Access Control Industry Overview
The access control market is highly competitive and comprised of both global and regional players striving for a larger share in a fiercely contested space. Despite the high barriers to entry, several new entrants have successfully made a mark in the market. Some of the notable players in the industry include Suprema Inc., Hanwha Vision (formerly known as Hanwha Techwin Co. Ltd), Thales Group (Gemalto NV), Bosch Security System Inc., Honeywell International Inc., and others.
In March 2023, Hanwha Techwin was rebranded as Hanwha Vision, signaling the start of the company's journey to become a global vision solution provider.

In October 2022, ASSA ABLOY AB completed the acquisition of ALCEA, a French-based access control solutions provider. ALCEA will be integrated into ASSA ABLOY's Critical Infrastructure business portfolio, enabling the company to enhance its presence in critical infrastructure protection environments and expand its product access-centered product portfolio. This acquisition is in line with the company's strategic vision to strengthen its position in the access control market.
