Market Overview
Expansion of Residential Housing Sector Keeps the Fire and Smoke Detection Devices Market Stable
In 2008 and 2009, the global economic crisis affected the Australian construction market. Despite the slump, the fire and smoke detection market remained stable, partly due to the demand for these devices in the residential construction market. “Effective building regulations on fire safety devices is of utmost importance in Australia’s fire and smoke detection devices market,” notes the analyst of this research service. “Moreover, Australians have high concern on the quality of life and safety levels, which has made fire safety devices in household and commercial settings a basic commodity over recent years.” The declining prices of advanced smoke detection applications and the simplicity of the devices have also raised the demand for smoke detection devices in households.
However, the stagnation of the construction market in commercial buildings and industrial sectors is expected to have a short-term negative impact on the market. The high durability of fire and smoke detection devices and the declining number of fire incidents are also likely to be long-term challenges of the market. “If the device is not dented, painted, or damaged, the detector will easily last for 15 to 20 years without any problems,” says the analyst. “The same applies to smoke alarms with lithium batteries that can last for 10 years without battery replacement.” Even though rules and regulations on replacement and maintenance cycle for the devices are in place, end users tend to repair them rather than opt for upgrades or replacement.
“The current trend in fire detection market is a shift toward addressable systems while the focus of the smoke alarms market is on photoelectric smoke alarms,” notes the analyst. “From 2010 onwards, the market is likely to register positive growth rate between 3.5 to 4 percent, mainly driven by the expansion of smoke alarm market, which currently accounts for 16 percent and expected to reach 29 percent of total market in Australia by 2016.”
