An access control reader is one of the major components of the access control system that is installed near the entry and exit of the premises. An access control reader is used in physical security systems to scan the credentials that authorize the entrance of a person through access control points. In recent years, the market for access control readers in India has witnessed strong growth due to its increasing adoption of security devices across both government and private sectors.

One of the major factors driving the demand for access control readers is their increasing popularity in commercial spaces to record or monitor employee activities and curbing asset thefts. Moreover, several infrastructural facilities, such as data centers, banks, financial centers, hotels, and shopping malls, are increasingly adopting access control technologies to control unauthorized access and data breaches. Furthermore, the increasing threat of terrorism and criminal activities have augmented the installations of premium and enhanced security systems in government and private organizations. Apart from this, access control readers significantly reduce the need for manned surveillance, thereby reducing security expenditures. Some of the other factors fueling the growth of the Indian access control readers market include improved security identity management, rapid urbanization, growing industrialization, the introduction of contactless smart cards, and growing trends of smart homes, among several others.
