Electronic Security Market Overview
The electronic security sector market in Argentina was valued at approximately $1.25 billion in 2008, making it a relatively large and growing sector for U.S. firms. Argentina is a fast-growing market for electronic security-related products, equipment, and services and is heavily reliant on imported products. The hi-tech security equipment market presents more opportunities for U.S. companies. The niche sale opportunity for U.S. exporters is in CCTV and access control equipment on IP networks.
