Comprising studies on:1 Access Control 2 Cctv 3 Intruder Alarm- Demand Forecast - Market Dynamics - Routes To Market - Supplier Performance - Strategic Options - Trading Practices - Standards & Technology - IntegrationThis study is part of a series of multi-client reports on the world’s markets for Intelligent Building Controls.
It is the most comprehensive report published on products and systems for the electronic security systems market.
Support from the major manufacturers and suppliers has enabled us to develop a robust business model that takes account of inputs from all distribution channels and trends numerous market segmentations, cost structure and sales growth since 1995.
The report benefits from comparisons with our similar studies on intelligent controls for environmental systems and fire detection.
Split into three, 700 page studies, it separately assess the markets for Access Control - IBC(a)2, CCTV - IBC(c)3 and Intruder Alarms - IBC(i)4.
Each study is split into two volumes; volume I comprising the executive summary which compares findings across all countries; and volume II providing the detailed analysis using the same format for each EU(7)5 country.
Data on the past, present and future market for IBC(s)1, is clearly presented quantitatively and qualitatively, so that strategies can be developed to fully exploit opportunities on a pan-European basis.Each study within its 700 pages and 280 charts and tables tells you for each country:
• The current market size, its growth from 1995 and forecast to 2006
• The market size by different hardware types
• The market size by different hardware subsegments
• The market size by type of project (new construction, refurbishment/replacement, extension)
• The market size and potential by building sector (public, commercial, industrial)
• The market size by contract value (4 segments).

• The market size by enduser sector (13 categories).

• The distribution channels and the volume of business that they handle
• Sales and market share bands for established suppliers
• Profiles of established suppliers
• The dynamics of the industry and growth prospects
• An analysis of trading practices and routes to market and the impact of contractual procedures
• A cross-border view of the forces that determine demand
• A highly detailed pan-European review of technology including sections on standards, regulations, harmonisation, communication standards and systems integration
• Assesses the IBC(s) suppliers’ influence on SMS and IBMS and measures the incidence of integrated projects across Europe for different building services and the incidence of integration in 11 different building typesThis investigation shows why this is such a desirable and rewarding business to be a part of:
• An enormous market of Euro 5.4 billion which could be double, if the latent potential based on the UK level of penetration, was realised in the other 6 countries.

• A market with higher rates of growth virtually assured for the next 10 years as perceived levels of crime and terrorism rise and this becomes a political“hot potato”
• A robust market with a high replacement content and a highly profitable service and maintenance business
•With the exception of Germany in IBC(i), standards are not a barrier to trade For those companies that develop the appropriate strategy through alliance, specialisation and consolidation to:
• Quickly and fully exploit the opportunities for high margin growth through digital technolgy in including video image transmission, web-based controls, biometrics, smart cards, integration etc.

• Take advantage of the weak supply structure of the market and develop channels of distribution to overcome this relatively low unit volume, nonspecified demand structure
• Provide their clients with the integrated systems that they need and demand This report allows pan-European comparisons to be made across all market segments and in particular, benchmarks the penetration of IBC(s) so that future performance can be determined.
