Access Control Market Size

The global access control market is projected to grow from USD 8.8 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 13.5 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2021 to 2026.

The access control system recognizes, validates, and approves an eligible person's admission and leave from the premises, assuring total security. Biometric or proximity/smart cards can be used in access control systems. It protects sensitive data from being compromised and helps in preventing unauthorized viruses and hackers from misusing such sensitive data crucial to the business. Rising consumer awareness of surveillance cameras and increased penetration of wireless security systems are driving the access control market forward.

During the forecast period, factors such as rapidly installed access control systems in military and commercial sectors are currently boosting market growth, and the emergence of advanced smart cards for a wide range of applications is further catalyzing product demand, due to their user-friendly and seamless experience. Aside from that, as a result of the rising crime rates in the world, various commercial establishments, such as IT businesses, corporations, data centers, and so on, are building access control systems to safeguard employees and information breaches, as well as to track personnel entry and exit times propelling the market growth.

The access control market is being driven by significant innovations in cloud services and identity management, as well as the rising penetration of smart home solutions, which is raising the demand for interconnected access control systems for residences that can be remotely activated. The surge in popularity of access control systems, which provide features such as data-keeping, transparency, and the security and safety of office environments, as well as consumers' preference for solutions that provide accessibility of access control, as well as high adoption of IoT, are all variables that impact the access control market.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the focus on touchless access control, especially in healthcare facilities to prevent the spread of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). Technological advancements such as facial recognition, Bluetooth access control, and other technologies are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

Due to growing market competition, the access control market has seen extraordinary growth over the last decade. As a result, demand for contactless biometrics and smart card solutions for environmental security has skyrocketed. The outbreak, on the other hand, has slowed the market's expansion. Once end-user industries recover from the effects of the pandemic, the market is likely to regain its development momentum.

On the contrary, high expenses involved with access control system implementation, upkeep, and ownership, as well as an increase in security and privacy issues connected to illegal access and data breach in the access control environment, are projected to stymie the market expansion. In the forecast period, the access control market is expected to face challenges due to a lack of user awareness about the availability and benefits of modern security solutions.
