2025 Security Industry Predictions: Elizabeth Parks, President and CMO, Parks Associates

The latest entry in our 2025 Security Industry Predictions series is Elizabeth Parks, president and chief marketing officer at Parks Associates, which produces research about what’s going on in the physical security world and beyond.

Parks Associates Research finds that over half of wearables purchase intenders say they are willing to pay a higher fee for a model with 24/7 professional security monitoring, adding the potential for RMR (recurring monthly revenue) to this line of products.

Safety and security are themes in Parks Associates research on wearables: 80% of US internet households would pay more for at least one tested solution, such as emergency SOS features or tracking the location of an elderly relative.
