Other Major Players that have had a considerable market share are LifeAlert, Alert1, Tunstall and BayAlarm Medical and ADT, owing to a loyal customer base. The top players occupy over 75% share in the PERS market. All the companies have comparable product portfolio but the main difference in their market share is due to the quality, safety and reliability of emergency monitoring services provided by them. The established PERS companies are investing considerably into development of new products and expansion into new geographical regions. However, for the new players venturing into the PERS market, the absence of a distribution channel and lack of brand reputation will lead to fierce competition.
