The Security Industry

The Security Systems Industry is a $15 billion business whose major services include sales, installation, and monitoring of electronic security systems. The industry consists of commercial and residential segments, each of which uses different types of equipment and monitoring.

The Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) recently released key findings from a 2011 study reporting that gross revenue in the industry gerw 13 percent from 2009 to 2010, and that the average net profit margin rose to 4.1 percent in 2010 from 3.5 percent in 2009.

The security industry has become a stronghold in today’s economy. Unlike cyclical businesses that depend on a healthy economy to succeed, the security industry is an opportunity that is ripe all year long.

In 2010, according to trade reports, average sales revenues, salaries, and profits all increased over 2009 figures.
