Security Market Index
About the Security Market Index
Security Market Index (SMI) is a bimonthly publication created by the Security Industry Association (SIA) for SIA members that provides the latest market confidence numbers for the security industry.
SIA's SMI report measures security industry executives’ current status and future expectations through a select survey of SIA members. The Index’s goal is to provide a macro-view of confidence levels in the security industry every two months while closely examining six specific business measures:
- Number of employees or hours worked
- Marketing spending
- Product production or service output
- Capital equipment spending
- Research and development spending
- Product or service sales
