Asia Pacific to deliver the highest CAGR

Asia Pacific countries have a particular focus on increased security spending due to the ever-growing threat landscape. India, Japan, and Singapore have updated or launched new national cyber security policies to deal with the increasingly sophisticated threats. The analysts expect organisations in the Asia Pacific region to spend large amounts of money to deal with cyber security breaches. The growing terrorist attacks and cyber attacks in the region have caused huge damage, leading India, China, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore to adopt best-in-class public safety and security systems.

For example, the Australian Government has appointed the National Counterterrorism Coordinator to assist the Australian Prime Minister in setting up policies. China has made its security policies stricter and is setting up surveillance and perimeter security systems and solutions in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

Smart cities

The Asia Pacific region is also witnessing a surge in smart city projects, creating a greater demand for public safety and security technologies such as surveillance systems, scanning and screening systems, and critical communication networks. The Indian Government is placing great focus on infrastructure development and enhancing the security systems at airports, ports, and refineries.
