Electronic access control refers to the governance and monitoring of visitors into and within the premises. These systems make use of electronic components as opposed to the traditional mechanical locks in order to offer enhanced convenience and personnel security. Electronic access control system comprises numerous components including electronic locks, access devices and cards, readers, control panels, access control management software and access control servers. Authorized personnel can make use of their access devices or cards at the readers to gain access into a physical location. The readers validate the card and send this information across to the control panel for the decision making process. Based on the rules set through the access control management software, the control panel responds with the appropriate action as to allow the user and deny entrance. Every successful and unsuccessful access transaction is stored in the access control server for record maintenance and further analysis for optimization. Depending on the requirement and expanse of the physical site, end-users can deploy large access control systems with multiple readers and access devices thereby, monitoring and controlling access to various physical locations within the premises. Furthermore, end-users can customize their access control solutions by deploying various types of access modes depending on the level of security to be enforced. End-users can choose from a wide array of access modes including access cards, biometrics, and access codes, among others. With technological advancements in smartphone technologies and sensors, access control providers have been engaged in design and development of innovative access control solutions using NFC and sensors for gesture recognition. Thereby, the overall electronic access control market has been witnessing an increasing demand for add-on technologies and capabilities.

Access control systems have become pivotal for various institutions and organization all across the world due to rising threats of physical attacks and data thefts. Organizations from various end-use industries including residential, banking and finance, commercial, government, healthcare, education, manufacturing and industrial, retail, utilities and energy, among others seek to deploy enhanced access control solutions in order to ensure effective physical and data security.

One of the major factors driving the growth of the electronic access control market is the increasing need to secure various locations such as data centers and server rooms within organizations. It has become imperative for organizations to protect such sites against malicious attacks to ensure data security and business continuity. In addition, increasing complexity within organizations with respect to the workforce clearance and authorization has led to growing popularity of electronic access control systems across the world. Other factors such as ease of access control management and rise of access control as a service (ACaaS) have led to the higher adoption of access control solutions in the recent years. However, lack of technological awareness and costs associated with the systems have hampered the growth of the electronic access control market in some of the emerging markets across the world.
