Industry Performance
The locksmith industry accounted for more than $2 billion in revenue throughout the 2019 year, growing an average of 4.3% annually over the preceding five-year period. Demand for locksmithing services is tied to the performance of the construction and housing markets, both of which are steadily increasing. Businesses depend on locksmiths to install mechanical locks, doors, gates, safes, and security systems, while homeowners, property managers, and landlords rely on locksmiths for general locksmithing services and security system installation. Projected growth for this market over the next year is forecast at 4.7%, owing to an increase in homeownership and commercial development.
