The access control market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $13.69 billion in 2024 to $15.07 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increased use of mobile access control systems and government investments to prevent the increasing number of cyber-attacks.
The access control market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.43 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing smart homes, increasing adoption of access control by the hospitality sector, and rise in data security breaches. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on launching cloud-based access control systems for their market growth, introducing mobile-based access control solutions to sustain their position in the market, consider working with hotel partners to bring guest keys to digital wallets for easier access and to provide AI facial recognition, focus on launching biometric access control systems to improve their product offerings and focus on launching innovative products in the access control market to strengthen their product portfolio.
The access control market is poised for significant growth, driven in part by the rapid expansion of smart homes anticipated in the forecast period. Smart homes, characterized by internet-connected devices facilitating remote monitoring and management of appliances and systems, underscore the importance of access control in providing both home security and automation. The increasing prevalence of smart homes necessitates connected access control systems that can be accessed remotely. CITyFiED, a Spain-based project funded by the European Union’s Seventh Program, forecasts that the number of smart homes in Europe will reach 84 million by 2022, with market leaders Germany, the UK, and France propelling this growth. Notably, the smart home penetration rate in the UK is projected to achieve 63% by 2025. The escalating trend of smart home adoption emerges as a key driver for the access control market.
The access control market is projected to benefit from the increase in data security breaches during the forecast period. A data breach occurs when information is extracted from a system without the owner's knowledge or consent. Weak and counterfeit identification is one of the most common and easiest causes of data breaches. Access control is a vital aspect of data security, determining who is permitted to access and utilize company information and resources, thus, a rise in data security breaches is likely to drive the adoption of access control solutions. For instance, in January 2024, IT Governance Ltd., a UK-based business-to-business service company, reported that data breach incidents rose to 9,478 in 2024, up from 2,814 in 2023. Additionally, the number of breached records soared to 35,900,145,035, compared to 8,214,886,660 in 2023. Therefore, the increase in data security breaches is expected to stimulate growth in the access control market.
Major companies in the access control market are concentrating on technological advancements, such as smart access control solutions, to enhance security, streamline user management, and integrate seamlessly with other security systems. These smart access control solutions leverage advanced technologies to improve security and simplify access management. For example, in January 2024, Janam Technologies, a U.S.-based company specializing in rugged mobile computers and contactless access solutions, introduced the GTX mobile entry pedestal. The GTX mobile entry pedestal is a smart access control solution designed to offer a versatile and cost-effective way for venues to manage entry using advanced barcode scanning. Key features of this solution include a lightweight design, enhanced battery management, and support for mobile ticketing through various platforms.
Product innovation emerges as a key trend, with market players consistently introducing innovative solutions to enhance their product portfolios. An illustrative example is the January 2022 launch by Invixium, a Canada-based biometric access control manufacturer, of the multimodal TFACE access control system. This cutting-edge system features support for four authentication factors, encompassing face and fingerprint biometrics alongside physical and mobile credentials. The facial recognition capability is delivered through a pair of 8MP Sony cameras - one infrared and one traditional RGB. Fingerprint recognition is achieved using a 500dpi optical fingerprint sensor. Additionally, the system accommodates physical RFID cards, mobile credentials, and QR codes that can be stored on standard smartphones. This focus on product innovation underscores the dynamic evolution within the access control market.
