With the rapid development of China's economy, people's attention to safety issues has prompted the rapid development of China's security industry market. The social security situation caused by the economic development process is also worrying. The ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor has caused the crime rate in developing countries to rise continuously, and the demand for security products in society has also been rising. Access control systems in the security industry have become one of the most common security subsystems in most intelligent projects; at the same time, access control card systems have been acquired in industries such as government, enterprises, factories, petrochemicals, automobiles, shipbuilding, finance, hospitals, and military units. A large number of applications, by 2007, China has become the world's second largest security market following the United States.
The status of the access control industry
In the traditional security industry, the access control card is part of the security subsystem in the intelligent weak current system. It integrates automatic identification technology and modern security management measures. It involves electronics, machinery, optics, computer technology, communication technology, biotechnology, etc. The new technology is moving towards a high degree of integration, which reflects the requirements of modern intelligent management.
According to A&S Security Magazine's “Ten Gates Banned Brands†selection at the end of 2008, a total of nearly 1,000 domestic access control brands were received, while fewer than 100 companies had annual industrial scale sales of more than 10 million, and 70% of access control companies were distributed in the Pearl River. Delta, according to Guangzhou Qianjia.com, the December 4, 2008 China Intelligent Building Branding Awards sponsored by Guangzhou Qianjia.com, the company won the 2008 ten-door access control system brand (in no particular order): DDS, Siemens, Shenzhen Dasci Intelligent , Mengzi, Hangzhou Cube, Ingersoll-Rand, Shenzhen Jieshun, Intervet, Cosson Electronics, and European Products (OPEN) According to A&S Magazine's top ten brand surveys in 2008, HID, Jieshun, and honeywell Kesong, Zhongguan, DDS, Phake, Mengely, GE, and Shenzhen Dasci Intelligent are basically the same in the comparison of 70% of enterprises, indicating that the investigation of the media for the industry is objectively representative.
According to relevant data, the market size of RFID-based access control systems in China’s domestic access market from 2005 to 2006 was about 2.5 to 3 billion yuan, and the fingerprint access control system was about 400 million yuan. According to relevant statistics, there are more than 10,000 companies engaged in security access control products, including system engineering companies, 2780 companies that include “access control†in their main operations, and 1,447 security and alarm access control businesses. There are 3857 in Guangdong, 1452 in Shanghai, 1139 in Beijing, 796 in Jiangsu, 632 in Zhejiang, 366 in Fujian, 349 in Shandong, 203 in Liaoning, and 205 in Hubei.
Access Control Industry Trends
With the rapid increase in market demand for smart buildings, factories, mines, and banks in the past three years, the industrial chain of China's security access control system products and ancillary equipment market has achieved rapid growth of over 20% to 25% per year. Security access control systems and supporting (including smart card parts and electronic locks, etc.) market size will reach 18 billion.
According to the statistics released by the Eleventh China International Smart Card Expo, as of the end of 2006, the cumulative number of cards issued nationwide was 3 billion, of which 1.01 billion mobile phone IC cards, 809 million public IC cards, and second-generation resident status. 398 million cards, 148 million campus cards, 67 million social security cards, 77 million public transportation IC cards, and 674 million other types of IC cards. By 2008, China's annual average amount of smart cards issued has accounted for 15% of the total number of cards issued worldwide. The National Gold Card Project's "2008 China RFID Development Report" released at the "2009 China International Smart Card and RFID Expo" forecast: In 2009, the scale of China's RFID market will be 7.03 billion yuan, an increase of 20.6% from 2008.
At the same time, according to estimates by relevant experts, the market potential for the construction of single cards in only 1,792 colleges and universities in China is nearly 6 billion (481 private universities are not included in the statistics), and all aspects of the industry chain such as radio frequency cards and reading/writing equipment for access control card systems are included. The electronic lock, software and system integration also achieved rapid development. On the other hand, as one of the most promising information technologies in this century, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been highly valued by the global industry.
