Securing Hampton Roads’ Thriving Industries

Norfolk and the broader Hampton Roads region are experiencing a dynamic economic resurgence, with diverse industries driving growth and innovation. As the area evolves into a hub for defense, maritime activities, and emerging technologies, the need for robust security solutions has never been more critical. 

Defense and Shipbuilding

The defense sector remains a cornerstone of Hampton Roads' economy, with local defense spending exceeding $28 billion in 2023 and projected to surpass $30 billion by 2030. The region's prominence in shipbuilding, submarine construction, and ship repair positions it at the epicenter of the U.S. surge in submarine production (Hampton Roads Alliance). This industry's growth necessitates advanced security measures to protect sensitive operations and valuable assets. 

Maritime and Logistics

The Port of Virginia has outperformed most other East Coast ports, showcasing the success of recent investments in port infrastructure (Old Dominion University). While cargo volume temporarily declined due to decreased demand, the port is primed for future expansion. This growth creates unique security challenges for the transportation and logistics sector, which is projected to add 2,692 jobs through the first half of 2025 (Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization).

Technology and Cybersecurity

Hampton Roads is emerging as a technology hub, particularly in cybersecurity. The region's tech scene is booming, with 2,189 tech companies contributing $26.4 billion to the local economy as of 2024. The estimated median tech occupation wage in the area is $95,308, 87% higher than the median wage for all occupations. This rapid growth creates an increased demand for advanced cybersecurity measures and physical security solutions.

Healthcare and Life Sciences

The healthcare sector remains a significant contributor to the local economy. In 2023, health care and social assistance accounted for 18% of the region's economic output. Despite projections of slight decreases in output, the industry is forecasted to grow in employment from 2012 to 2025, creating new opportunities for security integration in medical facilities (Virginia Transportation Plan).

Real Estate and Construction

The real estate and construction sectors in Hampton Roads continue to thrive. The construction industry showed a 2.2% annual job growth rate, adding 900 jobs and ranking third highest among Florida metro areas (WHRO Public Media). Major developments, including new office spaces and educational facilities, are driving growth in this sector, necessitating comprehensive security solutions for both residential and commercial properties.
