The increasing frequency of fire incidents is expected to drive the growth of the smoke alarms market. Fire mishaps, which result in damage, injuries, or loss of life, are often caused by factors such as electrical faults, flammable materials, human error, and inadequate safety measures. Smoke alarms play a critical role in improving fire safety by detecting smoke at an early stage and triggering alerts, which enables timely evacuations and helps reduce property damage and fatalities. For example, the National Fire Protection Association reported in November 2024 that in 2023, nearly 255,500 one- or two-family home fires, which represented 18% of all reported incidents, resulted in 2,490 deaths (68% of the total), 7,450 injuries (56%), and $8.7 billion in damages (49%). These figures showed increases compared to 2022, with deaths rising by 11%, injuries by 4%, and damages by 1%. As fire mishaps continue to rise, the demand for smoke alarms is increasing.

Companies in the smoke alarms market are focusing on enhancing fire detection systems by incorporating advanced technologies, such as dual-spectrum photoelectric smoke-sensing technology, to improve detection accuracy, connectivity, and real-time alerts. This technology enhances traditional smoke detectors by using multiple light wavelengths to better differentiate between various types of smoke and airborne particles. For example, in November 2022, an Australian company launched the Wiser smart smoke alarm, which utilizes dual-spectrum photoelectric sensing technology. This innovation helps reduce false alarms and improves the reliability of the device. The Wiser smart smoke alarm can be integrated with the Wiser smart home system, allowing users to receive push notifications on their smartphones or tablets if smoke is detected, even when they are not at home.
