The United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) has become a leader in the GCC region’s safety and defense efforts, playing a vital role in the security infrastructure surrounding the global war on terror. The country’s Safety and Security sector continues to be propelled by a growing and diverse array of initiatives including the launch of its civilian nuclear energy program, the scaling up of hydrocarbon extraction activities, the ongoing rollout of mega-projects such as the Midfield Terminal Complex at Abu Dhabi International Airport, and high profile events such as the Dubai Expo.
The U.A.E.’s intensified focus on security is reflected in its spending and legislation. Ongoing economic growth, bolstered by continued activity in the commercial, shipping, property, financial and tourist sectors, means U.A.E. Safety and Security budgets should continue to be robust. The country is expected to nearly double homeland security spending over the next decade, from $5.5 billion to more than $10 billion. And, new U.A.E. legislation has either been passed or is under consideration to strengthen the U.A.E.’s ability to protect critical infrastructure including nuclear power plants, oil and gas production facilities, water treatment and electricity facilities, and cyber security.
In general terms, the Safety and Security sector in the U.A.E. can be classified under five segments: Commercial Security & Information Cybersecurity; Aviation Security; Homeland Security & Policing; Fire & Rescue; and Safety & Health.
Demand for various security products, especially closed circuit television sets (CCTV), surveillance cameras, and perimeter control and access control systems has increased sharply in the U.A.E., with the hospitality sector leading that demand. However, despite this demand and the continued importance of the Safety and Security sector, the U.A.E. has only minimal local capacity for security-related production.
