More than 500 exhibitors from across the world will be at the Intersec 2019, the world’s largest trade and networking event for safety, security and fire protection, when it opens doors in Dubai, UAE, next month.

To be held from January 20 to 22, Intersec will see two-thirds of the world’s top 50 security providers, and global security brands continue to make a beeline for the mega safety and security event, to tap into and harness the enormous growth potential of the wider regional market.

One of the key focal points of the three-day mega event will be commercial security, which will form the largest section, said the organisers, Messe Frankfurt Middle East.

The annual three-day event is expected to draw in more than 1,300 exhibitors from 59 countries. It will encompass the seven sections of commercial security; fire and rescue; perimeter and physical security; safety and health; homeland security and policing; information security; and smart home and building automation.

Recent market figures released by Knowledge Partner 6W Research estimates that the Middle East market for commercial security will reach $7.4 billion by 2024, achieving a sustained CAGR of 16.6 per cent.

The research indicated that demand for IP-based video surveillance systems, access control and intrusion detectors would continue to drive the market, which is fuelled by increased government spending on infrastructure projects and the imposition of stringent regulatory policies, creating increased opportunities for global security brands, it stated.

According to the organisers, the upcoming mega-events in the region, such as the Expo 2020 in Dubai and the expected influx of millions of additional visitors are also expected to create demand for the latest in video surveillance systems and intelligent monitoring apparatus.

Access control systems continue to remain in high demand in the Middle East, registering a market revenue of $300 million in 2017.

Increasing awareness of security threats and a growth in IT spending will keep the market driving ahead. Meanwhile, the demand for biometric access controlled systems has surged across the Middle East with the growing adaption of fingerprint and eye scanners across the region, they stated.

The largest share of deployment of such systems in the region remains in the commercial sector, they added.
