Considering
the increased frequency of security issues and fire accidents, the
market for fire alarm equipment has achieved maturity over the years
and at a global level. However, constant innovations – in
technology as well as product – keeps this market dynamic and
constantly expanding.
There
are a variety of fire alarm systems and equipment available in the
market today, such as smoke detectors, heat detectors, and flame
detectors, which are used in public buildings, private buildings,
commercial spaces, and industrial settings. Fire alarm equipment
finds application in chemical factories, warehouses, theaters,
airports, churches, drilling platforms, office buildings, waste
treatment facilities, pumping stations, hotels, laboratories,
large-scale garages, power plants, packaging facilities, apartments
and houses, treatment facilities of chemical solvents, heat
treatment, all kinds of ships, hospitals, museums, sewage plants,
filling stations of inflammable fluids and gases, schools, cultural
monuments, and petrochemical.
Surge
in Building and Construction Activities Driving Demand for Fire Alarm
Equipment
The
fire alarm equipment market has been exhibiting strong growth and is
forecast to witness steady growth in the coming years.
Listed
below are some of the key factors driving the global fire alarm
equipment market –
>
The implementation of mandatory health safety guidelines is a major
factor boosting the market for fire alarm equipment.
>
The growing demand for fire alarm equipment from the construction
industry is a prominent growth driver, given that new constructions
and modern buildings for public facilities and housing are equipped
with the latest fire detection systems.
>
There are several stringent government regulations in place to ensure
the safety of laborers working in various industries.
>
Jurisdictional requirements by various countries – such as the Fire
Protection Association in the US and the Building Code of Australia –
have mandated the installation of fire detection devices such as fire
and smoke alarms, a factor that greatly fuels the market for fire
alarm equipment.
>
The development of advanced technologies such as wireless sensory
networks, human machine interface (HMI), smart building, and
nanotechnology have greatly contributed toward the expansion of the
fire alarm equipment.
>
The growing awareness regarding fire protection and prevention among
the general population has resulted in the greater need for fire
alarm systems.
In
contrast, the lack of effective control and proper compliance
threatens to impede the growth of the global fire alarm equipment
market.
Innovative
Fire-Fighting Device Developed by World Patent Marketing
Manufacturer
of patented products for entrepreneurs and inventors and an
innovation incubator, World Patent Marketing announced the creation
of the Firebox. This safety invention promises to improve the way
homes and public buildings are protected against damages and losses
caused by fire. Lack of accessibility to fire extinguishers and other
fire-fighting equipment is one of the most common reasons for fire
spreading in any establishment. The Firebox is a fire hose reel box,
which is permanently connected to a water source. The unique feature
of this invention is that the moment it detects a fire, the cover of
the box is immediately opened to gain access to the hose. The Firebox
is also fitted with an audio alarm and a light, both of which are
turned on the moment a fire is detected.
Some
of the leading players in the global fire alarm equipment market are
Hochiki Corporation, TYCO, Secom, Protec Fire Detection, VT MAK, Mine
Safety Appliances (MSA), Siemens, Johnson Controls, Bosch Security
Systems, HALMA, United Technologies Corporation (UTC), London
Security, Gentex Corporation, Mircom Group of Companies, and
Honeywell.
