Some of the leading sub-sectors include: video surveillance systems, fire and rescue systems, drone technology. 

Home security systems, like CCTV, are on the rise and are expected to surge by 14.9% from 2021 to 2028. This type of technology is in-demand from Spanish consumers. In fact, it is predicted that there will be 1.8 million users by 2026.

In Spain, over 70% of the population use the internet every day. This means that millions of people need a cyber security system. The healthcare industry is particularly vulnerable to a cyber-attack and could benefit from your company’s services and advice.
