Smoke detector is a sensor based device which senses smoke and provides an indication of possible fire, hence providing security to the residential and commercial venues and people. In case of residential and commercial security, smoke detectors issue a signal directly to a fire alarm control panel, while in household smoke detectors most commonly known as smoke alarm furnishes visual or audible alarm indications from the smoke detecting object itself. A smoke detector refers to a device which is typically an indicator of fire and senses smoke. Commercial smoke security devices issue an indication or a signal to the fire alarm control panel as a component of the overall fire alarm system, whereas in household based smoke detectors they usually issue a local audible or visual alarm from the detector. Smoke detectors usually consist of two key components namely sensor which helps in sensing any smoke within the surroundings as well as loud electric horn which helps in creating loud sound within the surroundings making the people aware about a certain fire. The total amount of current needed to make a single smoke detector function is approximately a 9-volt battery or a 120-volt house current. In addition, smoke detectors are placed in a disk-shaped plastic box or enclosure ranging about 150 millimeters in diameter as well as 25 millimeters in thickness.

Some of the key factors driving the global smoke detectors market include increase in deaths and injuries owing to the rising occurrences of fire in residential and commercial buildings. In addition, increasing demand for smoke detectors, especially from urban population as well as government and private sectors across the globe for investing in relatively better and safer infrastructure facilities, is another major factor fueling the growth of global smoke detectors market. Also, construction of commercial and residential buildings along with increasing number of educational institutes and healthcare centers is further leading to the rise in demand for adequate fire security solutions across the globe. Increasing demand for smoke detector solutions from commercial buildings and rapid urbanization, especially in developing economies across the globe is another major aspect bolstering the growth of global smoke detector market. Moreover, the global smoke detectors market is rapidly growing owing to an increase in the number of residential construction activities as well as rising demand for replacement of smoke detectors.

The global smoke detectors market can be segmented on the basis of power source, product type, service, end-use industry and region. By power source, the global smoke detectors market can be segmented into battery powered, hardwired with battery backup, and hardwired without battery backup. By product type, the market can be segmented into photoelectric smoke detector, ionization smoke detector, dual sensor smoke detector and others. On the basis of service, the global smoke detectors market can be segmented into installation & design services, engineering services, maintenance services, managed services and others. On the basis of end-use industry, the global smoke detectors market can be segmented into commercial, residential, oil & gas, mining, transportation & logistics, telecommunication, manufacturing and others.

On the basis of region, the global smoke detectors market can be segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East & Africa and Asia-Pacific. The robust demand in Asia-Pacific is expected to be the major driving factor for the growth of smoke detectors market. China is analyzed to lead the demand for smoke detectors owing to the increased industrial production in past half a decade. It is also the leading consumer of smoke detectors in the world. The market in other emerging economies such as Brazil and India is also projected to grow rapidly. Some of the major players are Honeywell, NEC Corporation, Hochiki America, Siemens, UTC, Tyco, Hitachi, and Johnson Control among others.
