This is a best prospect industry sector for this country. Includes a market overview and trade data.
Overview
Globalization, environmental developments, global terrorism, organized crime, and the digitization of both private and public sectors are driving growth in Estonia’s economy, raising both opportunities and threats to safety and security. Estonia faces the same threat of international terrorism and organized crime as other European countries due to its participation in the Schengen area, though its border with Russia increases its vulnerability. The total size of the Estonian safety and security market is about €188 million. Annual sales of security technology are about €92 million and security services account for about €90 million in sales annually. There is growing demand for U.S. made equipment used in access control, contraband detection, surveillance, and law enforcement.
