according to global analysts Frost
& Sullivan.
Commercial Security was the
biggest section at Intersec with
624 exhibitors. Axis Communica-
tions was among those revealing
its new 4k video surveillance sys-
tems. Marwan Khoury, Marketing
Manager for the Middle East and
Africa at Axis Communications,
said: "The adoption rate in the
GCC is one of the highest in the
world when it comes to IP tech-
nology. This is why we often use
Intersec to release new products,
as it's a very demanding market."
13 country pavilions
Intersec included 13 country pa-
vilions from Germany, UK, USA,
Canada, China, Hong Kong,
India, Italy, Korea, Pakistan, Sin-
gapore, Taiwan, and the UAE.
Featuring for the first time at
Intersec was the General Police
Equipment Exhibition & Confer-
ence (GPEC) Pavilion adding
weight to the Homeland Security
& Policing section.
The Dubai SME Pavilion was
back, putting the spotlight on
locally-owned and operated small
businesses. A conference pro-
gramme with more than 40 ses-
sions covered fire safety, commer-
cial security, occupational safety,
and safety in design buildings
The next Intersec will take
place from 17-19 January 2016. n
The 17th edition of
Intersec took place at the
Dubai International Convention
and Exhibition Centre from 18-20
January 2015 and was larger than
ever before. There were 1,233
exhibitors from 52 countries, show-
casing more than 2,000 brands.
Ahmed Pauwels, CEO of
Messe Frankfurt Middle East,
organiser of Intersec, said: "The
big shift this year is twofold; more
visitors are now end-users across
a variety of industries, which in-
dicates they are increasingly more
involved in the decision-making
process when it comes to purchas-
ing security-related products and
services. This is reflected in the
amount of deals that are actually
being made during the show, and
the feedback we are receiving from
exhibitors is that business has been
very good as a result."
Excellent market
opportunities
While the global security market
continues to grow by 5.5 per cent
annually, demand in the Middle
East is estimated to double that,
as regional governments spend
heavily on surveillance systems to
protect against threats of crime,
smuggling and illegal immigra-
tion.
This is expected to push up
the sales of network surveillance
systems by 89 per cent by 2016
Intersec dubai 2015 broke all previous attendance
records by attracting some 27,455 visitors from more
than 120 countries this represents a 10 per cent
increase on last year's numbers.
