Request Sample

Border protection measures are used to detect and identify threats over a large area. Some of these include illegal immigration, human smuggling activities, and others. This system comprises high-performance radars and cameras that carry out an immediate warning and threat assessment to develop effective border security solutions. The demand for advanced security solutions is increasing globally due to the growing number of frequent conflicts, coupled with rising geopolitical instabilities and territorial activities, which are proliferating the market growth. An increasing inclination toward the modernization of existing border security infrastructures is further accelerating the border security market growth.


RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR IMPACT


Increasing Demand for Border Protection Systems to Drive the Market Growth


The Russia-Ukraine war is a complex geopolitical issue with significant regional and global security implications, directly challenging the security order and infrastructures established after World War II. Moreover, some factors that have influenced border security are the rising number of frequent conflicts and heightened concerns about border protection in Europe and the rest of the world. These factors have led to increased demand for border surveillance systems, advanced technologies, and equipment to enhance border protection. For instance, in August 2023, Poland and the Baltic countries announced that they would be closing the border with Belarus. This development is due to the presence of Wagner mercenaries in Belarus and the influx of illegal migrants from the Middle East & African countries in the border towns of Belarus.


Citing another instance, in May 2023, the European Council took a decision to sign an agreement with Montenegro with operational activities carried out by Frontex, the Europe-based Border and Coast Guard Agency. Subject to Montenegro's consent, the agreement will facilitate coordination between operations and deployment of Frontex Border Management Teams in Montenegro.


Moreover, some European countries or those concerned about potential spillover effects have allocated more resources to their defense budgets, which include investment in border protection. In addition, increasing demand to address new security challenges arising from the conflict has driven innovation in border security technologies such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), biometric identification tools, and advanced sensor systems. For instance, in June 2022, Thales Technology was selected to supply the new Schengen entry-exit system in Spain. Border management, identity verification, documentation, and biometrics are the areas where expertise is needed in this project. The contract includes over 1,500 manual border inspection units with the relevant hardware and software to ensure a smooth exit clearance.


Border Security Market Trends


Growing Adoption of High-Tech Technologies for Protecting the Border is a Major Trend


Border security is essential in a country's defense, which has important implications for governments globally. The complex challenges of preventing terrorism, unauthorized immigration, and drug trafficking have spurred the adoption of numerous technologies. Some of them include biometrics and AIs, which are revolutionizing border surveillance.


Furthermore, strengthening borders with new emerging technologies, such as physical barriers, biometric identification technologies, contraband cargo detection devices, and border surveillance technologies, to track people in remote areas is fueling the demand for advanced border security systems. For instance, in February 2023, to help countries enhance their capacity for security and infrastructure, the European Council called on the Commission to mobilize significant EU funds as soon as possible. These funds shall be earmarked exclusively to provide a comprehensive set of portable and fixed infrastructures such as cars, cameras, electronic surveillance watchtowers, and others.

The growing acceptance of unmanned aircraft and unmanned ground or underwater vehicles in the defense sector is expected to drive the demand for more effective and efficient long-range obstacle detection and collision avoidance systems.


Furthermore, the need for security is escalating due to the introduction of autonomous systems for tasks, such as site exploration, rescue and recovery efforts, location surveillance, and crowd monitoring by defense forces and regulatory authorities. For instance, in May 2022, the U.S. Army contracted Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, to supply Black Hornet 3 Personal Reconnaissance Systems (PRS). The total agreement was valued at around USD 14 million. These nano UAVs enhance squad and small unit-level Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.


Growing Adoption of Modern Border Protection Technologies to Accelerate Market Growth


Emerging countries are under greater pressure to keep the highest level of security due to the rising number of threats. To this end, governments have adopted advanced border protection technologies to ensure effective and reliable border protection. These strategies aim to identify and mitigate potentially harmful risks when they're present in a scenario that could pose a threat to national security. Furthermore, security tech comes in numerous forms, each with its particular advantages.


Furthermore, technological innovations, such as electronic gates, security scanners, surveillance cameras, perimeter intrusion detection systems, radar systems, land vehicles, airplanes and rotary aircraft, maritime and riverine vessels, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV, UAV, and UGV), are providing potential protection against diverse threats emanating from various platforms. For instance, in May 2023, the Turkish defense industry announced its new Low Altitude Radar System Project. This system, used to strengthen border security, will soon be deployed on the Turkish border.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Slow Rate of Implementation of Security Systems and Lack of Proactive Measures to Hamper the Market Growth


One major challenge security solutions company’s encounter is a slow implementation process for security systems and solutions. For instance, the implementation of cyber solutions is driven by intelligence gathering by continuously monitoring networks. The key reason for the lack of proactive procurement and implementation is the shortage of proactive measures, especially in cyber security and emergency response.


Rapid action plays an important part in protecting a country against the threat of impending danger. In the early phases of introducing a scanning and facial recognition system, privacy concerns are important for governments. In making such decisions and quickly adopting systems and solutions, public protests also affect governments.
