The increasing rates of criminal activities are projected to further propel the burglar alarm system market. Crime rates, quantifying the frequency of criminal activities, drive the demand for burglar alarm systems as an effective deterrent. These systems detect unauthorized entry, triggering alerts that prompt swift responses from authorities or property owners. In 2023, the Office for National Statistics reported 191,490 home burglaries in England and Wales, with 37,466 burglaries reported to police in London. The surge in crime rates underscores the crucial role of burglar alarm systems in enhancing security and reducing successful burglaries.

Major companies in the burglar alarm systems market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as wireless home-intrusion alarm kits with ultra-low-power consumption and modular integration, to address the growing demand for smart-home security, remote monitoring, and simplified installation in residential environments. These wireless home-intrusion alarm kits differ from traditional wired systems by offering battery-powered wireless sensors, plug-and-play control panels, mobile-app arming and disarming, and data-efficient cloud connectivity - making installation faster, easier to retrofit, and accessible to non-professional users. For example, in March 2024, Hikvision, a China-based security equipment manufacturer, introduced the AX HOME Series Wireless Alarm System. The AX HOME Series is certified to European EN Grade 2 standards for intruder alarms, uses only about 0.05 kWh per day, supports seamless integration with third-party devices through the Open Things Access Protocol (OTAP), features a sliding-design control panel for quick installation, provides remote status monitoring via the Hik-Connect app, and arrives pre-configured for plug-and-play activation, allowing homeowners to set up a complete wireless alarm system with minimal technical expertise.
