Home Security Industry Booming
Due to the economic recession starting in 2008 and correlated housing slump the Home Alarm Monitoring industry has been in somewhat of an unique position. During this slump the alarm industry has seen a steep decrease in business due to the slowdown in home sales.
In general the security industry has been booming from the late 1990’s when new home builders started pre wiring many homes for home security systems. Many homeowners were moving into homes that had fully functional alarm systems that only needed an alarm installer to come in to program and monitor the alarm system.
This turn key solution created an easy and cost effective option for many consumers who had previously not had a home security system. Since the housing slowdown many alarm companies that were targeting these customers have struggled and some have even gone out of business.
The odd position that many security companies found themselves in due to the economic slowdown was while housing market was shutting down both business and home burglaries were on the rise. Many security companies who made it past the initial slow down of the housing market started picking up a whole new segment of customers. Due to the rise in home burglaries, many people who previously never saw the need for a monitored alarm system started contacting Alarm Companies to set up new service.
Today the Security Alarm industry is poised to make a powerful resurgence as now a larger segment of the population has become aware of the need and cost effectiveness of having a monitored home security system. This coupled with the fact that the housing industry is now heading towards recovery and many believe that this next quarter several US cities will see a bit of a housing boom puts home security alarm companies in a very good position.
