Report Says Data Center Access Control Shift Toward Biometrics, Touchless and Mobile, With Honeywell Named Among Key Vendors

A newly published industry study forecasts growth drivers for access control technologies used in data centers, emphasizing biometric, touchless, and mobile entry, while positioning Honeywell as one of the companies profiled alongside HID Global and other suppliers.

Honeywell was named among the leading companies profiled in a newly released 120-page market study focused on data center access control, according to a report summary published by Yahoo Finance. The study frames access control as an expanding layer of infrastructure for data centers building out for artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and edge workloads.

The report’s overview highlights demand drivers tied to faster, lower-friction entry methods, pointing to biometric and touchless approaches as well as mobile access. It also connects the technology refresh cycle to the operational needs of different data center environments, including hyperscale, colocation, and purpose-built facilities supporting AI and HPC applications.

The publication summary also links the market to compliance and security requirements, describing the technologies as part of a broader security stack that can include perimeter, facility, critical-room, and rack-level access controls. That framing suggests buyers are looking for more granular control of who and what can enter sensitive areas within a data center footprint.

Honeywell appears in the study alongside HID Global and 12 other companies, the Yahoo Finance item says, positioning the vendors as participants in a competitive landscape for access control hardware and related solutions deployed in mission-critical computing environments. The summary does not provide the report’s forecast numbers in the text shared here.

For Honeywell, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker HON, inclusion in a market-profile list like this reflects the company’s established presence in industrial and building technologies that overlap with physical security and access management needs. Data center operators, in turn, often seek systems that integrate with existing security operations while meeting stricter site-entry and audit expectations.

Sector context matters because data centers are increasingly treated as both security domains and IT-adjacent facilities. As AI workloads concentrate capacity and drive new builds and retrofits, access control becomes part of how operators manage risk around equipment rooms, power and cooling assets, and tightly governed environments.

Still, details about what Honeywell-specific capabilities the report highlights, or how Honeywell’s performance compares with competitors, are not disclosed in the Yahoo Finance summary provided here. The report’s stated market sizing, time horizon, and any share estimates are likewise not included in the excerpt.

What to watch next is whether additional coverage or the full study release provides the forecast range through 2033, plus vendor-specific positioning and technology breakdowns. Market participants will also look for confirmation that biometric, touchless, and mobile access features are translating into measurable adoption at scale in hyperscale and colocation deployments.

Why It Matters

  • Access control is increasingly positioned as a security and compliance requirement inside data centers, not just a perimeter function.
  • If biometric, touchless, and mobile entry are gaining traction, vendors with compatible hardware and integration capabilities could benefit from upgrades tied to new builds and expansions.
  • Rack-level and critical-room control suggests growing expectations for more granular access auditing and tighter operational control in computing environments.
