Market Dynamics

Key Market Drivers

Emerging economies expansion of banking and financial institutions

In recent decades, the global banking sector has undergone significant changes due to the deregulation of financial services and technological advancements. Banking was traditionally a highly protected industry in emerging economies, with regulated deposits and strict entry requirements for domestic and foreign investors. However, with the rise of macroeconomic pressures and technological innovations in the banking industry, regional players have been forced to open up their markets to foreign competition.

The BRICS nations, including Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, are expected to receive substantial foreign direct investment (FDI). This expansion of the BFSI sector in emerging economies is driven by several factors, such as a growing skilled labor force, increasing globalization, and a rise in the number of young consumers.

Key Market Challenges

Increasing usage of payments from mobile

Technological advancements such as NFC, EMV chips, and other contactless devices are transforming the payment process. This shift presents a substantial opportunity for mobile commerce due to the availability of improved data and payment infrastructure. With a growing consumer base, online mobile commerce is gaining popularity.

The emergence of mobile wallets, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, is expected to drive the market for mobile payments. To attract new users, point-of-sale systems that accept mobile payments and incentives such as loyalty programs and promotions are being widely adopted. 

Consequently, people are increasingly turning away from cash payments in favor of digital ones. However, this trend is expected to restrain market growth over the forecast period.

Key Market Opportunities

Increasing cash-in-transit heists as well as theft of freight

Global logistics thefts and heists have been on a steady rise over the past decade. For example, South Africa has experienced at least one Cash-In-Transit (CIT) heist until February 2020, with 35 such heists reported nationwide, and 21 in Gauteng alone. Cities like Cape Town and Boksburg are witnessing a surge in on-road robberies, causing a rise in theft-related concerns for customers from various industries, such as banking, retail, and precious metals, while traveling. 

Despite conducting their logistics operations, these companies are experiencing losses due to theft, often because of inadequate security personnel and outdated technology. Thus, there is a growing demand for reliable logistics services to address these security issues. Secure logistics firms offer a range of outsourcing services, including armored vehicles, cross-border transport, staffed security, ATM management, secure storage, cash-in-transit, and replenishment, among others. 

Therefore, businesses are increasingly focusing on secure logistics services to minimize the risks of theft and other security breaches during the transportation and handling of goods and assets.

Type Insights

The global market has been categorized into two types: static and mobile. In 2024, the static type segment recorded the highest market share and is expected to continue dominating the market throughout the forecast period.

Many players offer guarding services in the market and provide specialized logistics security solutions aimed at preventing theft, reducing shipment loss and damage, and exposing security breaches.

Secure Logistics Market Share, By Type, 2024 (%)

Meanwhile, the mobile type segment is expected to register the fastest growth rate during the forecast period, primarily due to the increasing advancements in secure journey management services. Service providers offer vehicles equipped with electronic countermeasures, radio, and satellite communication systems. Financial institutions primarily use electronic safes to reduce management downtime, and service providers partner with several safe manufacturers to provide a wide range of electronic safe services of various sizes.

Application Insights

The cash management segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the increasing penetration of ATMs in emerging countries. The cash management segment comprises cash-in-transit, cash processing, and ATM services.

Cash-in-transit involves the collection of money from banks and delivering it to designated cash points like ATMs, utilizing armored trucks that reduce risks and enhance security by reducing opportunities for theft. Service providers offer Automated Teller Machine (ATM) services alongside traditional cash-in-transit services, which are governed by regional, national, and local legislation, with the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Interior, and the Police being responsible authorities in the industry. 

Market players focus on developing innovative and efficient goods, forming alliances, and entering into collaborations and partnerships to gain a competitive advantage. For instance, to hasten the shift to a sustainable model, Prosegur and Forética, a Spanish group in corporate social responsibility and sustainability, established an alliance in 2022.

The security of road transport for sensitive and high-value items is enhanced by increasing investments in advanced surveillance systems, armored trucks, and others.

On the other hand, the airways segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the studied period. The segment’s growth is primarily attributed to the rising globalization and increasing requirement for expensive goods to be shipped rapidly and safely. The Airways segment offers high efficiency and speed, one of the vital modes of transportation for various industries such as pharmaceuticals, banking, fresh food, and others that require cold chain technology to control temperatures throughout the supply chain. Moreover, the stringent security requirements of air cargo, secure logistics providers invest in state-of-the-art screening technologies, secure cargo facilities, and compliance with international standards for air transport security. Therefore, rapid ongoing advancements in aviation security significantly increase the need for swift and safe transportation solutions.
