On the Adjustment and Upgrading of China's Security Industry Structure

This article analyzes the characteristics and status quo of China's security industry structure, and puts forward the objectives of adjusting China's security industry structure, as well as the ways to realize it and the measurement standards.

【Keywords】 security industry, industrial structure, adjustment and upgrade

The industrial structure refers to the composition of an industry and the relationship and proportional relationship between the industry and other industries in the national economy. The equilibrium of the industrial structure is the support for the stable development of the industry.

Security industry structure contains two aspects. The meaning of the first level refers to the structure and proportion of the security industry in the entire national economy, that is, the proportion of the security industry in the entire national economy. Studying the meaning of this security industrial structure helps to understand the actual social needs of the security industry, and whether the resource allocation of the security industry in the national economy is suitable for the needs of social and economic development. In 2010, the output value of China's security industry reached around RMB 230 billion. The GDP of the same period was close to RMB 37 trillion, and the output value of the security industry accounted for about 0.7% of GDP. The proportion is still very small.

Its second level of meaning refers to the internal structure and proportional relationship of the security industry. It refers to the mutual connection and contact between various industries in the security industry and the structure and proportion formed in the mutual contact. A reasonable security industry structure can make full and reasonable use of economic resources, coordinated development between industries and within the industry, and it is conducive to the full play of effectiveness, which is conducive to achieving the best social and economic benefits.

I. Characteristics of China's Security Industry Structure

After several decades of development, China's security industry has gradually formed a complete industrial chain, and formed business types such as physical protection, video surveillance, alarm operation, entrance and exit control, software and system integration, explosion-proof security inspection, and consulting services. Divided from the business form, divided into security manufacturing, security engineering, security services industry; from the technical factors, divided into traditional security and modern security, modern security features electronic information technology.

According to the latest statistics in 2010, at present, there are about 25,000 security companies in China with more than 1.2 million employees. On this basis, in 2009 there is a more detailed data, which to a certain extent reflects the structural status of China's security industry. According to statistics, in 2008 there were more than 10,000 security products manufacturing enterprises in China, with about 400,000 employees; about 12,000 security design, installation, and integration enterprises with a certain scale, about 300,000 employees; security and alarm operation services There are about 3,000 enterprises and about 200,000 employees; there are about 5,000 enterprises in various security distribution, agency, and intermediary service companies, with about 100,000 employees.



After 30 years of development, especially the rapid development in recent years, China's security industry has reached a certain scale and formed a relatively complete industrial chain. In the rapid growth of industrial scale, some structural problems have also been exposed, including the irrationality of product structure, enterprise structure, market structure, economic nature structure, regional structure, and even talent structure, which has become the bottleneck of stable and rapid development of the industry. The specific performance is: many companies, small scale; industrial structure, heavy manufacturing services; lack of advanced manufacturing, lack of core technology; regional development, unbalanced industrial layout, the market is not standardized.

Second, the status of China's security industry structure

As an inter-departmental and multi-disciplinary industry, security started from the processing and import assembly of foreign brands, and the local R&D capability was relatively weak. In recent years, this situation has initially changed.

(I) Lack of investment capacity in the core area of ​​security is a direct impediment to upgrading the industrial structure

Industrial investment requires the support of technical capabilities. The technical capabilities of investment include the ability to select technologies and products, product development and design capabilities, design and manufacturing capabilities of process equipment, supporting capabilities for components and components, and product quality testing capabilities. In the past certain period of time, the investment direction of China’s security was mainly limited to the processing and absorption of foreign products. The reason was that it was constrained by the ability to invest. Anti-theft security doors, safes (boxes), and so on, the reason why investment in these areas can come to the forefront, because investment in these areas will not be subject to significant obstacles in the technical aspects of the production of these products manufacturing machinery, equipment, materials, etc. On the other hand, all of them can meet the support conditions for most of the production. In the security industry developed in the past 30 years, anti-theft door companies are one of the largest manufacturing groups, and it is a realistic best comment.

In the field of electronic security products, a large number of special technical equipment and core components are imported every year in the country. Many investment projects do not form foundations in terms of fixed assets such as technical equipment. Product technology, process equipment, etc. still depend on imports. These workshops, installations, and civil engineering support projects then produce products. Investment has increased, but most of the investment has been used to “buy” equipment, which has solidified the low-level structure of the security industry structure.

(B) The short industrial chain is the essence of the low security industry structure

The short performance of the industry chain is the real bearing of the security industry, reflecting the lack of core parts of the industry. From the external perspective of the security industry, the national economy as a whole still lacks leading industries (such as chip manufacturing) with structural upgrades and driving forces and industrial control. From the perspective of internal industries, there is still a lack of core technologies and core processing links. There are few production processes and the processing chain is short. This shows that the process of technological innovation and the process of production upgrade are divorced from the security industry. In the process of industrialization, production roundaboutness is a sign that the production structure has been upgraded and the growth mode has changed from quantitative to qualitative. Production in turn refers to the fact that the production process of the final product is longer and longer, the processing steps are increased, and the processing methods are more complicated. As a result, new processing departments, new technology systems and processing systems continue to be derived. Core enterprises supported by new technologies, new processes, and new products continue to emerge. New supporting processing companies and related industrial clusters have emerged one after another, and new industrial chains have formed. The added value and technical content of the final product have been improved, and the structural connotation of the industrial system has undergone a revolutionary change. The traditional leading industry has given way to industries with higher processing and technological content.

