1 Fact Sheet Photo: Emrah Turudu istockphoto.com Security Technologies Industry R&D Cooperation and Business Partnering Opportunities in Germany Europe s Largest Security Technologies Market In an increasingly globalized world, risks and threats are spreading more rapidly than ever before. Consequently, security technologies are becoming ever more important in the safety and security of people s lives and business infrastructures. The global security technologies market was estimated at EUR 100 billion in With overall turnover of almost EUR 20 billion, the German security technologies industry is the largest in Europe. In Germany alone, the overall security technologies industry is expected to increase to EUR 31 billion by equivalent to an annual growth rate of six percent. Security technologies made in Germany enjoy strong global brand recognition thanks to their ascribed characteristics of quality and technical know-how. State-of-the-art technology and high system competence levels are similarly helping drive security technology industry success in both domestic and international markets. Close working partnerships (between the private sector and academic research institutes) are likewise contributing significantly to a growing market sector with stable long-term growth opportunities.

2 Market Opportunities Security Technologies in Germany Primary Segments Forecast IT Security Break-in Prevention Emergency Communication Equipment Fire, Gas and Smoke Identification & Authentication Hazardous Substances Investigations Source: VDI/VDE-IT GmbH 2009 Market Growth: Primary Technology Segments +33.5% +124% 7,500 10,000 The German security technologies market can be subdivided into eight different segments; of these, the IT Security, Identification & Authentication and Hazardous Substances sectors are expected to record significant market increases in the immediate future. IT Security The IT security segment consists of IT products and services designed to ensure the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of data (i.e. anti-virus software, remote access, content filtering, mobile security, identity management et al.). This segment is expected to generate turnover of EUR 10.6 billion by 2015 (equivalent to 12 percent annual growth rate). Identification & Authentication This segment includes all systems and technologies used to verify personal identity. It is estimated that the German market will grow to EUR 1.7 billion by 2015, with an above average yearly growth in leading subsegments including biometrical identification cards (15 percent) and forgeryproof systems (10 percent) % +22.4% +4.7% +87% +50.6% +15% 2,500 5,000 Market turnover in EUR million Hazardous Substances This segment refers to all innovations used to detect and classify hazardous substances. It is estimated that the German market will generate annual turnover of EUR 1.2 billion by Exceptionally high demand is foreseen for sophisticated chemical and biological analytic systems. Value Chain Growth: Interdisciplinary Technologies The sheer diversity of existing possible applications available means that a number of technology segments cannot be exclusively assigned to the security technology industry. However, they do have a crucial effect on functionality and performance of components for engineering security and safety products. Three segments which are expected to record significant midterm growth are the Measurement and Sensors Technology, Biometrics and RFID sectors. Measurement and Sensors Technology German companies active in this field enjoy an international market share of 30 percent; achieving average annually growth of nine percent over the last 10 years. This accretion will continue with a forecast growth of between 8 percent and 12 percent in the medium term. Biometrics German companies hold an internationally leading position in this segment, generating turnover of around EUR 300 million in Biometrics technology helps create new applications particularly in the access control management sectors. Fingerprint recognition remains the most important technology, with facial recognition gaining in importance. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) According to Deutsche Bank Research, global RFID sales will grow annually by 25 percent and reach a volume of EUR 16 billion in In Germany alone RFID sales are predicted to reach EUR 2.2 billion in This crosssectional technology will influence various industries in making operational processes more efficient.
