Our 2020 state of physical access control report found that 51% of respondents believed their current system either met or exceeded their requirements. Just two years later, this figure has dropped to 41%.

So, what has changed?

In this 22-page report, researched, written and published by IFSEC Global, we explore the current state of the physical access control market, as well as future trends, opportunities and challenges ahead. Over 1000 respondents in physical security, facilities management and IT provide exclusive insight into the market, and demonstrate how convenience, security and collaboration are playing an increasingly important role in physical access control specification and upgrade decisions.

Readers will also get insight into the trends set to shape the industry over the next few years, as end-users, installers, integrators, consultants and C-suite professionals identify the technology they believe will play a key role in the next evolution of physical access control systems.

The report, sponsored and supported by HID Global, identifies the current credentials and technology in-use, the upgrade challenges and requirements for end-users, and the growing role of collaboration in physical access-control based decisions. We also dive into several key trends, including the role of access control in monitoring building occupancy, mobile access, contactless solutions, the demand for integration and smart buildings, and the role physical security can play in organisational sustainability agendas.
