"By system, the physical identity and access management is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period."
Within the systems segment of the physical security market, Physical Identity and Access Management (PIAM) is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is fueled by the rising need for centralized, policy-based control of physical access across complex and distributed environments. Organizations are increasingly adopting PIAM solutions to streamline identity lifecycle management, automate onboarding and offboarding, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance security posture. The convergence of IT and physical security, along with the push for zero-trust frameworks, is further accelerating demand for PIAM systems across sectors such as critical infrastructure, healthcare, transportation, and smart buildings.
"By region, North America is expected to dominate the physical security market during the forecast period."
The physical security landscape in North America is evolving rapidly as the region continues to adopt advanced technologies and reinforce critical infrastructure protection. As the most technologically developed region, North America, driven by the US and Canada, leads the global market in physical security solutions. Rising threats to communication systems and sensitive data have spurred strong government involvement, backed by strict regulatory standards such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, and frameworks from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
North America faces some of the highest rates of cyberattacks globally, especially identity-related crimes, fueling demand for robust physical security systems. The region is also home to a high concentration of cybersecurity vendors, further supporting security advancements. Market momentum is reinforced by shifting work environments post-COVID-19, increasing BYOD and IoT usage, and a growing awareness of threats like phishing, BEC, and malware. Organizations are responding with specific budget allocations and mandatory physical security protocols. These trends position North America as the most lucrative region in the global physical security market, led by widespread vendor presence and aggressive technology adoption.
