Law enforcement software: Key market research findings
- Growing demand for high security drives market growth
- Increasing use of mobile law enforcement applications
- Key vendors – Abbott Informatics, DFLabs, IntelliChoice, Spillman Technologies, and Wynyard
Technavio’s market research analysts expect the global law enforcement software market to grow at a CAGR of around 5% between 2016 and 2020. The growth of this market is stimulated by an increase in demand for high-level security. The instances of terrorist attacks and data thefts are skyrocketing, resulting in a greater need for high-level security. Various nations across the globe are giving utmost priority to security and are adopting law enforcement software to help them solve crimes quickly. At present, the Americas account for over 53% of the overall market share to dominate the global law enforcement software market, with the US and Canada being the two leading countries in the region. The increasing use of law enforcement mobile applications by officials and a rise in criminal activities are the fundamental factors that will influence the growth of the market in this region during the forecast period.
The new market research report from Technavio presents a breakdown and analysis of the law enforcement software segments based on deployment.
“An increase in the use of mobile applications is an ongoing trend in the market. Mobile law enforcement applications are designed to improve communication between citizens and officers, keep detailed shift logs, record speed levels, and display live traffic updates among other uses. They are portable, easy to use, and support features such as report creation, accident investigation, new ways to communicate directly with citizens, and getting updated information instantly,” says Amrita Choudhury, Lead Analyst, ICT, Technavio Research.
During 2015, the cloud-based law enforcement software segment dominated the global market by accounting for more than 35% of the overall market share. Software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions come with regular payments instead of a significant one-time investment and periodic expenses for maintenance and updates. Such cloud-based solutions offer benefits such as predictable expense, low or no maintenance fee, low IT personnel costs, and free upgrades that are included in the subscription or support fees. Many law enforcement software vendors have started delivering SaaS solutions to leverage the growing adoption of cloud-based systems. For instance, STARLIMS provides cloud-based law enforcement software in private and public environments.
The key vendors in the market include Abbott Informatics, DFLabs, IntelliChoice, Spillman Technologies, and Wynyard. Owing to the presence of several small and medium sized vendors, this market is highly fragmented. To expand their reach and establish a global presence, the large vendors have started following M&A strategies to acquire advanced technologies. Several new players enter the market, and large-scale vendors are looking at opportunities to increase their market presence, which in turn will lead to more acquisitions during the forecast period.
