Border Security Global Market Report 2024

The border security market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $42.03 billion in 2023 to $46.65 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the rise in terrorism and transnational threats, challenges associated with migration and refugee crises, increased incidents of drug trafficking and smuggling, advancements in technology facilitating border security measures, and the effects of globalization on trade security.

The border security market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $59.97 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the integration of emerging technologies and AI, innovations in biometrics for improved identification, increasing concerns regarding climate change and environmental pressures, heightened awareness of cybersecurity threats and digital vulnerabilities, and the ongoing need for pandemic preparedness in the face of global health crises. Major trends expected during this period encompass the integration of advanced technologies into border security operations, the adoption of biometric authentication and identity verification systems, the utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones for surveillance and monitoring, implementation of cybersecurity measures to protect critical infrastructure, and the promotion of international collaboration and information sharing to enhance border security efforts.

The escalating instances of territorial conflicts are poised to drive the expansion of the border security market in the foreseeable future. Territorial conflicts, characterized by disputes or disagreements between countries or political entities regarding the control, ownership, or sovereignty of specific land or territory, often necessitate robust border security measures. These conflicts may stem from historical, political, ethnic, economic, or strategic factors. Border security measures play a crucial role in asserting control over disputed territories, safeguarding national borders, managing potential security threats, and enhancing surveillance and control capabilities. For example, as reported by ReliefWeb, a US-based digital service for humanitarian affairs coordination, terrorist attacks became more lethal in 2022, with an average of 1.7 deaths per attack compared to 1.3 deaths in 2021. Consequently, the escalating instances of territorial conflicts are driving the growth of the border security market.

Leading companies in the border security sector are adopting a strategic partnership approach to deliver comprehensive solutions and address the multifaceted challenges associated with border control. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For instance, in February 2023, BAE Systems, a UK-based aerospace company, forged a partnership with the Home Office, a UK-based government department. This collaboration aims to enhance the detection of national security threats at the UK border through a project named Cerberus, which utilizes advanced data analytics. The three-year contract, valued at $49.4 million (£38 million), will facilitate real-time risk assessments to identify high-threat movements of goods and people while expediting the clearance of low-threat goods and individuals. Consequently, this initiative will enhance efficiencies for Border Force, contributing to UK prosperity and facilitating smooth flow across borders.
