About this industry
Industry definition
Die privaten Wach- und Sicherheitsdienste konnten in den vergangenen fünf Jahren nur ein geringfügiges Umsatzwachstum verzeichnen. Im Durchschnitt ergibt sich für den Zeitraum von 2019 bis 2024 ein jährlicher Umsatzzuwachs von 3 %. Im Jahr 2020 war dagegen wegen der Coronavirus-Krise ein starkes Umsatzwachstum zu beobachten. Während der Pandemie stieg in mehreren Bereichen der Bedarf an Sicherheitsdienstleistungen erheblich an, so setzten etwa Lebensmitteleinzelhändler zunächst auf Schutzpersonal und Krankenhäuser ebenso wie Bankfilialen engagierten Sicherheitsdienste zur Einhaltung der Infektionsschutzregelungen. Andere Märkte der Branche wie Flughäfen sowie Messe- und Eventveranstalter brachen allerdings aufgrund der zur Eindämmung der Pandemie verhängten Restriktionen weg. 2024 dürften die Märkte der Branche insgesamt solide wachsen. In der Folge wird der Branchenumsatz um voraussichtlich 1,8 % im Vergleich zum Vorjahr auf 11,9 Milliarden Euro steigen.
