Personal and home security
Article Abstract:
The United Kingdom retail market for home security products increased 30% to 394 million pounds sterling in 1995 from 302 million pounds sterling in 1991, equivalent to 20% real term growth. Home security and personal security products are primarily bought because of consumers' fear of crime, with violent crime becoming increasingly prevalent in the UK. The intruder alarm market has grown about 7% per year on average since 1991, to 207 million pounds sterling in 1995, while sales of locks grew 31% to 102 million pounds sterling. Sales of fire detection/protection products grew to 85 million pounds sterling in 1995.
