In its report “State of the Market: Security & Monitoring 2017,” SDM Magazine described a generally optimistic market outlook, with opportunities particularly strong in intrusion (burglar) alarms. Since the last survey, the percentage of burglar alarms sold has increased rapidly to account for 30 percent of the market.
One major driver of growth is the 2G sunset, or network shutdown, which had an official deadline of late 2016. With 2G towers and systems still in use to some degree as a practical matter, dealers are making moves to adopt later-generation telephone line communications technologies. This generates system upgrades and boosts sales in alarm systems that feature the latest protocol and technologies.
