During 2015-16, the global market for residential smoke detectors was valued at over USD 1 billion and is expected to witness stable growth at a CAGR of over 2% by the end of 2025.
For any business to succeed and thrive, it is a prerequisite to develop effective market entry strategies and keep a close track of the competition and state of the industry. Typically, companies commission market assessment analyses to assess the viability of a business opportunity under consideration. However, a well-prepared assessment delivers value far beyond that immediate need and help businesses foresee the challenges and pitfalls that lie ahead. Besides providing vital data and context for evaluating an opportunity, a market assessment study reveals much more than conventional research.
Smoke detectors may be one of the most indispensable items in a household, because of its obvious potential to save lives and property. These early warning devices alert about a fire breakout and dangerous smoke while there is still time to evacuate; however, they need to be tested regularly to ensure proper function. Smoke detectors include an
electronic PCB and a sensor that is enclosed in a plastic chamber, which includes the components necessary for the detection of smoke. The detectors sense the smoke from a fire and activate the alarm. Several advanced technologies, including wireless sensors and smart buildings, are entering the residential smoke detectors market. Smart smoke detectors comprise a group of sensors and detectors that can communicate easily with control units, ensuring better efficiency in the systems.
Globally, the market for residential smoke detectors is envisaged to grow at a CAGR of over 2% until 2025. Much of this growth is predicted to be driven north considering the implementation of stringent fire safety legislation and increasing residential construction across the globe. Considering significant growth prospects across the globe, a leading manufacturing firm asked our team to assess the market and competitive dynamics to increase transparency on market structure and technical requirements across target regions. The results were expected to enable clients in getting actionable insights on the key trends and future growth prospects of this market.
