and integration of the digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). These factors are restraining
the market growth and development.

However, these challenges also present opportunities for the global perimeter security market to grow
and flourish in near future. The demand for cost- effective solutions coupled with the growing concerns
regarding data privacy provides prospects for the companies to differentiate themselves as innovative
perimeter security solution provider in near future. This can help the companies in maintaining their
competitive edge. Currently, the demand for customized solutions, user friendly interfaces and scalability
is on rise. By leveraging this trend, the companies engaging in the industry can provide unique and
customized solutions on the basis of their client’s requirements. Additionally, the modern perimeter
security solutions are designed with intuitive interfaces so that it would help the user to monitor and
manage security systems easily. Scalability is an important aspect for consideration as it allows the
security system to adapt to the changing needs of the customers. Thus, as the importance of the
perimeter security solutions is gaining importance, the market is poised to have a significant growth in
the upcoming years.
