The combination of our expertise and knowledge of Identicom alongside our partners' awareness and experience of their home markets is an excellent match that has the potential to grow rapidly and establish Identicom as a world leader in lone worker protection".
The global market value of the security industry grew to an estimated €110 billion in 2009. The long-term annual growth rate is estimated to between 7 and 9 percent globally, and between 6 and 8 percent in Europe and the US. The lone worker market is anticipated to grow in the medium and long term driven by stringent employee health and safety regulations.
