Based on technology, the market is segmented into photoelectric, dual sensors, and ionization. The dual sensors segment is likely to witness a robust CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period, 2021 to 2028. The popularity of these dual sensor detectors are rising significantly due to several advantages over photoelectric and ionization technologies.
The dual sensor technology offers effective service and provides both types of solutions to evade any type of fire accidents. Growing production of new and innovative product types of dual sensors due to technology advancement is a key aspect for the segment growth. For instance, Honeywell International Inc. introduced its first dual sensor detector, especially for the use of residential units.
It is professionally monitored and installed wireless devices that effectively detected the release of carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke. The introduction of innovative products and technological advancement are projected to fuel the market growth. However, the photoelectric segment is expected to constitute a large market share in the coming years owing to its effective detection of large smoke particles.
On the basis of end-users, the market is classified as commercial, industrial, and residential. The residential segment is expected to record a significant CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period, 2021 to 2028. Growing number of the global population and their rising demand for residential space are the key factors boosting the segment growth due to the wide adoption of fire safety devices in residential buildings.
Moreover, strict government regulations across the globe to mandatory inclusion of smoke and fire protection equipment in residential houses is another main driving factor for the segment. According to the India brand equity foundation (IBEF), India, the real estate industry of the country is predicted to reach at a valuation of USD 1 billion by 2030 from USD 120 million in 2017.
The significant expansion in urbanization especially in developing countries is likely to propel the residential fire and smoke safety equipment market. According to a report published by the United Nations, around 4 million people or about 54% of the world population were living in urban areas in 2014 and the number is projected to increase to 6 million people that is around 66% of the world population by 2050. The other main factors contributing to the segment expansion include favorable government initiatives, increasing adoption of smart home, policies, and technical advancements in smart home security.
In terms of regions, the global smoke detector market is categorized as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market in North America held a major market share of more than 23% in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 1 billion by 2028. The regional market growth can be attributed to several governments’ initiatives and regulations ensuring mandatory installation of smoke detectors across various spaces particularly in residential places.
As per a report of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), U.S., almost three out of every five house fire in the country are caused in those houses that has no smoke alarms (40%) or no working smoke alarms (17%). Meanwhile, the market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to be a fast-growing market owing to its rising population, booming of the real estate, and increasing government investment for infrastructural development in the region.
