The increasing adoption of electronic security systems, including biometrics, is expected to drive the growth of the physical access control system market in the future. Electronic security systems encompass equipment that performs various security functions, such as surveillance, access control, alarms, or intrusion detection, utilizing both mains power and backup sources. These systems are essential for integrating the necessary level of protection within a facility. For instance, in September 2024, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a US-based law enforcement agency, reported processing over 540 million travelers using biometric facial recognition technology, successfully preventing more than 2,000 impostors from entering the United States. Consequently, the growing adoption of electronic security systems is anticipated to boost the physical access control system market.

The escalating adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to drive the growth of the physical access control system market in the foreseeable future. IoT refers to a networked system of interconnected computing devices, electronic and mechanical machinery with unique identities (UIDs), capable of data transfer without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. This technology enhances physical access control systems by facilitating connectivity among devices, sensors, and data analytics. The incorporation of IoT allows for real-time monitoring and enables dynamic adjustments to access permissions, thereby enhancing security and responsiveness in access control environments. As reported in September 2022 by Ericsson, a Sweden-based telecommunications company, global IoT connections reached 13.2 billion in 2022, with an anticipated 18% increase to 34.7 billion connections by 2028. Consequently, the growing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) emerges as a significant driver propelling the physical access control system market.

Technological advancements are emerging as a prominent trend in the physical access control system market, with major companies strategically concentrating on the development of innovative solutions to fortify their market presence. A case in point is Anviz, a US-based company specializing in access control and security automation. In July 2023, Anviz introduced next-generation OSDP-powered access control solutions explicitly tailored for access control systems. These solutions come equipped with advanced features and benefits, making them a preferred choice for numerous organizations. OSDP, or Open Supervised Device Protocol, plays a crucial role in enabling organizations to enhance the security and efficiency of their various facilities by effectively controlling and monitoring access to physical spaces. This initiative underscores the industry's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technologies for more robust and sophisticated access control systems.

Prominent companies in the physical access control system market are intensifying their focus on the integration of biometric identification services as a strategic move to secure a competitive advantage. Biometric identification services involve the utilization of distinct physiological or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial features, or iris patterns, for the verification and authentication of an individual's identity. A notable example occurred in December 2023 when Amazon Web Services Inc., a US-based cloud computing company, introduced Amazon One Enterprise. This fully managed service offers highly accurate and secure enterprise access control through a user-friendly biometric identification system. Engineered to enhance overall security, the service aids organizations in preventing costly security breaches and streamlining access management processes. Leveraging a combination of palm and vein imagery for biometric matching, Amazon One Enterprise boasts an impressive accuracy rate of 99.9999%, surpassing the precision of many alternative biometric methods, including the scanning of two irises. This initiative reflects the industry's commitment to leveraging advanced technologies for more robust and sophisticated access control systems.

In March 2022, UK-based software company Cards-x successfully completed the acquisition of Adon Development Inc., a Germany-based firm specializing in physical access management solutions. This strategic move, executed for an undisclosed sum, positions Cards-x to broaden its portfolio by incorporating access control solutions. These solutions seamlessly integrate with an advanced online, browser-based event registration system known for its full customization capabilities. With this acquisition, Cards-x aims to enhance its offerings and market presence in the dynamic landscape of access management and event registration technology.
