Global physical security software leader Genetec Inc. is consolidating its position in the access control software market, as revealed in the 2025 Access Control Report by Omdia, a leading research firm. Despite a market characterized by numerous mergers and acquisitions, Genetec has distinguished itself by achieving the highest organic global market share increase in on-premises access control software, maintaining its second-place rank globally.
Partnering with Genetec offers customers the benefit of working with a company that prioritizes product innovation and steady growth, providing them with the confidence to make long-term strategic plans without concerns about frequent portfolio consolidations.
Rapid Growth in Security Center SaaS
The Omdia report highlights Genetec as one of the fastest organically growing vendors in the Access Control as a Service (ACaaS) segment within the Americas, which accounts for over 70% of the global market. The company’s significant growth is driven by the swift adoption of Security Center SaaS, an open and unified cloud-based physical security platform introduced by Genetec in 2017. With years of experience, Genetec is proficient in guiding organizations as they transition to cloud-based access control systems at a preferred pace.
Expanding Market Influence
In terms of market share in the access control software sector, Genetec holds onto its #2 position in the Americas, makes strides in EMEA, and retains a top 10 spot in the Asia Pacific region, where it continues to achieve the highest organic growth rate. Bryan Montany, Omdia’s Principal Research Analyst, remarks, "The access control software market has been the fastest growing global driver of access control equipment sales over the past decade as the industry has become more software-centric. Cloud-based solutions have emerged as a significant growth driver due to their scalability and enhanced data processing capabilities."

Leadership in Video Surveillance
Beyond access control, Genetec has also reaffirmed its leadership in video surveillance. The recent Omdia 2025 Video Surveillance & Analytics Report has ranked Genetec #1 globally in video surveillance software, as well as in the broader category comprising video surveillance software and Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS). Christian Morin, Vice President of Product Engineering and Chief Security Officer at Genetec Inc., stated, "For more than 25 years, our development strategy has focused on anticipating customer needs and delivering practical innovations. The consistent year-over-year growth noted by analysts in the access control and VMS markets is a testament to our long-standing commitment to open, unified systems, robust cybersecurity, and privacy by design."
According to the newly released 2025 Access Control Report from global research firm Omdia, Genetec Inc., the pioneer in enterprise physical security software, continues to expand its share of the global access control software market, maintaining its #2 position worldwide.
In an industry shaped by mergers and acquisitions, the report shows that Genetec achieved the highest organic global market share gain in on-premises access control software.