(3) Insufficient capacity for independent innovation is the ultimate source of low-level industrial structure

The security industry in China is reflected in the integration and application of the latest electronic information technologies. The serialization and close-linked technological innovations carried out along each link of the industry chain are still relatively lacking. Technological innovation is still lacking sufficient investment. The innovation mechanism system The environment is still not perfect, and structural upgrades still lack the support of technological innovation.

In addition, the special properties of the security industry also have a certain impact on the structural adjustment of the security industry. First of all, the security industry is related to the security of the country and society, and its industry has a barrier to entry; secondly, the scale of the security industry is still relatively small; again, cross-sectoral, cross-industry, and cross-ownership. In terms of industry management policies, it is currently limited to the policy co-ordination of individual departments or one or two departments, and it lacks the systemic policies of the country's overall level. For example, security and electronic information industry, security industry and financial industry, the market recognition is not enough, lack of independent promotion policies for the industry. At the enterprise level, China's security system evolved from the planned economy system, and its characteristics of territorial management were obvious.

Third, the goal of adjusting China's security industry structure

China's security industry restructuring needs to achieve three main goals: First, it is necessary to develop advanced security product manufacturing, to overcome barriers in core technologies, and to produce mid- to high-end products with advanced international standards; secondly, to develop modern security service industry; Third, we must establish a modern security industry system that is compatible with the overall national economy.

(I) Strengthen enterprise integration and gradually increase industrial concentration

In the past 10 years or so, China has produced a large number of security companies. These enterprises have annual sales of less than 5 million yuan, more than 80%, and annual sales of less than 1 billion yuan. The “small door and small household” of the enterprise provides enterprises with good opportunities for integration.

In accordance with internationally accepted market standards, a well-regulated market with 20% of companies in the industry should have an 80% market share, and the top 3 of them must have the strength to control market share by more than 50%. In China, whether it is a traditional entity protection product manufacturing enterprise or a modern electronics security enterprise, the market share of the top 10 companies cannot reach this proportion, especially the top 10 enterprises of electronic security companies. Shares occupy no more than 10% of the domestic market. Such a large Chinese security market, if there is no heavyweight company, will inevitably appear fragmented market and fierce competition. To completely solve this problem, China's security companies must take the road of integration, create superior companies and enterprise groups through various means to build leading enterprises through the use of superior and inferior ones, and build new market competition.

(II) Adjusting the internal structure of the security industry and forming an industry development pattern led by advanced manufacturing industries and large-scale alarm service enterprises

After nearly a hundred years of development, international security companies have formed alarming service industries as the leading model. The manufacturing of security products is under the guidance of the service industry, because the service industry is directly market-oriented and market-oriented. . The manufacturing industry with advanced technology, in turn, promotes the development of the service industry and the improvement of efficiency, forming a cycle of mutual promotion.

Taking the developed countries as an example, we can see the basic development trend. The manufacturing industry in South Korea and Japan is relatively high compared to the United States. This is because South Korean and Japanese security companies export a large amount of their products, benefiting from the huge market in China's security industry.



In the development of China's security market, there is a phenomenon that is worth pondering, and it can be reversed to confirm this trend. When the Chinese security market began to take shape, a large number of foreign security companies entered the Chinese market in the form of products; when China began to produce security products, foreign security companies began to deploy service areas; when China’s security companies committed to the traditional security field Foreign companies have already faced a broader range of social personal services; when China expands its traditional security manufacturing industry, foreign companies must also acquire and acquire leading enterprises; in the future, when Chinese security companies turn to the security service industry, they must To compete with international companies in service efficiency and quality.

At present, some domestic large-scale enterprises are changing their strategies to transform themselves into alarm services. This is a good start. In view of this, China's security companies should plan early, vigorously develop advanced manufacturing and large-scale alarm service companies, and seize this key point of end customers. The development of advanced manufacturing industry can improve the overall level and efficiency of the industry, develop leading enterprises for large-scale alarm operation services, facilitate the connection with government agencies, financial insurance and other enterprises, facilitate the organization of market, capital and technical resources, and facilitate the unification of larger regions. Open up the market, unified maintenance operations.

