Integration of New Technologies
Home security has become a lot more high-tech in recent years. Artificial technology (AI) is very common in the security industry, being used for wider applications like personal protective equipment and automated alerts. Smart home technology has also made it simple (and incredibly affordable) to monitor your home from a smartphone app. Many smart home systems also make it easy to remotely control lights, thermostats, and just about everything else in your house.
Effects of the Pandemic on the Security Industry
In 2020, the COVID pandemic rapidly started changing various industries, including security, and they are still feeling the effects. For example, as the e-commerce industry began to grow rapidly from online purchases of retail goods and groceries, more people began to invest in home security systems to avoid problems like getting packages stolen. According to a 2021 Alarm Systems and Equipment Global Market report, the alarm system industry was valued at $22.92 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow to $25.43 billion by 2025.
Increased Demand for Security Jobs
The security guard industry is no different, of course. With the near-complete shutdown of the service industry, a similar contraction is happening in the demand for security guards at events and hotels. On the other side of this, you see an increased demand for security guards at grocery retail chains, medical facilities, essential businesses, and temporarily dormant buildings. In 2020, the security guard company Allied Universal hired more than 30,000 security guards nationwide within two months to keep up with demands.
