Home Hi-Tech Security Industry Predictions Poll for 2008

CLOSED

Poll    
Supplier Survey   Technews together with BlueRiverStone are about to conduct the first major piece of research into the HiTech Security Industry both supplier and end-user sides. There is no real hard data on the Industry currently available and for companies this is like flying with wonky instrumentation – not a good idea.

But before we do this we would like to see what you think the results will look like.

So spend 5 mins sharing your predictions and for those respondents whose predictions come the closest to the results of our full research we have some prizes, you could even earn a full report (if you fill in the supplier survey as well)… but it will be mostly kudos to you for having the best sense of the market.

The Results of the Poll are available for download here (pdf file)

  1.3   Market Predictions  
         
    A 2004 report by Technews says that based on estimates of the security sector contribution to GDP, as well as media articles and clippings, the total market is estimated to be at R14bn (lower range R12bn). However the Security Industry Alliance, had given figures of between ZAR 20bn and 40bn. According to the Technews report the 14bn can be can be broken down as follows:
• R4.5bn – Security services;
• R4.0bn – Security solutions;
• R5.5bn – Installation, integration and value added services, etc.
Since 1998 after a massive increase in security spending in 1996 to 1997, the market growth has stabilised at around 20% per annum. But recent commitments to substantial infrastructure investments by government will see that growth rate increase substantially over the next 5 years.
