Asian smoke detector market to grow by 2028

November 7, 2022

The “Global Residential Smoke Detectors Market Research and Forecast 2022-2028” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global residential smoke detectors market is anticipated to grow significantly at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. A smoke detector is a gadget having a sensor that detects smoke and alerts the user to a fire. Smoke can be detected using two methods: optical and physical.

Photoelectric detectors use an optical mechanism, while ionization detectors employ a physical process. Both strategies are used by some detectors. According to the National Fire Protection Association of the US (NFPA) in 2019, there were around 5 deaths per 1000 houses in homes with functional smoke alarms, compared to 12 deaths in homes without smoke alarms. The usage of smoke detectors has considerably reduced the number of people who have died as a result of a fire.

Furthermore, the market for residential smoke detectors is boosted by rapid urbanization around the globe. According to the United Nations (UN), over 3.4 billion people (55% of the population) lived in urban areas in 2018, with this number expected to rise to around 5.9 billion people (68%) by 2050.

Cohesive government regulations, efforts, and projects in favor of smoke detectors, rising acceptance of smart home and smart home security, and technological advancements are all contributing to the market’s growth. Aside from these factors, the growing IoT industry would have a substantial impact on market growth over the projection period. However, the high initial installation cost is one of the primary factors that is expected to stifle market expansion.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Residential Smoke Detectors Market

The global residential smoke detectors market is hit by the outbreak of COVID-19 in December 2019. China was the epicenter of the pandemic, from where the pandemic spread throughout the globe. As a result, existing safety equipment manufacturing plants were forced to close their operations, while new projects across China were put on hold. Several offices and manufacturing sites have been permanently closed.

Apart from it, the outbreak has adversely affected all the manufacturing and industrial sectors, and also it has disrupted the business functions of a wide range of industries across the globe. The nationwide lockdowns imposed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have had a negative impact on the construction sector, which is the smoke detectors industry’s largest revenue generator. The market will witness “V” shape recovery in near future owing to the restart of activities in major economies.
