In Saudi Arabia, transportation, commercial offices and retail sector are the major demand drivers for access control systems.

According to 6Wresearch, Saudi Arabia Access Control Systems Market is forecast to grow at CAGR of 10.14% during 2015-21, fueled by growing construction market in the region. Increasing security spending, government expenditure for infrastructure development, growing terrorist threats, and safety of physical assets and critical financial information are boosting the demand for access control systems in Saudi Arabia.

According to “Prijo Samuel, Senior Research Analyst, Research and Consulting, 6Wresearch,” Biometric access control systems is anticipated to be one of the fastest growing segments in Saudi Arabia’s access control market, with fingerprint biometric systems contributing majority of revenue in the biometrics market.

“Demand for biometric access control systems is growing across sectors such as commercial offices, banking, retail, healthcare, hospitality and education as these offer high level of security over card reader systems,” Samuel further added.

According to “Ravi Bhandari, Research Associate, Research and Consulting, 6Wresearch,” In the Saudi Arabia Access Control Market, card reader accounted for major revenue share in 2014, followed by biometric and others.
