analytics technologies, adoption of cloud-based control room platforms, and a continued shift from analog to IP-based infrastructure.

The increase in criminal activities is expected to drive the growth of the security control room market in the coming years. Criminal activities refer to actions that breach laws set by a governing body and are subject to penalties such as fines or imprisonment. This rise in crime is often linked to growing unemployment, which compels some individuals to engage in illegal activities due to financial difficulties and a lack of opportunities. Security control rooms play a critical role in crime prevention by enabling real-time monitoring of surveillance systems. This capability allows authorities to swiftly identify and respond to suspicious actions before they escalate into criminal offenses. For example, in September 2024, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that 16,009 law enforcement agencies contributed to hate crime data collection, covering 95.2% of the U.S. population. These agencies recorded 11,862 bias-related criminal incidents and 13,829 related offenses, targeting attributes such as race, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender, and gender identity. Consequently, the growing rate of criminal activity is expected to fuel the expansion of the security control room market.

Leading companies in the security control room market are focusing on the development of advanced command and control software to enhance response times and improve operational efficiency. This software allows for centralized monitoring, coordination, and management of operations and resources in real time. For instance, in April 2024, AMAG Technology, a U.S.-based provider of security solutions, introduced Symmetry Control Room, a command and control software solution. This system eliminates the need for platform switching by allowing managers to view and manage events and alerts from multiple security systems on a single interface. It improves situational awareness through dynamic management tools that make it easy to oversee several systems simultaneously. Features like the intuitive lasso tool allow users to quickly select and display camera feeds on designated monitors or video walls for comprehensive surveillance. With robust alarm management, a customizable interface, and efficient workflow tools, Symmetry Control Room significantly enhances operational performance and responsiveness, thereby increasing return on investment.

In November 2024, Motorola Solutions Inc., a U.S.-based technology firm, acquired 3tc Software for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition reflects a shared goal between the two companies to develop solutions that optimize emergency service operations. Both organizations are committed to improving the efficiency of emergency workflows and are enthusiastic about expanding the value they offer to clients in emergency services. 3tc Software is a UK-based provider of control room software tailored for fire and rescue services as well as police departments.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp hike in U.S. tariffs and the associated trade disputes in spring 2025 are notably impacting the aerospace and defense sector by raising costs for titanium, carbon fiber composites, and avionics materials largely sourced from global suppliers. Defense contractors, locked into fixed-price government contracts, absorb these added costs, while commercial aerospace firms face airline pushback on higher aircraft prices. Delays in component shipments due to customs bottlenecks further disrupt tight production schedules for jets and satellites. The industry is responding by stockpiling critical materials, seeking waivers for defense-related imports, and collaborating with allied nations to diversify supply chain.

A security control room functions as a centralized hub where all security operations are observed, directed, and coordinated to safeguard individuals, assets, and infrastructure. It acts as the command center for managing multiple security tasks. The control room operates continuously, monitoring live video feeds and data from diverse sources to identify threats, respond to alerts, and maintain communication with on-site security personnel.

The core elements of a security control room consist of hardware, software, and services. Hardware in a security control room includes physical devices such as displays, servers, video walls, surveillance systems, communication tools, and access control units that facilitate the management and observation of security functions. This hardware can be implemented through cloud-based or on-premise setups and is used for surveillance, access control, emergency response, disaster management, and other applications. It serves a range of sectors including government and defense, energy and utilities, healthcare, retail, and banking and finance.
