The Global Public Safety and Security Market to expand from USD 573.64 Billion in 2025 to USD 1020.68 Billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 10.08%. The Global Public Safety and Security Market comprises integrated technologies and services such as emergency communication networks, biometric authentication, and surveillance infrastructure aimed at protecting citizens and critical assets. The primary factors driving this growth include rapid urbanization, which demands advanced monitoring in densely populated regions, and increasing geopolitical instability, which forces governments to upgrade their national security frameworks to address diverse threats.

However, the growth of interconnected safety systems brings significant challenges related to data privacy and the rise of complex cyber threats. As digital ecosystems widen, the risk of fraud and security breaches grows, necessitating costly countermeasures that can burden public budgets. Citing GSMA data from 2025, approximately 5.8 billion mobile subscribers are vulnerable to scams due to the rapid spread of digital technologies. This intensifying threat landscape complicates the rollout of security solutions, compelling agencies to carefully balance operational efficiency with strict data protection standards.
Market Driver
Increasing government investment in modernizing homeland security serves as a major catalyst for the Global Public Safety and Security Market. As national security challenges and transnational threats become more complex, nations must update legacy infrastructures with integrated defense technologies. For instance, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security requested $62.2 billion in net discretionary funding in its March 2024 'FY 2025 Budget in Brief' to strengthen border security and mission support. This financial commitment enables the widespread procurement of next-generation surveillance systems, biometric tools, and emergency response platforms, driving market expansion as agencies enhance their readiness against physical dangers.
Simultaneously, the surge in cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure is accelerating the integration of AI and IoT within public safety ecosystems. Traditional manual monitoring is no longer sufficient to manage the volume and speed of modern digital attacks, making automated, algorithmic defenses essential. According to Microsoft's 'Digital Defense Report 2024' released in October 2024, customers now face over 600 million daily attacks from cybercriminals and nation-states. To counter these risks, stakeholders are deploying AI-driven analytics for real-time anomaly detection, a necessity highlighted by Allianz in 2024, where 36% of respondents identified cyber incidents as the top global business risk.
Market Challenge
The rise of complex cyber threats and data privacy concerns presents a major obstacle to the Global Public Safety and Security Market's growth. As government agencies adopt advanced digital ecosystems to monitor assets, they inadvertently increase the attack surface available to malicious actors. This vulnerability leads to a cautious approach toward technology adoption, where the purchase of surveillance and communication networks is often delayed by strict compliance reviews. The fear of data breaches and the potential loss of public trust force decision-makers to prioritize risk mitigation over the quick deployment of new solutions, slowing market momentum.
Additionally, the operational burden of fighting these sophisticated risks drains financial resources that could otherwise support technological upgrades. Public sector budgets are increasingly consumed by defensive measures rather than innovation. This difficult environment is reflected in industry sentiment; according to ISC2 in 2024, 74 percent of cybersecurity professionals described the current threat landscape as the most challenging in five years. This intensity compels agencies to focus on hardening existing infrastructure, thereby limiting their capacity to invest in market-expanding technologies.
Market Trends
The shift toward 5G technology for mission-critical real-time communications is reshaping public safety operations by providing high-bandwidth data transmission that older Land Mobile Radio systems cannot support. Agencies are moving to these resilient cellular networks to enable the instant sharing of high-definition video, biometric data, and augmented reality feeds with officers in the field. This transition ensures seamless connectivity during emergencies where situational awareness is essential. According to Verizon Frontline's '2025 Public Safety Communications Survey' from September 2025, 25 percent of first responders now consider 5G service a top priority, valuing it over traditional tools for reliable access to digital applications.
Concurrently, the use of autonomous drones for aerial surveillance and search operations has become a transformative tool for law enforcement and emergency response. These unmanned systems are increasingly used in Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs, deploying immediately to scenes to provide live overhead views before ground personnel arrive. This capability improves officer safety and efficiency by delivering real-time intelligence on hazards and suspect movements. As noted in Versaterm's '2025 Public Safety Trends Survey' from October 2025, 61 percent of police leaders plan to increase their drone budgets in the coming year, highlighting the rapid integration of aerial robotics into policing strategies.
