NSCA Electronic Systems Outlook: 8% Increase in Construction Forecast

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Total U.S. engineering and construction spending is forecast to end 2021 up 8% compared to up 6% in 2020, led primarily by residential, according to NSCA’s Electronic Systems Outlook Winter 2021 report.

The research includes information based upon actual data from January through November 2021, as well as forecasted information for 2022 and beyond.

NSCA partners with FMI to provide the biannual report, which is said to offer the newest, most relevant indicators of business opportunities for integrators.

By tracking new construction starts and renovations across multiple markets — including healthcare, lodging, retail, education, houses of worship and more — NSCA pinpoints which verticals should do well in 2022 and years to come.

For 2022, FMI forecasts 5% growth in engineering and construction spending levels compared to 2021.

The Electronic Systems Outlook Winter 2021 edition also provides an updated view of construction data by market for electronic systems/technology, including audio/visual, data/IT, building automation/control, life safety/fire/security and digital signage/lighting.

“We’re seeing an economy that should continue to improve in 2022 — despite a resurgence in COVID-19,” says NSCA Executive Director Tom LeBlanc. “Integrators will be challenged, however, by the unpredictability of consumer confidence in their respective markets. But the Conference Board is seeing consumer confidence trend upward as this report is released. We recommend that integration companies use this time to emphasize backend operations and ensure profitability.”

During the Business & Leadership Conference on Feb. 23-25 in Irving, TX, in what has become an annual tradition, Chris Kuehl — chief economist and managing partner for a firm that provides forecasts and strategic guidance — will use the Electronic Systems Outlook Winter 2021 report to analyze long-term trends, current conditions, and the economic outlook for 2022 and beyond.

In addition, NSCA will host a free, one-hour webinar on Feb. 15 which walks integrators through the top 10 takeaways from the report’s data and how to apply this information to their own businesses. For example, integrators can use the Electronic Systems Outlook to benchmark sales numbers and prepare business valuations.

Growth indicators can be used to determine incentive programs, reveal new market potential, and appropriately distribute resources. This forecast data can also be shared with financial advisors and lenders to prove the stability of systems integrators in the marketplace.

The Electronic Systems Outlook is free for NSCA members. For more information about how to purchase the report, to see a preview of the report, or to join NSCA, go here.

Minnesota AG Calls for Cancellation of Home Security Contracts for Alleged Fraud

STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Bring Me the News reports that Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, says he’s gotten consumers in Stearns County out of home security contracts after they were misled by a door-to-door salesman. According to the report, Ellison’s office announced that home security companies Skyline Security Management and Safe Home Security have agreed to their cancel contracts with customers in and around Stearns County who purchased their systems from door-to-door salesman Gary Harvey. “Door-to-door salesmen and their employers are in the business of trust-building,” Ellison said in a statement. “They know they need to have your trust to sell you their products, particularly expensive products like security systems that are supposed to keep your home safe. When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
