Security Market Index: July/August 2025 Edition
Positive Sentiments in Security Industry Reach 2025 High Point
Security industry leaders rated current business conditions at their highest level of the year in the July–August 2025 Security Industry Association (SIA) Security Market Index (SMI) survey.
With 28% of respondents rating conditions as “excellent” and 53% saying they are “good,” the total positive responses—81%—matched the 2025 high that was recorded in the January–February survey.
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 July–August 2025 SMI include:
- Security companies’ growth projections for the next three months
- Job growth scaling back amid an expanding economy
- Industry perspectives on the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
