Authentication systems are considered as extensions of intruder alarms & perimeter security systems as they both monitor as well as prevent malicious activities. The main difference here is that authentication systems are used in combination with intruder alarms whereas an intruder alarm can be used as a standalone security measure. This helps authentication systems to actively prevent/block intrusions that are detected.

The report analyzes the EACS market; it covers authentication systems, intruder alarm, and perimeter security systems. Authentication systems are further segmented into Biometrics, Card-Based, TouchScreens & Keypads, and Door Contacts. EACS market is highly fragmented and comprises a large number of players across the value chain, thereby making it a highly competitive market. The market has rebound into a positive growth phase post recession and is set to continue growing on the back of heightened security needs, technological advancements, government mandates, and insurance regulations.

This report covers the market by technology, by applications, and by geography. In the technology segment, authentication system is the high growth market. This growth is attributed to stringent regulations for access control and identity management in high risk areas. In the application market, the U.S. is observed to have the largest market share with respect to EACS; while China is observed to have the highest growth rate. Under the EACS applications market that includes homeland security, commercial, industrial, and residential among others, the commercial segment commanded the largest share as of 2011. This segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2012 to 2017. The growth in the segment is mainly owing to increased need for enterprise level security and regulatory compliance.

High cost continues to be the major restraint with respect to the growth of EACS market. While increasing the number of compliance and regulatory mandates (which vary from region to region) is holding back the growth of the market, with end-users seeking more value, the manufacturers and integrators are moving towards integrated technology and customized offering.

The agenda for the briefing includes discussion on key high growth markets, thereby marking the growth trend in the global EACS market. Furthermore, a briefing will be conducted on the competitive scenario, geographic trends, and opportunities in the macro-and micro-markets with respect to Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and ROW.
