Middle East Mass Transport Security Market is Set to Experience Significant Growth Driven by Infrastructure Development in the Region


Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Monday, March 15, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- The mass transport security market in the Middle East has gained importance in recent years due to the growth in infrastructure and terrorist threat perception in the region. Metro, high-speed corridors and freight corridors are being built and most of the projects undertaken by the countries in the region are ambitious, significant and first of its kind. Mass transport security, in particular, has considerable growth potential, as most of the projects are planned for completion before 2018.

A rising expatriate population coupled with increasingly congested roads is giving way to new forms of transportation systems in Middle East. Investment into transportation infrastructures is at present considered a status symbol in Middle East.

"Rail infrastructures worth $100.00 billion are either planned or being constructed in the Middle East," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Sasidharan Chandran. "The initiation of the Gulf common rail project is expected to boost cooperation amongst the Gulf countries."

However, the restraints for the Middle East mass transport security market include reluctance to spend on security systems and a lengthy sales cycle. With an expanding competitor base, the profit margins of companies are likely to experience marginal growth.

"Acceptance level among the passengers and fewer regulatory procedures for mass transport security are major challenges faced by the companies," explains Chandran.

The Middle East mass transport security market participants should provide 'specific solutions' because of the open and fragmented environment prevailing in design structures of mass transports unlike other forms of transportation. Therefore, open architectures and presence of multiple entry and exit points for passengers are making the security manufacturers design unique solutions for mass transports.

"Security companies should diversify their product offerings to garner greater market share," concludes Chandran. "Since the Middle East security market is highly fragmented, business collaborations with system integrators and tier 2 companies are highly recommended."
