Electronic access control before 2017 or beyond the mechanical lock market

Access control market broke 5.2 billion scale

In 2011, according to the performance of domestic mainstream access control manufacturers, the average operating income of each manufacturer increased by more than 45%~50%. At the same time, the proportion of brand marketing of domestic access control card and second-line brand increased rapidly, and the sales scale of some second-line brand enterprises broke the historical sales high. Under the government's continuous expansion of large-scale infrastructure projects and the rapid development of the industry market, the market size trend of domestic access control system products sales in 2012 reached 5.8 billion yuan, an annual growth of about 35%. In addition, the 2012 access control card and related The scale of the supporting engineering industry chain has further created a record high.

Since the "M1 cracking event", the domestic access control market has gradually moved towards rational development. The simple price competition is no longer valued by manufacturers, and individualized solutions and products have been transformed from quantity to quality. Due to the development of the domestic market economy, the demand for industrialization of security products is obvious, and the personalized professional solutions have become the highlights of various manufacturers.

From the perspective of market demand, the huge market of 675 prisons, 3,200 detention centers and 350 labor camps in the country has become the focus of first-line brands; and the demand for access control cards in many industries such as rail transit and petrochemical industry is strong; During the peak construction period, mobile, telecommunications, and Unicom investment mobile phone access control card market promotion; campus card, corporate card, citizen card, etc., the popularity of the access control market will maintain an average annual growth rate of 30% to 35%.

Based on the current performance report of 11 domestic listed security companies, coupled with the impact of domestic residential purchase restrictions in the past three years, investment-oriented business intelligence buildings will continue to be hot spots. In addition, the market demand in the fields of factories and mines, banks and other areas promoted by the security monitoring HD market, and the access control industry has become the “three pillars” of the security system in parallel with the anti-theft alarm system and video surveillance system.

Electronic access control before 2017 or beyond the mechanical lock market

Access control systems are becoming more popular as they provide time management and integration of building automation systems while providing a higher level of security. The main obstacle to the growth of electronic access control is the high upfront cost, and the long-term benefits benefit from the reduction and re-budgeting costs associated with mechanical cylinders. While the trend of access control solutions is driving the popularity of electric locks, they do not completely replace mechanical locks. IHS expects that most applications will require a mechanical lock to cover in the event of a power failure or system error. Such access control is the only limitation of the medium-term growth of mechanical solutions and is not necessarily replaced.

In terms of the popularity of electric locks, electromagnetic locks and electric shock locks are the most commonly used electric lock devices in access control systems. Traditionally, electromagnetic locks have been the standard solution, but more sophisticated markets such as the US and Western Europe have begun to use the most advanced electric shock locks. The electric shock lock is safer, more beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and more energy efficient than electromagnetic locks. It is expected to have strong growth in all regions outside Asia from 2012 to 2017. This is because the Chinese market has a preference for electromagnetic locks that exceeds the electric shock lock. Electromagnetic locks are easier to manufacture, more affordable, and simpler to install, making them more price competitive in the Chinese market.

The solution trend of the electric lock not only affects the mechanical lock. Globally, IHS estimates that the 2012 standard machinery and equipment exports accounted for 70.8% of all export equipment revenues, and is expected to fall to 69.8% by 2017, due to the increasing use of electrified decoration and electric lock retraction. Device. According to Jiuzheng Building Materials Network, the realization of the electric lock device as a safe means of solution is usually to install an electric escape device for export on a complete access control system.

The effect of mechanical locks on the access control system

The access control management system has grown rapidly, which is higher than the average level of the security market, mainly because the access control system is easier to integrate with the attendance system and building automation system. The main obstacle to the growth of electronic access control systems is higher prepaid costs, and the long-term benefit is lower mechanical lock key renewal costs.

The electronic lock market grew with the development of access control solutions, but did not completely replace the status of mechanical locks. IHS predicts that most applications still require mechanical locks, such as when the system is faulty or failed to start, the access control system will only have an impact on the mechanical lock solution market for a long period of time.

Electromagnetic locks and electric locks are the most common electronic locks that are integrated with access control systems. Traditionally, electromagnetic locks have become the standard solution to be adopted, but in mature markets such as the United States and Western Europe, there is a tendency to adopt electric locks. Electric locks are considered safer, more aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient, and are expected to grow even higher in Asia beyond 2012-2017. People in China prefer to use electromagnetic locks more than electric locks. Electromagnetic locks are easier to manufacture, cheaper, and easier to install, making them more popular in more cost-effective markets.

From the perspective of providing a complete solution, electric locks not only have an impact on the mechanical lock market, but also the import and export equipment market. IHS estimates that the global market for machinery import and export equipment accounted for 70.8% of the total import and export equipment market in 2012. This is the reason why the data is expected to fall to 69.8% in 2017. Despite the active market for electronic lock solutions, the global mid-term will be dominated by mechanical locks. IHS estimates that in 2012, 77% of the global import and export equipment market will be mechanical locks, and by 2017 the mechanical lock will drop to 71%.

Overall, the electric lock solution is actively moving towards an international level. Due to this trend, the growth of mechanical locks is subject to some restrictions, but the global mechanical lock market is expected to continue to grow healthily in the medium term. In terms of revenue, IHS estimates that in 2012, machinery accounted for about 77% of the market share of mechanical locks and electric locks (shock locks and electromagnetic). However, by 2017, the mechanical lock solution on the market will be reduced to 71%.
