Retail environments across South Africa continue to face growing pressure from theft, shrinkage, safety risks, and operational inefficiencies. Securex South Africa 2026, taking place at Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg, brings together the technologies and expertise needed to address these challenges in a practical, integrated way.
From AI-driven surveillance to real-time monitoring and access control systems in action, visitors can see how retail security solutions perform in live environments and what that means for their own stores and operations.
Securex South Africa, Africa’s most comprehensive security exhibition, is co-located with A-OSH EXPO, Facilities Management Expo, Firexpo, and RE+ South Africa. With one visit, retailers can explore five co-located expos, gaining a complete view of security, safety, facilities, fire, and energy solutions in one place. This integrated platform enables retail professionals to explore solutions that enhance security, improve customer safety, and support more efficient store operations.
As Mark Anderson, portfolio director at Montgomery Group Africa, explains, “Retailers are under increasing pressure to manage risk, while maintaining a positive customer experience. Securex South Africa provides access to integrated solutions that help retailers reduce loss, improve visibility and strengthen operational control across their environments.”
Addressing loss, safety and operational risk
Retailers across South Africa are investing in technologies that go beyond basic surveillance. Modern retail security strategies now focus on integration, data, and real-time response. Visitors attending Securex South Africa can explore solutions designed for retail environments, including:
• Advanced CCTV and AI-enabled video analytics for theft detection.
• Access control systems for stockrooms, warehouses and restricted areas.
• Electronic article surveillance and anti-theft technologies.
• Remote monitoring and centralised control room solutions.
• Fire detection and suppression systems critical to retail compliance.
• Energy and backup power solutions supporting uninterrupted store operations.
Seeing these solutions in action allows retailers to compare performance, assess their suitability for different store formats, and identify the most effective ways to reduce shrinkage and improve oversight. This makes Securex South Africa highly relevant for retailers looking to improve loss prevention, staff safety and operational resilience.
Integrated solutions for modern retail environments
Securex South Africa’s co-location with Africa’s leading occupational health and safety exhibition, a comprehensive facilities management expo, an all-round fire protection exhibition, and a renewable energy expo in South Africa offers clear advantages for retail professionals.
Retailers can explore how security systems integrate with:
• Facilities management platforms for maintenance and asset tracking.
• Fire safety systems supporting compliance and insurance requirements.
• Energy solutions that ensure continuity during power disruptions.
• Smart building technologies that improve efficiency and customer experience.
Seeing these systems together in one place helps retailers identify gaps, compare solutions, and build more efficient, resilient store environments. This integrated approach supports more effective decision-making and helps retailers build safer, more resilient operations.
Be where retail security decisions are made
“Securex South Africa 2026 is more than a security exhibition; it is a platform where retail security, safety, facilities, and energy solutions come together to support smarter, safer retail environments,” says Anderson. “Securex South Africa brings together the technologies and expertise retailers need to manage risk and improve performance. From loss prevention to integrated systems, this is where retail security decisions are made.
