Market Overview

One kind of security reducing access and use of resources in a computer system is called access control. This can apply to both digital and physical resources, such as files, databases, and computer systems, as well as physical resources like buildings or rooms. Authentication and authorization are commonly used by access control systems to confirm users' identities and allow or refuse access based on their permissions. While authorization establishes what resources or actions a user is permitted to access depending on their role or permissions, authentication confirms a user's identity. One of the most important components of corporate security departments for safeguarding high-level information and assets, as well as the perimeter, is the access control system. The market is expanding as a result of the widespread use of cloud computing platforms and the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as the rising demand for improved security solutions. The introduction of cloud computing and wireless access facilities is expected to cause the security industry to undergo a rapid transformation, which will drive demand for the access control market. The main drivers driving the access control market demand for increased security include growing liability, new sources of risk, and mandatory compliance.

Driving Factors

One of the main causes of the rising demand for access control is the growing use of cloud computing platforms in conjunction with IoT-based security systems. Several advancements have been made possible by the power of cloud technologies and cloud-based infrastructure. Cloud-based systems provide benefits to businesses that might affect compliance, operational efficiency, and budget. Because cloud solutions provide on-demand scalability, enterprises simply grow or shrink their access control systems without having to make substantial upfront expenditures in hardware infrastructure. Additionally, cloud-based systems make it possible to remotely manage user credentials, access control settings, and system updates, which streamlines administration and improves operational effectiveness.

Restraining Factors

High installation and maintenance costs for access control systems are anticipated to be the main barrier restricting the market's growth. Specialized hardware and complex software for configuration and management are frequently needed when setting up an access control system. For access control systems to function at their best and be as secure as possible, frequent maintenance and updates are necessary.

Market Segmentation

The global access control market share is classified into components, type, and application.

• The hardware segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global access control market during the forecast period.   

Based on the component, the global access control market is divided into hardware, software, and services. Among these, the hardware segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global access control market during the forecast period. The hardware sales-driven business model is growing more and more popular in the hardware sector. Businesses that understand the importance of security are controlling worker and visitor access. Integrated hardware solutions that enhance security and safeguard people, property, and assets include wireless lock systems, smart cards, biometric applications, encrypted door controllers, and portable hand-held card readers.

• The discretionary access control (DAC) segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global access control market during the forecast period.   

Based on the type, the global access control market is divided into mandatory access control (MAC), discretionary access control (DAC), and role-based access control (RBAC). Among these, the discretionary access control (DAC) segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global access control market during the forecast period. The adoption of DAC systems is the primary driver of this market's growth. Because of the system's advantages which include reduced costs, faster authentication, enhanced efficiency, and data security, it is becoming more and more popular in the market. The industry is projected to develop as long as customizable DAC solutions are made affordable.

• The commercial segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global access control market during the forecast period.   

Based on the application, the global access control market is divided into homeland security, commercial, residential, and industrial. Among these, the commercial segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global access control market during the forecast period. Regulations including those from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for ballistic protection, and the General Services Administration (GSA) for explosive protection have been applied by several governmental and commercial organizations. The commercial sector's need for access control systems is probably going to increase more quickly with this type of standard.
