Middle East security systems market could grow by over 10% in 2010
Dubai, U.A.E
“According to recent research, the global market for perimeter security sensory systems will be worth AED 1.6 billion (US$ 440 million) by 2014. This is being driven by new regulations being imposed by governments in the US, Europe and Asia regarding enhanced security measures at sensitive sites like airports, nuclear plants, power plants and other high-risk locations,” Pauwels stated.
Video surveillance and detection systems have become increasingly popular as a means of threat detection in cities worldwide. Video cameras are increasingly popping up at most places with a large throughput of people. Recent market estimates expect that demand for video surveillance systems in Middle Eastern countries would grow by 10% in 2010, with even stronger growth forecast through to 2014.
The Homeland Security and Policing division of Intersec trade fair and conference 2011, will feature the latest developments in threat management and prevention systems, monitoring and surveillance systems from leading manufacturers and security experts worldwide looking to tap into the burgeoning Middle East market.
