The security industry is experiencing a significant surge in attention as it enters its construction peak. On July 2nd, hundreds of institutional researchers gathered in Shenzhen for the "Security Investment Strategy Conference," where experts highlighted that the sector is set to enter a boom period. Video surveillance, in particular, is expected to be the most valuable segment within the security industry, driving rapid growth. Major listed companies such as Anjubao participated in the event, engaging in discussions with analysts about future strategies.
According to a report from the Shanghai Daily, Professor Qi Haiming from the Guangdong Provincial Security Association provided an overview of the industry’s development. He noted that 2012 marked a low point for the sector, but by 2013, it began to move into a more active phase. From an environmental perspective, demand for security solutions has been steadily increasing. Recent incidents across different regions have underscored the importance of stability, indicating that investment in security will remain strong and sustainable. International experience also shows a close link between security spending and GDP, though China's investment proportion is notably higher.
From an internal demand standpoint, urbanization and various social contradictions are key drivers behind the growing need for security services. The government-led Safe City projects are currently the primary engine of growth in the sector. Meanwhile, local governments are becoming the main investors, with their resources forming the foundation for many large-scale initiatives. Strong financial capabilities and access to capital are essential for companies aiming to thrive in this space.
China's security industry is increasingly seen as a vital part of national efforts to boost domestic demand, stimulate investment, and promote industrial upgrades. Smart cities represent the ultimate vision for future urban development, expanding the scope of security applications into areas like communications, transportation, infrastructure, and more. Shanxi Securities recently released a positive report on the industry, highlighting its massive market potential and sustained high growth.
The downstream applications of the security industry are vast. Currently, the Chinese market remains largely government-driven, with civilian demand still in early stages. However, the government-led Safe City initiatives are expected to remain the core driver of growth. Additionally, the application of security technologies in specific industries is gaining momentum, while the civilian market holds enormous untapped potential.
Looking ahead, the main growth areas for the security industry will continue to be Safe City projects, industry expansion, and civilian applications. As more government projects get underway, Safe City initiatives will maintain their dominant position. In terms of industrial applications, the trend is shifting from key sectors to broader economic fields. Meanwhile, the civilian market is still in its infancy, offering vast room for development.
Policy support has also played a crucial role. Since the start of 2010, both national and local “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†development strategies have been introduced. Many cities now view smart city construction as a top priority, with generous financial backing. According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the total investment in smart city pilot projects during the 12th Five-Year Plan period is expected to reach 500 billion yuan.
In terms of product differentiation, China’s security industry has gained international recognition for its standardized offerings. However, the growing homogeneity of domestic products presents challenges. Manufacturers that offer only basic products risk being caught in price competition with global buyers. Distributors also play a critical role in connecting manufacturers with end-users, but some mid-tier distributors are struggling. To help them grow, manufacturers must find ways to support their expansion into new markets.
To succeed in overseas markets, domestic manufacturers should focus on two key areas: first, at the product level, they should move beyond standardization and design application-specific solutions while improving quality and after-sales service. This means understanding the unique needs of different sectors—such as rail, airports, power, high-speed rail, schools, urban monitoring, traffic systems, stadiums, finance, and prisons—and tailoring products accordingly. Second, when entering emerging markets, they should avoid falling into price wars. Instead, manufacturers should treat distributors as partners, offering added value beyond simple purchasing agreements.
Precision Optical Flats are ideal for a variety of applications including interferometry, imaging systems, laser applications, optical path folding, and autocollimation. These mirrors are available in a variety of coating and substrate options, along with surface flatness options of λ/10 and λ/20. Fused Silica, is optically clear and features excellent resistance to abrasion and high durability, making it the best choice for applications in harsh environments.
Silicon features a Knoop Hardness of 1150 and low density, making it tougher than germanium substrates and suitable for weight-sensitive applications, respectively. Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coated Silicon Windows are engineered for 3 to 5µm, making them ideal for infrared defense applications such as thermal imaging.
Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coated Silicon Windows provide anti-reflection coating on one surface and a specially designed DLC coating on the other surface, making these windows highly durable and ideal for harsh environments.
