London, UK 6 August 2010. The new Homeland Security Market 2010-2020 report from Visiongain, analyses the global market for homeland security measures. Visiongain calculates that in 2010 the global market for homeland security will amount to $178.2bn. Homeland security remains central to the priorities of governments worldwide. A variety of internal and external threats, from terrorism, to cyber attack, to natural disasters, provide the impetus for the introduction of improved homeland security measures. The ever-present and continually evolving nature of these threats necessitates a constant re-evaluation of homeland security measures and drives technological advances in the industry.
This new Visiongain report identifies nine key submarkets of the homeland security market:
• Aviation security;
• Mass transit security;
• Maritime security;
• Infrastructure security;
• Telecommunications, data and cyber security;
• Border security;
• Counter-terror intelligence;
• CBRN security, and;
• Emergency response.
There are a host of programmes and agencies that have been established to deal with the issue of homeland security. The range of technologies and measures available to governments is increasingly diverse and complex in nature. From airport passenger scanning to explosives detection, from underwater sonar systems to biometric e-passports, from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to automated translation systems, the very nature of the homeland security market makes it driven by technological solutions. Moreover, considerable scope exists for the implementation of integration measures to network the disparate array of technologies and capabilities currently deployed.
The US by far accounts for the biggest share of the homeland security market. However, many Asian countries are also experiencing growth in their homeland security spending. As European governments grapple with their huge budget deficits and the need to cut public expenditure, homeland security spending in France, Germany, Italy and the UK is likely to experience considerable constraints. Nonetheless, it is likely that even as defence budgets shrink resources will be re-allocated to homeland security, given its centrality to the stability and resilience of states. Visiongain’s Homeland Security Market 2010-2020 report reveals in detail in which regions growth is expected for the sector and in which submarket sectors.
