Saudi Arabia’s homeland security market is unlike any other in the world. It is the only country whose very survival is threatened by both internal (Al Qaeda and the Shia minority) and external (e.g. the threat of a nuclear Iran, the annual Hajj pilgrimage) forces. .
Recession or not, Saudi Arabia will continue to allocate all necessary resources to maintain and strengthen its highly effective Homeland Security – Homeland Defense infrastructure. With nearly unlimited monetary resources, the Kingdom has created a complex maze of 24 redundant Homeland Security – Homeland Defense organizations numbering more than 250,000 people.
This landmark report represents years of research, dozens of interviews, and in-depth analysis of thousands of documents. The result is a comprehensive roadmap of this huge and intriguing Homeland Security market.
Some highlights include:
- Detailed deciphering of the complex multi-tier, inter-dependent, Saudi organizations, employing over 250,000 people, and devoted exclusively to HLS 18 HLS sub-segment market forecasts and analysis (e.g. Aviation Security, Counter-Terror Intel, Maritime, Saudi Oil & Gas Security, Ministry of Interior, Private Sector Security, IT)
- Dozens of Saudi Arabian market business opportunities segmented by HLS industry (e.g. Intel, Cyber-Security, Perimeter Protection).
