Segment Analysis
Application Insights
The market is segmented as commercial and defense. The commercial segment is estimated to register a higher growth during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is driven by the demand for enhanced security in futuristic smart cities.
On the other hand, the defense application segment of gunshot detection systems includes soldier wearables, installation on armored vehicles, border crossings, and military installations at edifices and bases, among others. Defense systems are attentive at localization of the origin of gunshots and delivering information for counter-offensive strategies.
Installation Insights
The market is segmented into fixed installations, soldier-mounted, and vehicle installations. The fixed installations segment is estimated to witness the highest growth in the coming five years.
Nevertheless, the vehicle installations segment commands the global market and the market potential for GDS systems on vehicle installations will significantly escalate based on the growing demand for armored vehicles from the militaries across the globe.
Regional Insights
The US gunshot detection system market is estimated to portray the highest growth during the forecast period. Factors contributing to the threat of gunfire-related incidents have been gun ownership in the US and illegal arms sales.
The rise in deaths or homicide incidents triggered off using guns is a grave concern in the region. The North American gunshot detection system market is expected to witness substantial growth, driven by the high number of firearm-related deaths in the region, especially in the US, where the firearm-related death rate outpaces other countries by 25 times.
Further, prominent US cities are deliberating to install indoor gunshot detection systems at corporate offices, universities, schools, hospitals, and financial facilities, among others, over the next 5 years. Europe and Asia-Pacific are also expected to offer sizeable growth opportunities during the forecast period.
