Intersec Saudi Arabia, the country’s premier event for security, safety, and fire protection, is set to return from November 16 to 18 at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Center. The 2026 edition will feature a 40 percent increase in exhibition space to accommodate rising demand, as Saudi Arabia intensifies investments in these critical sectors.

Organized by Messe Frankfurt Saudi Arabia, the event is expected to attract over 25,000 visitors and more than 500 exhibitors. Notable participants include Bristol, NAFCO, Axis, Genetic, Saudi Sicli, Al-Alamya, and Ehm. The exhibition will serve as a convergence point for global suppliers, policymakers, and buyers engaged in areas such as commercial and perimeter security, homeland security and policing, fire and rescue, safety and health, and cybersecurity.

The expansion of Intersec Saudi Arabia reflects the rapid growth of the country’s fire and security markets, largely driven by major infrastructure projects like NEOM, Red Sea Global, Qiddiya, and Diriyah Gate. These developments are fostering an increased demand for platforms that facilitate the exchange of advanced technologies and innovation while promoting talent development, investment opportunities, and international collaborations.

According to research by Grand View Horizon, Saudi Arabia’s security market is projected to reach $34 billion by 2030, with an anticipated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1 percent. This growth is propelled by rising requirements for integrated physical security, cybersecurity, surveillance, access control, and command-and-control systems. In parallel, data from Mobility Foresights projects that the fire and safety equipment market will expand to $7.1 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 10.2 percent.

The 2026 Intersec Saudi Arabia event aims to support the Kingdom’s evolving security and safety landscape by showcasing cutting-edge products and fostering strategic partnerships to meet the challenges of a rapidly growing market.
