- Physical security refers to protecting assets, such as data, software, hardware, and individuals, from unanticipated events that could result in loss or damage to these assets. Across the Asia-Pacific, physical security has become just as crucial for modern businesses as cybersecurity, protecting them from various risks, such as vandalism, theft, burglary, and natural disasters, such as fires or floods. The growing demand for high-safety protocols drives the adoption of physical security systems.
- The physical security market has undergone a significant transformation in the past decade due to the rapid advancements of cloud computing and the availability of video surveillance software. Additionally, the increasing awareness of public safety and security issues has led to expanding IP-based camera and video management systems.
- Also, the increased investment in smart city initiatives and decreased IP camera prices have increased the demand for physical security systems to protect citizens. These factors are the primary drivers of growth in the region's physical security market.
- The widespread utilization of AI-based technologies in the defense sector encompasses a wide range of roles and applications, including monitoring, logistics, cyber security, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), sophisticated military equipment such as Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS), and autonomous combat vehicles (ACVs) and robots. These applications provide a strong foundation for modern warfare strategies.
- For instance, in August 2023, India implemented AI-based border surveillance solutions to strengthen border security by incorporating camera, radar, and sensor technology. The Indian Army installed approximately 140 AI-based border surveillance systems to acquire live feed from the Pakistani and Chinese borders. Utilizing these advanced technologies facilitates the detection of border intrusions, the identification of target classification, and the optimization of defense operations. The implementation of high-tech solutions reduces human involvement in monitoring and facilitates the detection of intrusions in more remote areas, such as the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
- Physical security systems, such as biometric authentication and real-time monitoring, are designed to prevent fraudulent activity and theft attempts against financial targets, thus providing a secure environment for clients and their assets. The proliferation of sophisticated cyberattacks and financial crimes has necessitated a heightened demand for physical security systems to safeguard banking operations' safety.
- In January 2023, the Indian government allowed banks to use facial recognition and, in a few cases, Iris scan to authenticate individual transactions that exceeded the annual limit of INR 2.0 million (USD 0.024 million). The new rules can be used to verify the identity of individuals who make deposits and withdrawals of more than INR 2.0 million (USD 0.024 million) in any financial year, provided they share their Aadhaar identity card as proof of identification.
- Despite technological advancements, physical security systems remain susceptible to physical data breaches and manipulation. The increasing data privacy concerns of consumers are restraining the growth of the physical security systems market. Not only are customers hesitant to adopt such solutions, but governments are also regulating the use and storage of data. As a result, enterprises need help creating datasets and expanding their offerings. For instance, according to AAG, between the Q2 and Q3 quarters of 2022, China experienced the highest number of data breaches, with 14,157,775 accounts breached.
- The physical security market is growing steadily. It was slightly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, post-COVID-19, the customers moved away from traditional video cameras and toward IP-based cameras. The countries in Asia-Pacific have started investing heavily in smart city initiatives, helping grow the physical security market. Also, after the pandemic ended, the situation caused an increase in the digitization of overall commercial operations in the region. This led to a rise in the need for physical security systems in the Asia-Pacific region.
Asia-Pacific Physical Security Market Trends and Insights
Video Surveillance Systems Are Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share
- Traditional video applications used to rely on AI to reduce the number of false alarms and enable forensic search of video based on object attributes. Currently, AI based on metadata has become the norm. There is a demand for video surveillance systems from airports to improve situational awareness, enhance security, and aid in operations.
- In April 2023, Infinova, a manufacturer of security systems and products, was selected as the Surveillance System OEM for more than 60 airports in India to enhance security measures and combat acts of terrorism. The airport teams chose Infinova to install over 6,000+ video surveillance cameras at major national airports, including PTZ (high-speed) domes, minidomes resistant to vandalism, and fixed day/night cameras. These cameras are installed in critical areas of the airport, including all significant personnel and baggage checkpoints, general locations, and all entry and exit points.
- The emergence of advanced technologies such as ML (machine learning) and AI has caused several companies to adopt AI in video surveillance systems. By incorporating these technologies into their products, companies can provide enhanced security and safety. Furthermore, surveillance systems integrated with technologies such as AI and ML are essential for law enforcement, emergency services, critical infrastructure, and various sectors.
- The prevalence of AI in video surveillance systems is increasing. In July 2023, Japan began the development of Public Security Cameras that use AI to anticipate the behavior of a crowd. The cameras and the AI are intended to detect "unusual" movements within the public and to improve their detection capabilities through algorithmic learning over time. Such detection can include weapons detection, intrusion detection into buildings, and detection of individuals in vulnerable areas.
- Video surveillance systems are crucial components of security solutions. Surveillance cameras provide potential criminals with a disincentive to commit criminal offenses, which is often enough to deter them from doing so. For instance, the police in Japan recognized about 44.23 thousand grand theft offenses in 2023, almost 17.5 thousand of which were burglaries in non-residential properties. The rise in burglary rates also contributed to the expansion of video surveillance systems. The video surveillance systems provide remote monitoring and real-time notifications, allowing quick and effective responses to burglaries, thus deterring criminals and decreasing the overall rate of burglaries.
