Winning a security project today is a bit like playing a game of chess.

Sometimes it’s good to be wrong. In late 2012, security systems integrators and dealers forecasted that their total annual revenue would improve only slightly — 1 percent, on average — during 2013.

Last year was good, but 2018 could be great, say security integrators and security dealers who participated in the 2018 SDM Industry Forecast Study and Panel, a report that SDM has published annually since 1982. The economy is roaring.

Security integrators expect their stellar 2018 performance to continue into 2019, according to results of SDM’s 2019 Industry Forecast Study, a report published annually by SDM since 1982. Last year saw double-digit growth in both total annual revenue and recurring monthly revenue (RMR) for integrators and dealers who participated in the study.

Security integrators expect their brilliant business performance of 2019 to continue into 2020, according to results of SDM’s Industry Forecast Study, a report published each year since 1982.

To say 2020 was a bit of a roller coaster ride is perhaps an understatement. At this time last year, most security integrators anticipated a strong 2020, only to be thrown into turmoil late in the first quarter by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Everyone hoped things would be “back to normal” by now. While security companies in 2021 continued to feel the impacts of the coronavirus, the 2022 SDM Industry Forecast shows both slow but steady improvement and optimism.

The good news is COVID-19 seems to be in the rear-view mirror; but ahead all signs point to a recession. Security dealers and integrators are wary, but cautiously optimistic they can weather this downturn with the skills they have honed in recent years.

With the pandemic and supply chain issues both mostly in the rear-view mirror, security dealers and integrators are returning to “normal” and focusing on more typical challenges such as the economy, increasing sales, competing effectively and generating more RMR.
