Business of SIS can be analysed into 3 key verticals:
India Security Services Vertical:
According to projections, the security solutions market in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14%, and reach a market value of US$ 21 billion by 2024. SIS is placing increased emphasis on technology, which has become a critical component in the ramp-up of security solutions investments by customers.
Despite this growth potential, the Indian security solutions market is still dominated by unorganized players, controlling over 65% of the market. However, the trend is expected to change significantly in the foreseeable future, as brand preference for organized players increases. Although SIS is the largest security solutions provider in India, its current market share is in the single digits, indicating significant headroom for growth.
