Growing need for public safety

The increasing need for public safety is one of the key factors driving the global PSIM solutions market. There has been an increase in crimes and terrorist attacks. This has led to local and federal governments becoming concerned with the safety of facilities such as airports, seaports, railway stations, and bus stations. For instance, in August 2015, a heavily armed man attacked a train in France going from Amsterdam to Paris. This has resulted in the protection of life and capital goods gaining utmost importance.


According to Amrita Choudhury, a lead analyst at Technavio for IT security research, "There has been an increase in the incidences of terror attacks worldwide. Therefore, preventive methods are being adopted, especially in mass transit locations such as bus and railway stations, airports, and marine ports. PSIM solutions are helpful in monitoring and scanning people and luggage. Nevertheless, in case of any uncertain events, law enforcement agents are expected to be proactive to look for a suspect, act quickly to rescue victims in case of an attack, and take precautionary measures for the safety of the people."

Rise in smart city projects leads to more PSIM deployment

There has been an increase in security threats in urban areas. The national and local governments across the globe are responsible for different security services such as cybersecurity and emergency services to counter criminal activities. Security and safety are crucial for any smart city, and PSIM solutions can address these issues. For example, PSIM can integrate video footage from traffic control cameras and public space video surveillance cameras, creating a unified situation picture in the control room.

Rising investments in the development of smart cities will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. Governments across the Middle East announced the construction of smart cities to boost the growth in their economies. For instance, the expansion of new cities in Saudi Arabia has increased the emphasis on the development of transportation infrastructure, ensuring better connectivity among the major cities in the country.

Development of global PSIM standards

Before 2012, there were no global standards for PSIM solutions. But, organizations such as Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) and the Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA (News - Alert)) have worked together to develop global standards for PSIM solutions. ONVIF emphasized the standardization of communication and interoperability between IP-based products. This has been done to define a common protocol for information exchange between network video devices.

"The Physical Security Interoperability Alliance is striving to achieve plug-and-play interoperability for IP-enabled security devices. The PSIA also demonstrated plug-and-play integration between PSIM systems and various access control systems, cameras, intrusion detection devices and sensors, and video storage and retrieval systems at the American Society for Information Science 2013 held in Philadelphia, US," says Amrita.
