Security System Services in Europe industry analysis

Private security systems remain integral to national security strategies. Developments such as terror attacks and civil unrest motivate governments to enhance surveillance and update ageing security systems. In 2020, the EU formulated a new Security Union Strategy to bolster early detection capabilities and facilitate stakeholder cooperation. This initiative allocates around €1.5 billion in annual funding to EU counter-terrorism agencies and an additional €1.9 billion to national counter-terrorism bodies. The EU's government spending on public safety and order increased by 20.7% between 2016 and 2021, reaching €252.8 billion. Overall, security systems revenue in Europe is projected to shrink at a compound annual rate of 4.5% over the five years through 2024, including an estimated decline of 1.1% in 2024 to €13.8 billion.
