Store Pickup More Popular Than Home Delivery Among Back-to-School Shoppers, According to Sensormatic Solutions Survey
70% of shoppers plan to head into brick-and-mortar store locations to complete their back-to-school buying. Large crowds (43%), lack of time to shop (33%) and long lines at points of sale (25%) are top challenges for in-person shoppers. NEUHAUSEN, Switzerland, July 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sensormatic Solutions, the leading global retail solutions portfolio of Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), today released the findings of its 2025 U.S. Back-to-School Consumer Sentiment Survey, showing that the majority (70%) of respondents plan to visit brick-and-mortar store locations to stock up ahead of the school year. Additionally, the survey found that interest in "buy online, pickup in store" (BOPIS; 46%) has risen from last year (43%) and now outpaces interest in at-home delivery (38%). "High interest for in-store shopping and pickup options indicates consumers' appreciation for the unique benefits brick-and-mortar retail has to offer, especially during peak traffic periods like the back-to-school shopping season," said Grant Gustafson, head of retail consulting and analytics at Sensormatic Solutions. "In-store and curbside pickup options present shoppers a chance to get the best of both worlds: the convenience that comes with online ordering and the immediacy of in-store visits. Retailers who prioritize flawless omnichannel execution this summer are likely to be customer favorites." The survey also shed light on when shoppers are planning to kick off their shopping, with August (39%) emerging as the most popular month and July (34%) as a close second. Nearly half (48%) of respondents plan to shop earlier due to concerns about product availability and potential supply chain disruption. These findings are in line with Sensormatic Solutions traffic predictions for the 2025 back-to-school season and historical patterns to date. Survey responses also reveal the top factors most likely to affect shoppers as they prepare for the upcoming academic year: 1. PricePrice sensitivity is high, with more than three-quarters (76%) of respondents citing cost among the factors most likely to impact their shopping experiences. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of respondents also share that they plan to spend less than they did last year. 34% of respondents say in-store promotions are important to their experiences. 54% of respondents will seek out discount or secondhand retail locations to help control spending. 2. Products and availabilityNearly two-thirds (65%) of respondents cite product availability/supply chain disruptions as a top factor in their shopping experiences, and more than half (55%) rank out-of-stocks among the most significant challenges they anticipate this year. Among shoppers who say they plan to use BOPIS, more than one-third (36%) cite same-day pickup as a top motivator. Apparel (69%), shoes (53%) and school supplies (43%) will again be the categories on which shoppers plan to spend the most. 3. In-store experiencesBottlenecks and poor service still have the power to sway shoppers amid financial and availability-related concerns, though responses were less uniform. Safe and comfortable store environments (44%), proximity to the store (30%) and checkout speeds (26%) are all likely to significantly affect shoppers' choices this year. Large crowds (43%), lack of time to shop (33%) and long lines at points of sale (25%) are top challenges for in-person shoppers. 49% of respondents noted they prefer to interact with retail associates only when immediate assistance is needed—up from 45% at the end of last year. "The margin for error on customer experience is getting narrower as expectations rise and retailers continue to improve their operations," said Tony D'Onofrio, president of Sensormatic Solutions. "The back-to-school season's busiest weeks are still ahead, so now is the time to key in on merchandise availability, labor optimization, and safety and security to ensure a memorable customer experience. Retailers that consider their operations holistically—from source to store—will be able to connect the dots across their supply chains for greater success."

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to MarketsandMarkets™, the global Physical Security Market is projected to grow from USD 120.79 billion in 2025 to USD 151.50 billion by 2030, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.6% during the forecast period. Browse in-depth TOC on 'Physical Security Market' 525 – Tables 57 – Figures419 – Pages Download PDF Brochure @ Scope of the Report Report Metrics Details Market size available for the years 2019-2030 Base year considered 2024 Forecast period 2025–2030 Forecast units Value (USD Million/USD Billion) Segments covered By Offering, System, Service, Organization Size, Vertical, and Region Geographies covered North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America Companies covered The physical security market is led by some of the globally established players, such as Johnson Controls (Ireland), Bosch Building Technologies (Germany), Honeywell (US), ADT (US), Cisco (US), Telus (Canada), Wesco (US), Genetec (Canada), HID Global (US), Pelco (US), Hikvision (China), Gallagher (New Zealand), Secom (Japan), Allied Universal (US), Zhejiang Dahua Technology (China), Axis Communications (Sweden), Hanwha Vision America (US), Teledyne Flir (US), Hexagon AB (Sweden), General Dynamics (US), BAE Systems (UK), Huawei (China), NEC (Japan), SmartCone Technologies (Canada), Verkada (US), and Cloudastructure (US) The rise in security breaches and malicious attacks in areas like transportation, healthcare, government, and commercial buildings is increasing the need for stronger physical security. Organizations are now focusing on real-time protection, from controlling access to preventing threats across their facilities. The threat landscape is becoming more complex, with attackers using a combination of physical intrusions and cyber techniques, along with insider threats, unauthorized drone activity, and coordinated break-ins at sensitive locations like hospitals and airports. To address these risks, businesses are investing in modern solutions such as integrated access control systems, smart sensors, and AI-powered surveillance that enhance safety without disrupting operations. Request Sample Pages@ Based on offering, the video surveillance segment will account for the largest market size during the forecast period. Expanding needs for real-time monitoring, crime prevention, and upgrading public safety across commercial, government, and infrastructure sectors are driving demand for video surveillance systems. New IP cameras, high-definition CCTVs, and video analytics now provide functionality much more advanced than mere recording, like providing actionable insight in the form of motion detection, face recognition, and behavioral analysis. Integrated into smart infrastructure, these solutions provide real-time awareness of vehicles, machinery, and building perimeters. With increasing security threats and operational intelligence moving to the center stage, deployment is increasingly taking place in high-risk locations such as banks, malls, transportation centers, and public spaces. Despite advancements in smart and data-driven technologies, video surveillance still remains a vital component in preventing security incidents and enhancing proactive threat management across sectors. By organization size, the large enterprises segment will account for a larger market size during the forecast period. With expansive assets and complex infrastructure, large-sized businesses are more vulnerable to physical attacks, driving their strong reliance on advancing their physical security systems. To address these vulnerabilities, such as unauthorized access to data centers, insider threats, theft of valuable equipment, tampering with operational systems, or targeted attacks on executive facilities, large enterprises demand integrated physical security frameworks that combine deterrence, detection, and rapid response capabilities. Large enterprises typically allocate high budgets for security, enabling them to deploy integrated solutions powered by AI, IoT, and real-time analytics. Moreover, the need to meet regulatory requirements and protect brand reputation further drives their investment in robust, enterprise-grade physical security systems. By region, Asia Pacific will grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of physical security in Asia Pacific is influenced by increasing urbanization, rising infrastructure development, and heightened concerns over public and private safety. Also, the growing investments in smart city projects and mass transit systems are further expected to fuel the demand for advanced surveillance and access control systems in the region. Rising incidents of crime and terrorism across Asia Pacific are prompting governments and businesses to strengthen their physical security infrastructure. This is driving the adoption of smart surveillance, real-time monitoring, and deterrence to enhance safety and reduce potential risks. Moreover, supportive government policies such as India's Smart Cities Mission, China's Safe City initiatives, and Japan's emphasis on disaster resilience, alongside expanding industrial and commercial sectors, are further accelerating the adoption of physical security solutions in the region.
