Security Market Index: January/February 2025 Edition
More Than 80% Report Positive Conditions as Security Market Index Hits 2-Year High
The security industry is starting off the year strong, with more than four out of five participants in the January-February 2025 Security Industry Association (SIA) Security Market Index (SMI) survey reporting positive sentiments.
SIA thanks Wesco for supporting the Security Market Index.
When asked to rate current business conditions for their companies, more than 27% of security leaders polled said “excellent” and nearly 54% said “good.
The SMI 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
- R&D spending
- Product or service sales
Special focuses of SIA’s January-February 2025 SMI include:
- A strong growth forecast for the next three months
- Insights on the impact of rising inflation and slowed job creation
- Perspectives on how new tariffs on imports to the U.S. from Mexico and Canada will affect the security industry
