This is the third post of the series, where I attempt to
make a general overview of the subject Russian market. It is impossible within
the Blog to describe market in detail; however, I am trying to make some
sketches – as we see it through ERVIST PRISM. Information is derived
from open sources, it is cross-referenced; I am also providing some useful
links.
BURGLAR AND FIRE
ALARM SYSTEMS
Major end-users:
retail and financial institutions, transportation, oil & gas production and industrial facilities, residential property and small to
medium businesses
Market volume:
In 2011 was approximately $476 million
Projected CAGR:
12-15%
Remarks: There is
a requirement for mandatory government certification. The government has
implemented administrative and criminal responsibility for violating fire
safety rules, and all buildings shall comply with fire safety requirements. Verticals,
such as oil, gas, mining and transportation, have gained increased traction in
fire protection systems market, while other verticals such as government,
healthcare, manufacturing, academia, and institutional are gearing up.
“Security Systems” publication lists
the following:
This market has a great potential in enhanced human
machine interface solutions, smart building, seamless intelligent building
applications, and wireless sensory networks. Intelligent sensors have networking
capabilities, wherein a group of sensors and detectors can communicate easily
through control units, leading to more efficiency in the systems. In my previous
posts I provided some fire and fire
risks statistics in Russia – and the level remains basically the same over
the last three years. According market research, new advanced sensors have been
developed – that provide accurate data to control units, as well as intelligent
sensors that have networking capabilities. Remote users can access these
intelligent sensors by connecting through LAN/WAN and Wi-Fi networks. However,
for Russia, introduction of new high tech sensors is traditionally complex
issue – due to rather awkward existing Government certification system.
One of the most optimistic factor for development of Burglar
and Fire Alarm Systems in Russia is the enterprise market. Starting in 2006 the
Government ceased the State regulation of Fire Security in Russia. The Government
bodies stopped participation in acceptance tests of new sites and installations
– the State Fire-Fighting Service was assigned to critical to national security
installations. That, in fact, means that most of Russian businesses are responsible
for their Fire Protection. Of course, this drastically changes the market and
poses new challenges. There is a substantial increase of investments into
end-user education both by major players and by medium–sized companies in the market.
Almost every week throughout Russia, many training classes and seminars are taking
place. This, naturally, to a greater level increases end-user awareness.
Industry players and homeowners are ever more interested in integrated
solutions. I am planning to have a more detailed post that will discuss industrial
fire security, but here I would like to provide this picture of the Russian
market, and the way Evrist Group addresses it.
An interesting development in Russia is in Fire Mapping
and Analytics. Some time in the future I will analyze what is going on - there are
good descriptions of existing systems in these sources:
- Russian System of Remote Monitoring of Forest Fires
- Monitoring of Fire Environment & Projects of Emergencies
Here I would like to address the reader to a source that
provides The Fire Information for
Resource Management System (FIRMS) real-time map of fires in Russia:
