The United States smoke detectors market is set to project a CAGR of 7.11% during the forecast period, 2022-2028, and is estimated to reach $815.38 million by 2028.

In the United States, the increasing fire incidences boost smoke detectors’ demands. For instance, the local fire departments responded to an evaluated 1.4 million fires in the United States in 2020. As per stats, these further resulted in 15,200 civilian fire injuries and 3,500 civilian fire deaths. Fire can be caused due to varied factors like an electric short circuit, which can be controlled upon timely detection. Smoke detectors reduce the hazards caused by accidental fire outbreaks using alarm systems to detect smoke. Mostly, they are attached to water sprinklers that turn on upon smoke detection. Smoke detectors are classified into ionization smoke detectors and photoelectric smoke detectors.

Also, several states and cities have created legislation obligating specific smoke alarm types or smoke alarms in various settings. In addition, certain laws specify the need for carbon monoxide alarms or other safety products. Besides, for several years, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code necessitated the installation of smoke alarms in every sleeping room and outside the sleeping area at every level of the home. As a result, there is a rising demand for smoke alarms in all residential dwellings like rental properties, hotels, multi-family homes, single-family homes, dormitories, etc. Such legislation and regulations promote the growth prospects of smoke detectors in the United States.

The smoke detectors market growth is linked to the downstream construction market growth. This is because the majority of fire alarms and detectors are installed during the final stages of building construction. Also, the market demands are propelled by the new non-residential building activities. Fire safety is central to building planning and construction. Additionally, government laws are mandating the installation of smoke detection systems in industrial, residential, and commercial structures.

The report scope of the United States smoke detectors market includes power source, end-user, and product type. The product type category includes dual-sensor, ionization, photoelectric, and other product types.

A photoelectric or optical smoke detector uses a light beam to detect the smoke’s presence. These alarm types are more efficient in notifying when a fire originates from smoldering sources like a lit cigarette, as per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Also, the sensing chamber of a photoelectric smoke alarm consists of a light-sensitive sensor and a light-emitting diode. The LED light beam’s straight-line gets scattered even by the small presence of suspended smoke particles.

Ionization smoke detectors come with a built-in ionization chamber supported by two plates and voltage in between. These detectors ionize the air in its internal sensing chamber using a minuscule amount of radioactive material. These smoke alarms are highly sensitive to small smoke particles and respond 30-90 seconds faster to fast flaming fires than photoelectric smoke alarms. In addition, these sensors are cheaper than photoelectric smoke detectors.

The key market players in the United States smoke detectors market include Google Nest (Google), Schneider Electric, BRK Brands Inc, Carrier Global Corporation, etc.

Carrier Global Corp provides heating, refrigeration, air-conditioning, and ventilating systems. The product portfolio includes fire & gas safety equipment, refrigeration, indoor air quality products, heat pumps, furnaces, etc. Also, it offers installation, maintenance, and design services for industrial and commercial buildings. The company has its headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, the United States, with operations in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific.

One of its key products, FyreWatch™ Battery Operated Smoke Alarm (i9030), is a full-size battery-operated smoke alarm offering protection from fast flaming fires.
