Research shows major growth in contactless and multi-application deployment, though price still remains key driver

In March 2010 Avisian Publishing and HID Global embarked on a research effort to gauge reader perceptions related to future trends in physical access control. The project produced an interesting look at both the current state and future direction of the security market. The following article highlights key findings from the research.

The methodology was straightforward. A 14-question survey was developed and made available for online response. Calls for participation were promoted via article postings and banner ads on Avisian’s ID technology focused Web sites. During a four-day period, 250 responses were collected, with approximately 150 from end users or issuers of access products and an additional 100 responses from industry representatives. For this review only end user responses were considered.
