Type Insights

Cyber security has accounted for over 20% of the overall revenue share, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5.5% from 2016 to 2024. The significant cyber protection risks occur from the widespread and increasing dependence on information and communication technology infrastructure and e-services, which has led the key focus on ensuring safety by combating cybercrime more efficiently and advancing national defense capabilities.

Aviation segment is expected to witness significant growth at a CAGR of nearly 5% owing to the advances in technologies such as biometric identification, handheld screening, and RFID technology.

CBRN segment is estimated to grow at a CAGR of nearly 4.5% over the forecast period. Technological innovations, such as nanotechnology, networked video cameras, and software design, to identify critical intelligence information have become powerful tools for counter-terrorism operations, increasing the effectiveness of anti-terrorism countermeasures. However, diffusion of advanced technological capabilities could facilitate terrorist access to CBRN materials, as well as guided missiles which could harm the homeland safety.

Regional Insights

The Asia-Pacific homeland security market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 6.0% from 2016 to 2024. Emerging economies such as China and India are expected to drive regional growth over the future. In India, safety concerns about domestic law and terrorist attacks have prompted the state and central government to focus on the modernization of the country’s security and defense infrastructure. This has led to the increase in budgetary allocation for homeland security expenditure and other initiatives such as National Security Agency, providing a Unique Identification (UID) number to all citizens of the country and establishment of the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS). North America dominated the industry with over 25% of the revenue share in 2015 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 3.5% from 2016 to 2024. The number of cyber-attacks has increased exponentially in the U.S. that has led to an increased focus on cyber safety across the region.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth owing to the advancements across developing countries such as China and India. India's homeland security spend is now larger than the overall defense budget of several countries. Recently, the sector has started to attract just as much consideration from India's national industry as the superior defense sector. Moreover, homeland security in India is an sector having lower entry barriers for Indian private companies and several high-value solutions are being crafted with the COTS (conventional off the shelf) technology. Presently, police transformation coupled with terrorism tackling is witnessing prominent growth in India with the increasing annual spend.

The budget cuts across several regions such as North America and Asia Pacific will critically hinder government operations, which are expected to drive down the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, Congress protected the FY 2013 budget for border security agents, however, other Department of Homeland Security (DHS) programs are affected by the budget cuts. This may lead to critical issues for commerce, airline passengers, border and cyber security. In a recent proposed NYC budget 2017, president calls for cutting the funding for the Urban Area Security Initiative that helps prevent or respond to terror attacks, to USD 300 million from USD 600 million which may challenge the industry growth over the future.