(III) To increase the share of high-tech content in product structure

Whether it is the traditional security industry or the modern security industry, there is a problem of increasing the technical content of products. For modern security companies, their intrusion alarm system, video surveillance system, entrance and exit control system, software platform system, explosion-proof security inspection system, and then deep into the core chip system all require high-tech support. For traditional physical security products, there is also great potential for improving quality, and it needs to be grafted with modern technologies to form a new generation of products. Such as anti-theft security door processing technology, the upgrading of anti-theft door locks, security doors and portrait recognition, fingerprint identification, electronic real-time monitoring, long-distance network monitoring, etc., have a huge market demand. We must use high technology to speed up the transformation of the traditional security industry and increase the quality, efficiency, and competitiveness of the traditional security industry.

To establish a modern security industry system, within the industry, we must be stronger and bigger to reflect the vitality and influence of the industry; externally, we must make clear the social positioning of the security industry, improve the development environment of the industry, and make the security industry and other Like the emerging industries, more enjoy the country's encouragement and promotion policies.

IV. Ways and Measurement Standards for Enhancing China's Security Industry Structure

(1) Technical Innovation is the Basic Way to Improve Security Industry Structure

The development of the security industry is a process in which the internal structure of the security industry constantly changes from an equilibrium state to another equilibrium state, and its equilibrium state is broken by security entrepreneurs through technological innovation. Technological innovation means that security entrepreneurs introduce a new production factor and production conditions into the production system. Technological innovation improves the efficiency of resource allocation and thus promotes the development of the security industry. The security industry should form a more effective technology innovation mechanism as soon as possible to accelerate the pace of technological innovation.

Security technology innovation, industrial development and industrial structure are closely linked. The optimization and upgrading of industrial structure based on technological innovation provides a good material carrier for production development. The contribution of technological innovation to industrial development is indirectly manifested through the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure. Specifically, the promotion of security technology innovation to upgrade the industrial structure is manifested in three aspects: promoting the transformation of traditional industries, promoting the emergence of emerging industries, and promoting the elimination of backward industries. The development of security and traditional industries is accompanied by technological innovations and the development of technologies such as electronic information and new materials. As a result, new and more effective products can gain higher profits in the market and promote the inflow of production factors and internal resources of the industry. The flow will realize the transformation of traditional industries.

Taking China's security video surveillance industry as an example, it has experienced at least four generations of technological progress in the past 30 years. The application of its core technologies and key products has enabled the replacement and upgrading of video surveillance.



Only in the progress of the industry, there are many products and technologies introduced, and the lack of core technologies that reflect independent intellectual property rights. It can be foreseen that the technological revolution marked by electronic information technology, optical technology, and emerging materials technology will lead to the emergence of a series of high-tech products with better performance and higher efficiency, and a new pattern of video surveillance industry structure. The industrial structure is precisely through the constant innovation of technology, realizing the transformation of traditional industries, the rise of emerging industries and the elimination of backward industries to achieve the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure.

To achieve the structural upgrading of our security industry, we have already met the basic conditions. From a static point of view, all links in the security industry chain have corresponding corporate entities. There are a large number of security companies that are committed to the development of innovation; they basically have innovative platforms and facilities, R&D institutions and experimental equipment, and they have a preliminary capacity for innovation. There is a scientific and technical team and the accumulation of scientific research achievements. From a dynamic point of view, a systematic capability of multi-level and multi-field supporting technological innovations has been formed, especially the ability of system integration and software development, and a continuously improving mechanism that meets the requirements of new technological innovation has been formed. Electronic information industry The latest technology can be applied in a timely manner in the security industry. The relatively developed market environment has led to the flow of technical talents and capital to the security industry, providing the basic conditions for realizing the upgrading of the security industry structure.

(B) Measurement of the basic conditions for the restructuring and upgrading of the security industry

Whether the competitive industrial sectors in the security industry have been better developed is the core issue and basic condition. The competitive industry in the security industry is manufacturing. It is an electronic security product in the manufacturing industry. This is a new industry. If this industry achieves better development, it means that industries with more technological content and added value have achieved faster development.

Has the security industry organization been optimized and whether a number of outstanding internationally competitive brand names and outstanding enterprises have emerged? The upgrading of industrial structure is not only a process of structural optimization, but also a process in which security companies change to a more reasonable direction. It will also lead to the optimization and reorganization of enterprises as technology advances.

Whether or not these productive links and departments that provide intermediate value-added services for manufacturing are centered on manufacturing in the middle of the security industry structure have achieved better development.

Has the competitiveness and innovation of the traditional security industry been further stimulated?

Whether the labor productivity of the security industry has been improved has led to the development of third-party evaluation services and various security services such as intermediary, consulting, training, maintenance, and maintenance.

V. Conclusion

The structural adjustment and upgrading of the security industry is a gradual process. It is a process of constantly remedying short boards, breaking through the middle links, forming new growth points, stimulating the development of other links, and ultimately promoting the improvement of the security industry structure. The restructuring and upgrading of the security industry is a process. Therefore, it needs a unified plan and goals, and it needs strong promotion and implementation to achieve this objective step by step.
