Market Snapshot

Global Railway Platform Security Market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.5% during the review period, 2019–2025.

The factors responsible for the growth of the railway platform security market include rising need to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to platforms and increasing demand for additional support and advanced solutions for security management. Railway passenger security is interlinked with the safety and security of railway assets such as railway platforms and trains. Minimizing unauthorized access with the help of control systems ensures a high level of security for passengers as well as goods at the railway platform. Several measures are taken to restrict unauthorized access in the form of fencing for railway tracks, installation of CCTVs at high-risk locations, the provision of information to risk groups, and the intensification of supervision. Access control systems play a vital role in preventing unauthorized access by automating entry and exit operations and securing crucial areas. Moreover, the entry of unauthorized persons and a large number of visitors lead to unmanageable crowds on railway platforms with the presence of unmanned multi-entry and exit points at stations that can be vulnerable to security threats; hence, the need to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to platforms has increased. The global railway platform security market has been segmented on the basis of component, application, and region. Under the component segment solutions sub-segment is attributed to holding potential growth prospects whereas, among the services sub-segment, managed services are expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
