Window Sensors Global Market Report 2024

The window sensors market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $11.75 billion in 2023 to $12.96 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to concerns related to home security, the increased adoption of smart home technology, rates of crime and burglary incidents, the growing prevalence of connectivity, and the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, as well as the impact on home insurance premiums.

The window sensors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.42 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to improved integration with smart home ecosystems, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning, an increase in do-it-yourself (DIY) home security systems, the expansion of home automation, and advancements in sensor battery life. Major trends expected in the forecast period include progress in sensor technology, the incorporation of dual-technology sensors, integration with voice assistants, the implementation of machine vision sensors, and the development of solar-powered sensor technology.

The window sensor market is expected to experience growth due to the increasing occurrences of security breaches. A security breach refers to unauthorized entry through a window, triggering the window sensor to send a signal to the main control panel, activating an alarm. For instance, as reported in the June 2023 edition of The State of Safety in America, published by SafeWise, property crime accounted for over 85% of total reported crimes in the United States in 2021, with burglary incidents reaching 619,811. Consequently, the rising incidents of security breaches are a key driver for the growth of the window sensor market.

The expansion of the construction industry is anticipated to contribute to the growth of the window sensor market. The construction industry involves the planning, design, and execution of various structures and infrastructure projects. Incorporating modern security systems, including window sensors, into new constructions enhances overall safety measures by alerting workers to open windows in potentially hazardous areas, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents. For example, according to a report from the UK's Office for National Statistics in February 2022, the annual construction sector rose by a record 12.7% in 2021 compared to the previous year. This growth, driven by an increase in new work and repair and maintenance, is a key factor propelling the window sensor market.

The integration of advanced technologies is a prominent trend in the window sensor market, with major companies developing innovative solutions to maintain their market position. In November 2022, OPTEX, a Japanese sensor manufacturing company, introduced the Grade 3 FlipX advanced sensor series, designed for high-security applications in indoor settings. These sensors feature a unique lens that can be flipped to enable both wide and narrow detection in a single sensor. Additionally, they incorporate a specially designed pyroelectric sensor for improved human body detection and clever IR-Antimasking to enhance protection. Such advancements highlight the trend of incorporating sophisticated technologies to enhance security measures.

Major companies in the window sensor market are also leveraging advanced technologies such as smart sensors to cater to broader customer bases and increase revenue. Smart sensors are sophisticated electronic devices equipped with sensing capabilities, processing power, and communication technology to collect, process, and transmit data. In August 2023, Signify N.V., a Netherlands-based lighting company, launched the Philips Hue Secure contact sensor. This contact sensor, available in black or white, is designed for doors, windows, cabinets, and more, providing real-time notifications upon opening or closing. Its unique capabilities enable programming for various scenarios, such as activating hallway lights and sending notifications in response to contact sensor events, adding an automation layer to home security.

In February 2022, Newell Brands Inc., a US-based consumer and commercial products manufacturer, sold its Connected Home & Security Business to Resideo Technologies Inc., a US-based control and security systems company. This strategic move allows Newell Brands to focus more on categories with significant value creation opportunities through core capabilities. The Connected Home & Security Business of Newell Brands produces home safety products and sensors distributed through retail and commercial channels.
