The health and viability of the electronic security industry is measured each year through SDM’s Industry Forecast Study, conducted annually since 1981. Through the Industry Forecast Study, which samples SDM’s subscriber base of installing security dealers and systems integrators, we get a depiction of the strength of the industry as measured by revenue increases and decreases, expected growth for the coming year, pricing trends for systems and services such as monitoring, and challenges that installing companies face.
