Genetec Inc. is reinforcing its presence in the global access control software market, securing its position as the second leading company worldwide, as reported by the 2025 Access Control Report from Omdia, a noted global research firm. Amid a landscape marked by mergers and acquisitions, Genetec has emerged as the leader in organic market share growth for on-premises access control software, underscoring its commitment to innovation and stable growth, which appeals to customers seeking long-term planning stability.
Security Centre SaaS Adoption Propels Growth
The Omdia report highlights that Genetec is among the fastest-growing vendors in the Access Control as a Service (ACaaS) sector within the Americas, a market that accounts for over 70% of the global share. This traction is largely attributed to the swift adoption of the Security Center SaaS, Genetec’s integrated physical security cloud platform. Since 2017, Genetec has been at the forefront of delivering ACaaS solutions, providing organisations with the flexibility to transition to cloud-based access control at their own pace.
Regional Market Performance
Genetec continues to hold the second position in the Americas in terms of market share for access control software, while making significant advances in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). Furthermore, in the Asia Pacific region, the company maintains its status within the top 10 providers, bolstered by achieving the region’s highest organic growth rate. Bryan Montany, Principal Research Analyst for Physical Security at Omdia, noted that, “The access control software market has been the fastest growing global driver of access control equipment sales over the past decade as the industry has become more software-centric.”
Open, Unified Access Control Solutions
Genetec’s solutions are designed to provide flexibility, allowing clients to implement systems entirely on-premises, in the cloud, or through a hybrid approach. Its open architecture policy negates vendor lock-in, granting customers the advantage of selecting hardware and third-party integrations that best cater to their needs. The Genetec Security Center, including Security Center SaaS, unifies access control with video surveillance, intrusion detection, communication, and other systems into a single interface, enhancing situational awareness and operational efficiency.
Leadership in Video Surveillance and Analytics
Complementing its access control achievements, the Omdia 2025 Video Surveillance & Analytics Report confirms Genetec as the top global contender in video surveillance software, as well as in the combined field that includes Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS). Christian Morin, Vice President of Product Engineering and Chief Security Officer at Genetec Inc., remarked, “For more than 25 years, our development strategy has focused on anticipating customer needs and delivering practical innovations. The consistent year-over-year growth noted by analysts in the access control and VMS markets is a testament to our long-standing commitment to open, unified systems, robust cybersecurity, and privacy by design.”
According to the newly released 2025 Access Control Report from global research firm Omdia, Genetec Inc., the pioneer in enterprise physical security software, continues to expand its share of the global access control software market, maintaining its #2 position worldwide.
In an industry shaped by mergers and acquisitions, the report shows that Genetec achieved the highest organic global market share gain in on-premises access control software. For customers, partnering with a company focused on product innovation and stable growth rather than portfolio consolidation means they can plan long-term with confidence.
Rapid adoption of Security Centre SaaS
Genetec ranked as one of the fastest organically growing vendors in the ACaaS segment in the Americas region
According to the Omdia report, Genetec also ranked as one of the fastest organically growing vendors in the Access Control as a Service (ACaaS) segment in the Americas region, which represents more than 70% of the global market.
This growth was propelled by the rapid adoption of Security Centre SaaS, the company’s open, unified physical security cloud-based platform.
Genetec has delivered ACaaS solutions since 2017, demonstrating its long-standing experience in helping organisations adopt cloud-based access control at their own pace.
Access control software market
Genetec retained its #2 position in the Americas for access control software market share, gained ground in EMEA, and remained among the top 10 providers in Asia Pacific, where it once again recorded the region’s highest rate of organic growth.
According to Bryan Montany, Principal Research Analyst, Physical Security at Omdia, “The access control software market has been the fastest growing global driver of access control equipment sales over the past decade as the industry has become more software-centric."
"Cloud-based solutions have emerged as a significant growth driver due to their scalability and their enhanced data processing capabilities. The strong organic growth achieved by Genetec demonstrates the appeal of its flexible deployment options, broad interoperability with third-party hardware, and unified security systems platform.”

Genetec eliminates vendor lock-in and lets customers choose the hardware and third-party integrations
Genetec access control solutions scale seamlessly from a single site to global deployments and give organisations the flexibility to run fully on-premises, in the cloud, or to deploy with a mix of both.
Built on an open architecture, Genetec eliminates vendor lock-in and lets customers choose the hardware and third-party integrations that best meet their needs.

2025 Video Surveillance & Analytics Report
In addition to its 2025 access control report, Omdia recently released its 2025 Video Surveillance & Analytics Report, which showed that Genetec retained its #1 position worldwide in video surveillance software, and is also ranked #1 globally in the broader category that combines video surveillance software and Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS).
“For more than 25 years, our development strategy has focused on anticipating customer needs and delivering practical innovations."
