Security Guard Management Software Global Market Report 2025

The security guard management software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.93 billion in 2024 to $2.21 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. The growth in the historic period can be linked to increasing demand for commercial security, rising crime rates in urban areas, growing adoption of digital guard tracking, the expansion of private security agencies, and the increasing need for real-time reporting.

The security guard management software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.79 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be driven by the growing shift toward cloud-based security guard software, rising adoption of AI-enabled guard management platforms, increasing integration of predictive threat analytics, and the expansion of remote surveillance operations. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in smart guard wearable integration, innovations in autonomous patrol robotics connectivity, developments in AI-driven anomaly detection engines, and ongoing research and development in real-time video intelligence.

The rising demand for real-time security operations is expected to drive the growth of the security guard management software market going forward. Real-time security operations involve continuous monitoring, rapid analysis, and immediate response to threats as they occur. The growing need for these operations is fueled by the increasing demand for instant threat visibility, as organizations require immediate detection and response to minimize breach impact and prevent delayed incident escalation. Security guard management software addresses this need by enabling live incident monitoring, instant guard activity tracking, automated alert escalation, and centralized communication, ensuring faster decision-making and immediate response execution. For example, in June 2024, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported 48 active shooter incidents in 2023, highlighting the ongoing prevalence of such events across the United States. These incidents emphasize the importance of adopting technologies such as security guard management software to enhance real-time situational awareness and response capabilities. Therefore, the growing need for real-time security operations is propelling the growth of the security guard management software market.

Major companies in the security guard management software market are focusing on technological innovations, such as integrated security operations command centers with AI-driven analytics and VMS/ACS integrations, to centralize alerts, automate response workflows, and provide real-time situational awareness. Integrated security operations command centers with AI-driven analytics and VMS/ACS integrations are software platforms that consolidate video management systems (VMS), access control systems (ACS), patrol data, and sensor feeds into a single dashboard, apply AI to prioritize and correlate alerts, and automate escalation and dispatch rules so operators and guards receive actionable intelligence instantly. For example, in May 2025, TrackTik Software Inc., a Canada-based security software company, launched the TrackTik Command Center, a centralized real-time interface that unifies alerts, patrol tracking, automated response protocols, and integrated vendor management features, including live alert streams from multiple systems, automated escalation workflows and incident playbooks, and integrated subcontractor/vendor orchestration for rapid, consistent response.

In June 2024, Honeywell International Inc., a US-based provider of automation, building technologies, aerospace products, and performance materials, acquired Carrier Global Corporation’s Global Access Solutions business for $4.95 billion. With this acquisition, Honeywell aims to strengthen its position in the digital security and building automation markets by expanding its portfolio of cloud-based access control and security management solutions. Global Access Solutions is a US-based provider of commercial and enterprise access control systems, electronic locking solutions, and cloud-based security management platforms.

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 rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
