Market Trends of United States Data Center Physical Security Industry
The IT and Telecommunication Segment Holds a Major Share in the Market
- The economic impact of companies that entered the digital transformation early during the COVID-19 pandemic, either by offering digital products and services or leveraging digital processes, more economically than their peers that gradually embraced digital transformation.
- Among the US corporate infrastructure decision-makers, 94% have at least one cloud deployment, with hybrid or multi-cloud solutions more common. Nearly 74% of US infrastructure decision-makers say their organizations are adopting containers as a platform as a service (PaaS) in on-premises or public cloud environments. Clouds are expected to increase significantly.
- US cloud providers include AWS, Microsoft, and Google. Among enterprise infrastructure decision-makers who use at least one type of cloud deployment, 94% use at least one type of cloud deployment, with the majority being hybrid or multi-cloud.
- In the United States, cloud storage is growing due to the increasing demand for cost-effective data backup, storage and backup in every business and the need to manage the data generated by the increasing use of mobile phones.
- With the rise of the digital economy and increased internet usage in the United States, the need for data storage and processing has increased. The proliferation of hybrid cloud service providers has increased demand for colocation services and increased rack utilization.
- The number of IoT devices utilizing network connections from telecommunication providers is likely to generate huge amounts of data. For instance, connected consumer device unit shipments in the United States are projected to reach more than 800 million units by 2024. By 2025, IoT connections in the United States are projected to grow to more than 4 billion. In the United States, the average monthly mobile data speed is projected to reach 534 Mbps GB in 2029 through 5G service. Such instances in the market are expected to create more need for data centers, resulting in rising demand for data center physical security solutions in the coming years.
The Video Surveillance Segment Holds the Largest Market Share
- Data centers are home to sensitive and vital data, which makes security their highest priority. Data center operators help ensure that security standards and regulations are respected through video surveillance systems, which provide them with monitoring of access, detection of unauthorized entry, and maintaining compliance.
- Many operators of data centers are using remote video surveillance to keep an eye on their facilities throughout the day. This ensures that all security threats can be quickly addressed, even where staff are not at the site.
- Data protection regulations such as the California amended the CCPA with the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and Consumer Data Protection Act (Virginia CDPA) impose strict security and privacy requirements within the United States. These regulations must be complied with video surveillance equipment, and, therefore, they are of vital importance for data center operators. Such instances in the market propel the demand in the studied market.
- Furthermore, with the advent of 5G and the increasing use of smartphones, we need to ensure adequate speed availability. As a result, the country has adopted cloud computing, increased the number of Internet users, and adopted fiber optic technology. With the introduction of such technologies and the increase in data usage, the use of hybrid storage data centers is increasing in the country.
- In 2023, approximately 92% of the US population used the internet, up from approximately 75% in 2012. The United States is one of the world's largest online markets, with approximately 299 million internet users in the country in 2022. Such market improvements propel Data Centers' growth and contribute to segmental growth.
- Key players in the market focus on improving the data center's physical security solutions to meet the market demand. In June 2023, Bosch introduced a mobile access solution to buildings and restricted areas, which allows access without any identification media such as plastic cards. It is fully integrated into the tried-and-tested Access Management System from Bosch and provides various benefits, including efficiency, security, and convenience for building owners, visitors, and employees. This was initially available to customers in the Benelux region, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Canada, and the United States.
