EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The UK access control market for 2000 will be worth £210m at end-user prices, showing 5 percent growth from 1999, according to Key Note’s latest estimates.

This market includes system design, equipment supply, installation and maintenance, and the ongoing sale of new cards and tokens where appropriate. The products included in this market are audio and video entry systems, keypad systems, card systems, proximity systems, long-range and hands-free systems, and biometric systems. Systems may also include more than one technology for added security.

In the last 5 years, the market has been helped by high output in the industrial and commercial new building sectors, and by the fairly healthy economy. Improved awareness of data security risks have encouraged organisations to pay more attention to controlling access by outside persons. There has also been increased attention to the need for security in schools and hospitals.

Ongoing trends are the development of user-friendly and powerful management software based on Windows 95/98 and Windows NT operating systems, the greater use of integrated security, fire protection and building management systems, decreasing prices for biometric solutions and growing use of radio frequency asset tagging linked to access control systems.

Prospects remain good, with plenty of scope for upgrading to more sophisticated technologies, and Key Note forecasts steady growth for the market between 2000 and 2005. The industry forecasts strong growth in the use of smart card systems in the near future. In the longer term, the UK is expected to follow the US in making more widespread use of biometric systems and growth is proceeding gradually in this sector. Key Note forecasts that the access control market will be worth £222m at end-user prices in 2001, and will reach £275m by the end of 2005.
