Access Control

Since the Security groups inception in 2003, IMS Research has been providing annual data on the global market for electronic physical access control; working closely with each of the worlds largest manufacturers of access-control equipment. As a result, IMS Research is able to offer an unrivaled level of detail in its reported data, including analysis of more than 25 different equipment types, supported by detailed analysis of 12 end-user industries and over 30 geographic regions.

Alongside our access-control research, we also provide data on the global biometrics industry with coverage of fingerprint devices and sensors used both for logical and physical access.

In addition to reports focused on products and services, IMS Research also provides end-user analysis in the form of our Vertical Insight Series with report titles such as Security in Education and others. These studies provide greater clarity on key manufacturers and opportunities relating to specific market sectors.

As well as the off-the-shelf reports, we also offer custom research and strategy consultancy services, and have successfully completed projects for some of the worlds largest technology providers.
