Aircraft fire protection market to
grow to 1,1571.7 million USD by 2022
Mass-notification system (MNS) software used in
emergency communication, the primary segment
used during a catastrophic event, is expected to grow
in the Americas at a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 6.8 percent from 2017 to 2021, reaching
$293.1 million in 2021.
Northbrook, Il (USA)
London, UK
According to a new research report
on the aircraft fire protection
systems market from Marketsand-
markets this sector is projected
to grow from an estimated USD
911.6 million in 2017 to USD
1,157.7 million by 2022, at
a CAGR of 4.90% between
2017and 2022.
Increasing demand for aircraft,
modernisation of the existing air-
craft, and the replacement of old
aircraft with new aircraft which
are more fuel efficient and lighter
in weight are the few major factors
driving the aircraft fire protection
systems market.
According to the latest insight
from Robert Brooks, analyst,
security and building technologies
at IHS Markit, due to heightened
terrorist activity in Europe, and
with US-based multinational com-
panies moving to Western Europe,
the MNS software emergency
communication market in EMEA
is expected to grow at a CAGR of
11.4 percent from 2017 to 2021,
reaching $41.6 million in 2021.
Less need for MNS
software in europe
In the Americas, hurricanes,
tornadoes and earthquakes are
occurring more frequently, so
unimpeded mass communication
during these events is critical.
MNS software is often employed
so companies can communicate
with their employees, federal
agencies, university students and
the general public. More channels
of communication available in
these types of events, means more
people can reach safety faster and
more lives can be saved.
In Western Europe, the
second-largest market for MNS
software, weather-related incidents
occur less often, so the need for
MNS software is lower than in
the Americas. While individual
countries might deal with specific
weather threats like blizzards and
freezes in Sweden and flooding
in the UK in 2017 the United
States alone experienced four
major hurricanes.
New US standard will boost
MNS software sales
The Federal Risk and Authori-
zation Management Program
(FedRAMP) is a US government
programme providing a new
standardised approach to security
assessment, authorisation and
continuous monitoring for cloud
products and services. The IHS
Markit research suggests that while
this certification is not mandated
by law, it will certainly affect how
software-as-a-service (SaaS) and
cloud vendors perform business
with federal government agen-
cies -- increasing MNS software
sales by the federal government,
because nearly all vendors in this
industry will switch to cloud-based
solutions.
Once a company is certified by
FedRAMP, additional measures to
buy or maintain vendors' solutions
is required. This cost savings will
appeal to many government agen-
cies as they look at the total cost to
own a system.
Local laws influence the
local european markets
Western European governments
will continue to use on-premises
or hybrid solutions, because they
are constrained by local laws and
regulations surrounding the use of
personal information and privacy.
A majority of cloud-based MNS
software market leaders are located
in the US, which creates addition-
al lag time for cloud systems to be
purchased in European countries.
User-friendly
interfaces needed
There is an obvious and growing
need for more user-friendly system
interfaces. For example, during a
regulated standard test of Hawaii's
emergency missile warning system
in January 2018, an employee
selected the option to send out a
full missile-defense alert, instead
of choosing the test-cycle option.
While this is a dramatic exam-
ple of human error, there is a
continuing need to improve the
user interfaces of these systems to
avoid unnecessary public panic in
the future.
Terrorism increases the
demand for MSN Software
Increasing acts of terrorism across
Western Europe and North
Africa over the past two years
have forced central governments
to investigate new and innovative
ways to keep the general public
safe. While most investment
goes toward security cameras,
access control, security doors and
tough perimeter security, some
governments will also choose to
buy MNS software to facilitate
communication between first
responders and security teams.
Privacy issues
differ in europe
Privacy issues also need to be ad-
dressed on a country-by-country
basis, including the location of
servers hosting cloud-based plat-
forms. In Germany for example,
MNS software providers must
comply with the "German work
first" rule. This rule was imple-
mented by the German govern-
ment, because it did not want any
German citizen's information to
be contained outside the country.
Each country in the European
market has different rules about
hosted systems, which adds
another layer of complexity to
selling cloud-based systems in
Europe.
