Security Products to 2016

This study analyzes the US security products industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2001, 2006 and 2011, and forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by product (e.g., access controls, alarms, closed-circuit television, contraband detection, electronic article surveillance, automotive) and market (e.g., government and institutional, trade and distribution, industrial, air transport, financial institutions). The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles industry players.

US demand to rise 7.3% annually through 2016

The US market for security products is expected to increase 7.3 percent per year to $21 billion in 2016. Ongoing technological improvements that enhance the accuracy, ease of use, and speed of operation of electronic security systems will bolster spending, not only by fueling interest in upgrading existing security systems but also by improving market penetration. The falling prices of many high-end electronic security components have further boosted gains by increasing market penetration across a broadening customer base. In addition, the recovery in building construction and the housing market will bolster sales of mechanical security products, particularly locks.

Growth for security systems continues to be driven by a high perceived risk of crime (from conventional violent and property crimes to white collar crimes and terrorism), despite a long-term trend of falling crime rates. This perception is the result of widespread media coverage of high profile crime events. Additionally, many believe that public safety officials
are overburdened, so supplemental security arrangements may be deemed necessary.

Electronic access controls to be fastest growing type

Electronic access control systems and locks are expected to post the strongest gains of any security product, each rising nearly 11 percent annually through 2016. Advances for electronic access control systems will be driven by technological innovations that allow these systems to employ an increasingly sophisticated array of clearance options that are both more difficult to forge and easier to operate. Additionally, falling prices are making access control systems more accessible to building owners looking to upgrade from conventional mechanical locks. Demand will also benefit from the continued roll-out of new technology, such as smart cards and biometrics, and the increasing adoption of these highervalue technologies.

Demand for locks will be driven by the recovery in building construction, which is the primary application for locking devices, given that these basic security products are used on nearly all external doors. The expected recovery in the housing market will also support demand for door locks, as many homeowners replace locks after moving in to a newly purchased home. In addition, demand for vehicle locks is expected to recover from a low 2011 level as US vehicle production rebounds. The lock market will also be supported by growing demand for
electromechanical door locks. Already ubiquitous in hotels, these locks are increasingly replacing mechanical devices in office buildings where they provide added security by removing the threat of lost or stolen keys.

Office, lodging segment to be fastest growing market

Most markets for security products are expected to post solid gains through 2016, supported by the economic recovery and rebound in many types of building construction. Many homeowners and businesses will undertake investment projects put off during uncertain economic times. Technological advances will also provide opportunities for security
products. The fastest gains are expected in the office and lodging market, driven by particularly strong growth in construction activity from weak 2011 levels. In addition, demand will be supported by the adoption of more advanced access control systems and electronic door locks.

Siding to 2016

This study analyzes the US siding industry. It presents data by siding material (e.g., vinyl, wood, fiber cement, stucco, metal panels, brick, EIFS, concrete and stone), market (residential, nonresidential) and US region including historical demand data for the years 2001, 2006 and 2011, and forecasts for 2016 and 2021 . The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles industry players.
Demand to approach 100 million squares in 2016

US demand for siding is forecast to grow 8.4 percent per year through 2016 to 96.5 million squares, valued at $10.2 billion. Growth will be spurred by an increase in housing completions from their depressed 2011 base. Although housing completions will remain below the levels reached at their cyclical peak in 2006, the recovery will spark above-average gains in the residential siding market through 2016.

Residential market to post strong rebound

The forecast rebound in housing completions through 2016 will re-establish the new housing market as the largest end use for siding. Demand for siding in residential improvement and repair applications will rise at a moderate pace through 2016. Those homeowners that put off improvement projects -- such as the replacement of worn out or out-offashion siding -- will undertake them in the future, boosting demand.

Stucco, brick, fiber cement fastest growing materials

Among material types, stucco, brick, and fiber cement siding are forecast to see the most rapid demand gains through 2016, increasing at double-digit paces. The rebounding residential markets in the South and West regions of the US -- where these materials are most often installed -- are projected to experience the strongest growth in population and housing activity through 2016. Brick and fiber cement see wide use in the South, while stucco is most commonly used in the West region. Thus, as more homes are built and remodeled to meet the needs of the regions’ increasing population, demand for those siding materials will also advance.

Fiber cement siding will continue to take market share from other materials, such as vinyl and wood. Demand for fiber cement siding will be spurred by its ability to be produced into siding that resembles more costly materials, such as brick or stone. Fiber cement siding demand will also be supported by continuing consumer acceptance of the material because of its performance properties, such as resistance to degradation caused by insect attack and moisture.

Vinyl siding accounted for the largest share of siding demand in 2011. Vinyl siding will continue to lead the market in 2016, as such innovations as insulated vinyl siding and products that better resemble natural materials -- such as wood and stone -- will promote demand. However, competition from fiber cement and stucco siding will check growth. Fiber cement and stucco siding offer end users better long-term durability and require less maintenance.
