Market Trends of Secure Logistics Industry
During the Forecast Period, the Asia-Pacific Market is Expected to Grow at the Fastest Pace
- The increasing demand for ATMs, the expansion of financial institutions, and increased cargo thefts drive growth in this area. The demand for safe currency movement and management services is growing due to the increasing safety concerns of corporations and institutions. The expansion of the banking sector in developing markets is also expected to be influenced by a growing number of wealthy individuals and an increased demand for wealth management services.
- Wealthy individuals drive the growing demand for security logistics services in Asia-Pacific. Individuals acquire desirable assets such as luxury goods, art, expensive jewelry, and collectibles when accumulating considerable wealth. Specialized logistics services are needed to ensure the safe transport and storage of these valuable assets, given the growing number of high-net-worth individuals in Asia Pacific.
- In 2022, in mainland China, approximately 306,000 millionaires lived in Beijing, whereas around 307,000 millionaires lived in the Guangdong province. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, in the financial year 2020, over 278 thousand Indians were considered to be high-net-worth individuals (HNWI). At least USD 1 million of financial assets are held by HNWIs. In 2025, this number is expected to increase to more than 611 thousand.

The Cash Management Segment is expected to Hold the Largest Share of the Market in the Coming Years
- During the forecast period, cash management is expected to remain a dominant segment. The growing penetration of ATMs in emerging economies is a reason for this growth. Cash-in-transit, cash processing, and ATM services are included in the cash management segment.
- Cash-in-transit involves collecting money from banks and delivering it to designated cash points like ATMs, utilizing armored trucks that reduce risks and enhance security by reducing opportunities for theft. In addition to traditional cash-in-transit services governed by regional, national, and local law, service providers offer automated teller machines. The Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Interior, and the police are responsible for regulating this industry.
- Market players focus on developing innovation and efficient products and establishing alliances or joint ventures to increase their competitiveness. For example, Danzas, Deutsche Post World Net's logistics subsidiary, and the Lemuir Group set up a new joint venture company for India in January 2023. Under the agreement, this new company will offer easy access to a full range of one-stop supply chain solutions, including air and ocean freight, less than container load consolidation from India, and customs clearance for businesses throughout the country.
- In November 2023, GardaWorld Security Corporation, a global champion in security services, integrated risk management, and cash solutions, announced that the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority ("CATSA") signed a contract with the company for security screening services, including passengers, airport workers, aircrew, and baggage, in CATSA's largest administrative regions, Central and East, encompassing 45 airports or 50% of all CATSA airports.
