Latin America. According to research by Arizton, the physical security market for data centers in Latin America will rise at a CAGR of 11.27% and reach $24.1 million by 2027. Likewise, a study by Research And Markets pointed out that same figure and that punctually the video surveillance market will reach $ 9 million.
Now, the Research And Markets report, called "Latin America Data Center Physical Security Market: Industry Outlook and Forecast 2022-2027" indicated that this market was worth $12.7 million in 2021.
In addition, he assured that the installation of racks in existing data centers has driven the adoption of cabinet security solutions, so the specific cabinet security market in the region will grow at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 14.04% by 2027.
Research And Markets said demand for video surveillance systems is increasing as investments in data centers increase. In that sense, he explained that Brazil and Mexico marked this trend of increase in 2021, as they were the main contributors of income to the physical security market for Data Center in Latin America, being responsible for more than 65% of the investment of that year.
Finally, another relevant fact of this report is that "the increased deployment of perimeter and cloud-based data center facilities will increase the demand for physical security solutions, such as access control systems and video surveillance". Issue because, according to the company, the video surveillance security market in Latin America will reach $ 9 million dollars in five years.
Now, going back to Arizton's research, he found that data center providers prefer multiple layers of security. Moreover, several data centers are implementing five-layer systems due to the increasing demand for colocation services, which is an important factor for the physical security market. That is, the adoption of anti-escalation perimeter security gains momentum.
To understand it better, it is necessary to state that "anti-escalation perimeter security systems work both tactilely and visually, with additional security that detects intruders approaching or crossing the fence". In this sense, the fence is installed together with the entrance and exit doors, in addition to the support of security agents, cameras, sensors and traps for vehicles.
Thus, the products that will be most in demand in the next 5 years focus on video surveillance, access control, physical security layers, security perimeter, building security, security cabinet, colocation data centers and enterprise data.
Finally, Arizton's paper emphasized that "the concept of Edge Computing will also be a strong growth factor for the market in the coming years". Faced with this, modular data center service providers will be key to the growth of physical security in Latin America.
