Increasing Terrorism Fueling Sales of Physical Security Systems in Asia-Pacific
With the sharp rise in terrorism and security concerns, the demand for physical security solutions is growing rapidly in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Moreover, the increasing security concerns are making various regional countries such as China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Singapore deploy physical security devices and equipment, especially video surveillance systems. There were over 300 terrorist attacks in APAC between 2012 and 2018, with Afghanistan and Pakistan reporting the highest number of terrorist attacks in the region during that period.
Besides the increasing threat of terrorist attacks, the rising prevalence of crimes is also propelling the demand for physical security systems in the APAC region. For example, in China, there were 39,230 robberies, 3,459,742 thefts, and 7,990 homicide cases reported in 2017. Similarly, Malaysia witnessed 379 homicide cases, 42,160 vehicle thefts, 16,200 house break-ins and thefts, and 14,128 robberies in 2017. On the other hand, in Australia, there were 679 homicides, 41,669 thefts, and 3,796 robberies reported in 2018.
