The residential segment is anticipated to represent 44.20% of total market revenue by 2025, positioning it as the leading end user segment. This dominance is supported by rising concerns over household security, increasing adoption of smart home technologies, and greater awareness of crime prevention measures.
Homeowners are increasingly investing in access control systems that include smart locks, mobile app based entry, and video door entry solutions. The integration of residential access control with broader smart home ecosystems has further accelerated adoption, providing both convenience and enhanced safety.
With rapid urbanization and growing middle class populations, particularly in emerging economies, the residential segment is expected to maintain its leadership within the building access control security market.
The demand for the elimination of issues associated with conventional access control systems, complemented by continuous innovations in technology, has led to the introduction of physical building access control security systems.
Building access control security systems are systems accessed without the requirement of a key. Technological innovations have led to the introduction of smart cards and proximity cards as well, besides magnetic stripe cards (under the card-based entry system market). In addition to offering an enhanced end-user experience, companies are strengthening the security of premises as well.
Building access control security systems, besides its primary application of granting access, can be used as an identity management, and time and attendance management system. It is, however, being witnessed that, multi-modal, i.e., physical access control systems with two or more modes of access (entry systems) are preferred over single-modal entry systems.
Out of all the types, biometric systems are the most preferred physical access control systems, owing to their applications across a majority of industry verticals.
