Impact of access control on mechanical locking devices

摘要

The increased popularity of electronic access control systems is contributing to the market growth of electric strikes and electromagnetic locks, each of which is forecast to outperform mechanical locks through 2017. IHS expects from 2012 to 2017, global revenues for electromagnetic locks and electric strikes will grow at compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) of 6.9% and 7.8%, respectively. In comparison, mechanical locks are projected to experience a weaker CAGR of 4.5% in the same time frame.
