Every year SDM’s State of the Market article series offers an in-depth look at the four major sectors of the security industry: Alarm Systems, Video Surveillance, Access Control, and Fire Alarm — examining the major trends, the leading internal and external factors impacting sales and installations, technological changes, and the growth potential for each sector. Integrators, dealers, manufacturers, distributors and industry analysts weigh in on the growth potential of each market segment for the upcoming year. Their insights are combined with related, up-to-the-minute research and the results of SDM’s Industry Forecast Study to provide a comprehensive overview of the viability of each specific market segment.

The study’s results are presented annually in the February (Alarm Systems), March (Video Surveillance), April (Access Control), and May (Fire Alarm) edition of SDM and on the website.
