This helps improve the overall decision-making process, intelligent network planning, customer experience, and fewer hindrances.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Terrorist Threats and Biohazard Warfare to Aid Market Growth

The increasing instability across the globe owing to increasing terrorist attacks and criminal activities has led the military sector to be increasingly concerned about emergencies. These actions make it imperative to provide emergency management procedures for critical situations such as accidents involving hazardous materials, chemical explosions, or civil unrest. The critical situations also include intentional attacks such as explosive detonations, toxic industrial chemicals, biological disturbances, local disasters, pandemic outbreaks, and radiological and nuclear incidents. Further, bio-hazardous attacks or bioterrorism is an act of releasing bacteria, viruses, toxins, and human-modified harmful agents that impact people and infrastructure.

Terrorists across the globe are increasingly carrying out these transnational organized crimes to generate funding and acquire logistical support to carry out cross-border terrorist activities and other violent acts to harm citizens. Several governments and security organizations look forward to implementing safety measures and various prevention and incident management systems and solutions. These solutions are expected to help detect and assess biological, radiological, chemical, nuclear, or explosive materials, minimizing the chances of disasters.

Growing Demand for Situational and Security Awareness and Emergency Services Modernization Programs and Operations to Propel Market Growth

Situational awareness gives rise to the ability of commanders to process, identify, and analyze critical systems of information related to an emergency scenario during critical situations. This will catalyze the demand for systems such as radars, surveillance cameras, drones and so on. In January 2023, according to the U.S., the Next Generation First Responder (NGFR) Apex Program worked with first responders nationwide to ensure their technology while responding to an emergency keeps them better protected, connected, and fully aware.

In October 2019, Assistant for Understanding Data through Reasoning, Extraction, and Synthesis (AUDREY) was developed in collaboration with the U.S. and Canadian organizations to enhance future communication and decision-making for first responders. A demonstration and update on the initiative's progress in using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and situational awareness technologies to assist paramedics were provided to Hastings County Council members and dignitaries from the local region.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Slow Implementation of Security and Lack of Proactive Measures May Hamper Market Growth

A major challenge security solutions companies encountered is slow implementation process for homeland security systems and solutions. Privacy concerns are important for governments in the early phases of introducing a scanning and facial recognition system. Public protests also affect governments in making decisions and quickly adopting homeland security systems and solutions. Rapid action plays an important part in protecting a country against the threat of impending danger. For instance, cyber solutions are driven by intelligence gathering by continuously monitoring networks.

The lack of proactive measures, especially in cyber security and emergency response, is the key reason for the lack of proactive procurement and implementation. In February 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the three basic deficiencies of the departments were lack of technology expertise, supply chain management, and security tradecraft, exacerbated by inexperienced managerial appointees.
