"On the other hand, customers' increased awareness of security needs and available technologies also brings hope for wider applications of electronic security products in the future," Zhang continues.
He adds that the security industry will see the government strengthen its supervision over standardization and qualification control in 2009.

Other sectors include new technologies such as biometrics and intelligent video analysis which will be new origins of profits for leading security product manufacturers in the next three years.
