Market Definition

An intercom system is an advanced type of door entry system with a camera for managing access to a building. Like other types of intercom systems, a video door intercom with a camera also supports communication between visitors and occupants. Rather than relying on just voice, occupants can view live or recorded images from a door entry reader equipped with a camera to verify a visitor's identity before granting access.

Intercom technology supports many other advanced features to strengthen access control security and improve convenience for occupants and visitors. Features such as remote unlocking, cloud-based management, integration with building management systems, artificial intelligence, and facial recognition technologies are giving businesses and property managers greater efficiency and flexibility in managing property access.

• Increase in robbery and thief cases across the globe

Robbery is the act of stealing, especially by brute force or through threats of violence. Robbers can rob a person or a place, such as a house or business. Due to increasing cases of robbery, intercom usage is increasing in various institutions such as schools and hospitals among others.

Restraint/ Challenge

• Rise in cyber security & threats weakening intercom solutions

Cybercrime/hacking and cyber security issues have increased by 600% during the pandemic across all sectors. Flaws in network or software security are weaknesses that hackers exploit to perform unauthorized actions within a system. According to Purple Sec LLC, in 2018, mobile malware variants for mobile have increased by 54%, out of which 98% of mobile malware target Android devices. 25% of businesses are estimated to have been victims of crypto-jacking, including the security industry.  

Opportunities

• Growing government initiatives toward the development of smart cities

The initiatives taken by the government in smart cities and communities are done by two governance bodies that are a high-level group advising the European Commission (EC) made up of senior representatives from industries, cities, and civil society, as well as the smart cities stakeholder platform. The platform focuses on identifying the solutions and needs of various developers. The smart cities stakeholder platform is essentially about promoting innovations. It aims to accelerate the development and market deployment of energy efficiency and low carbon technology applications in the urban environment.

• Increased check on deter burglars, baby monitoring, and ensuring the safety of the property

Burglar's activities are increasing daily in various countries such as the U.K. Most criminals try to avoid risky situations, and these people prefer easy targets with a low-risk reward ratio. Intercom devices are being used to ensure and increase the safety of properties in different cities. Hard-wired intercoms are connected by cables and installed in buildings, apartments, and manufacturing facilities.

Post COVID-19 Impact on Europe Intercom Devices market

COVID-19 created a major impact on the Europe intercom devices market as almost every country opted for the shutdown of every production facility except the ones dealing in producing the essential goods. The government took some strict actions, such as the shutdown of production and sale of non-essential goods, blocked international trade, and many more, to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The only business which was dealing in this pandemic situation were the essential services that were allowed to open and run the processes.

The growth of the intercom devices market is rising due to the advanced security audio visual systems post-COVID. Also, the opening of lockdown is boosting the intercom industry, which is raising the demand for intercom devices in the market. However, factors such as the rise in cyber security & threats weakening intercom solutions are restraining the market growth. The shutdown of production facilities during the pandemic situation has had a significant impact on the market.

Manufacturers are making various strategic decisions to bounce back post-COVID-19. The players are conducting multiple research and development activities to improve the technology involved in the Intercom devices. With this, the companies will bring advanced and accurate solutions to the market. In addition, the government initiatives to boost international trade have led to the market's growth.
