The year 2025 marked a defining phase for the global and Indian security industry. Accelerated digitalisation, rapid adoption of artificial intelligence, rising geopolitical tensions, evolving terror threats, and growing concerns around cyber-physical vulnerabilities collectively reshaped the security landscape. For India, in particular, the convergence of smart city initiatives, critical infrastructure expansion, and heightened homeland security priorities pushed the industry into a new era of technological sophistication and strategic relevance. At the same time, the security sector witnessed a fundamental shift in expectations. Customers moved beyond conventional surveillance and access control solutions towards intelligent, integrated, and outcome-driven security ecosystems. Policymakers and law enforcement agencies increasingly emphasised predictive capabilities, data-driven decision-making, and resilience against emerging threats, while enterprises sought solutions that balanced security imperatives with privacy, compliance, and operational efficiency. As the industry steps into 2026, it stands at a critical crossroads. The coming year is poised to test the sector’s readiness to adapt to disruptive technologies, manage complex threat vectors, and respond to rapidly evolving regulatory frameworks. The strategic choices made today by – technology providers, system integrators, policymakers, and end-users – will determine not only the trajectory of the security industry but also the broader safety and stability of societies and economies. In this context, SecurityLinkIndia presents insights from leading voices across the security ecosystem to assess the industry’s performance in 2025 and decode the opportunities, risks, and priorities that will define 2026. Their perspectives offer a collective intelligence that reflects both the challenges faced and the possibilities ahead, making this compilation a vital reference for stakeholders shaping the future of security in India and beyond. Overall performance of the Indian security & surveillance industry in 2025 2025 has been a strong and transformative year for the Indian security and surveillance industry. The sector witnessed healthy growth driven by rapid infrastructure development, increased urbanisation, and heightened enterprise focus on risk management and compliance. There has been a visible shift from traditional manpower-led models to technology-integrated security solutions. Investments increased across AI-enabled surveillance, remote monitoring, access control, and command centre-based operations. Customers are no longer buying standalone products or guarding services; they are investing in outcome-driven, integrated security ecosystems. Overall, 2025 positioned the industry on a higher maturity curve with stronger adoption of digital platforms, analytics, and centralised operations. Most significant shifts in 2025 reshaping the industry The most significant shift in 2025 was the convergence of physical security, technology, and data intelligence. Enterprises moved from reactive security to predictive and preventive models. Key changes included: Security is now seen as a strategic business enabler, not just a support function. Technologies, verticals, and risks driving growth in 2026 In 2026, the growth of the Indian security industry will be driven by technologies that enable intelligence, integration, and real-time response. AI-powered surveillance, advanced video analytics, remote monitoring platforms, and integrated command-and-control systems will see accelerated adoption as enterprises look to move from manpower-heavy models to technology-led security ecosystems. The convergence of physical and digital security will also gain momentum, with organisations demanding unified platforms that bring together access control, surveillance, workforce monitoring, and incident management. From a market perspective, sectors such airports, logistics and warehousing, large manufacturing hubs, healthcare facilities, and smart infrastructure projects will continue to be major growth drivers. At the same time, rising concerns around business continuity, infrastructure resilience, insider threats, and operational disruptions will push security from a functional requirement to a strategic investment area, shaping both spending priorities and solution design across industries. Industry preparedness for 2026 and urgent gaps The Indian security industry is significantly better prepared today than it was even a few years ago. There is greater professionalism, stronger regulatory awareness, and a visible shift toward technology integration, centralized operations, and data-led security management. Many organisations have already begun investing in digital platforms, training frameworks, and scalable service models to address the evolving threat landscape. However, to truly meet the demands of 2026, the industry must urgently address a few structural gaps. Skill development and workforce upgradation remain critical, especially in areas such as technology operations, analytics, and advanced incident response. Standardisation of processes, compliance frameworks, and service benchmarks must also improve to build trust and consistency at a national level. Finally, deeper integration of technologies is required, as fragmented deployments limit impact. The next phase of growth will belong to organisations that invest in people, platforms, and process excellence simultaneously. Overall performance of the Indian security & surveillance industry in 2025 The year 2025 can be described as a year of consolidation and transition for the Indian security industry. While growth remained steady across key sectors such as infrastructure, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and public facilities, the real progress was visible in the industry’s evolving mindset. Security is no longer viewed purely as a manpower deployment function; it is increasingly recognised as a structured, accountable, and technology-supported service. Investments in surveillance, access control, command centres, and remote monitoring increased, but more importantly, customers began demanding professionalism, compliance, and measurable outcomes. For service providers like AP Securitas, 2025 reinforced the importance of combining trained manpower with technology, standard operating procedures, and governance. Overall, the industry moved up the maturity curve, even though adoption levels still vary across regions and sectors. Most significant shifts in 2025 reshaping the industry The most significant shift in 2025 was the change in customer expectations. Clients are no longer satisfied with headcount-based security models. They are asking sharper questions around effectiveness, compliance, training standards, response capability, and accountability. Regulatory focus on labour compliance, wage structures, and workforce formalisation also became more pronounced, compelling serious players to strengthen governance and operational transparency. At the same time, threats became more complex – ranging from theft and pilferage to insider risks, operational disruptions, and safety incidents – requiring better supervision, reporting, and escalation mechanisms. This combination of regulatory pressure and evolving risk profiles pushed the industry toward structured, process-driven, and technology-assisted security delivery models. Technologies, verticals, and risks driving growth in 2026 In 2026, growth will be driven by technologies that enhance…
