The sector has demonstrated a small, positive shift in payment behaviors over five years, despite having fewer companies in the sample. The overall increase of 3.9 points suggests incremental improvements in payment efficiency but doesn't indicate a fundamental transformation in how safety and security firms handle their invoices.

Summary: Payment practice scores in the safety and security sector improved slightly from 65.6 (out of 100) in 2020 to 69.5 in 2025.
