Border Surveillance Market Trends

• Rising border security surveillance systems and infrastructure is driving the market growth

The demand for naval maritime and border security surveillance systems and infrastructure will be driven by the increasing transnational threats such as the smuggling of counterfeit goods, drug & human trafficking, illegal immigration, weapons smuggling, and other criminal activities across countries. The repeated incidents of terrorist infiltration through borders and sea lines are also anticipated to emerge as a major factor driving market CAGR growth of border surveillance systems over the forecast period. Various maritime and border security agencies worldwide are deploying advanced Integrated Border Surveillance Systems (IBSS) to tackle these issues and effectively enhance their real-time situational awareness. The IBSS can accurately detect, track, classify, and recognize targets near the border. It constitutes a key component of maritime and border security. Improving the decision-making capability, information management, and effective coordination of response teams is vital to manage the identified threats.

Additionally, global demand is rising significantly since policymakers are increasing their budgets to combat infiltration, militant threats, illicit activity, and illegal immigration. The border security system protects the countries and international borders against human smuggling and terrorism. Moreover, it is responsible for preventing the illegal transport of drugs, weapons, and contraband across borders. Lasers, cameras, and radar are used in border defense networks. Implementing border security systems improves surveillance capability, real-time target photographs, and accurate target location capabilities. Also, border defense forces track data daily to develop improved security tactics and provide more protection to its people, thus acting as a key driver of the border surveillance market revenue.
