Security Market Index: More Than 80% Report Positive Conditions

SILVER SPRING, Md. — The security industry is starting off the year strong, with more than four out of five participants in the January-February 2025 Security Industry Association (SIA) Security Market Index (SMI) survey reporting positive sentiments.

When asked to rate current business conditions for their companies, more than 27% of security leaders polled said “excellent” and nearly 54% said “good.

“We are excited, though not surprised, to see the continued upswing in industry sentiment. This bodes very well for a successful ISC West and a strong 2025,” says Scott Dunn, SIA board of directors chairman and senior director of business development, at Axis Communications.

Inside the January/February 2025 Security Market Index

The SMI measures security industry executives’ current status and future expectations through a select survey of SIA members. The Index’s goal is to provide a macro-view of confidence levels in the security industry every two months while closely examining six specific business measures:

  • Number of employees or hours worked
  • Marketing spending
  • Product production or service output
  • Capital equipment spending
  • R&D spending
  • Product or service sales

Special focuses of SIA’s January-February 2025 SMI include:

  • A strong growth forecast for the next three months
  • Insights on the impact of rising inflation and slowed job creation
  • Perspectives on how new tariffs on imports to the U.S. from Mexico and Canada will affect the security industry

The Regulatory Landscape for Clinical CCTV in 2026 As we move through 2026, medical and dental practices across the UK face unprecedented scrutiny regarding patient privacy and physical security.

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
