Ensure Fire Safety at Home with Advanced Residential Smoke Detectors

A smoke detector is a device with smoke sensors and is placed in a 25-mm thick disk-shaped plastic enclosure, which is about 150 mm in diameter. Residential smoke detectors, like all its variants, senses smoke either optically (photoelectric)and/or by a physical process (ionization).

  • Ionization Smoke Detectors:
An ionization smoke detector is usually more responsive to flaming fires. These detectors use radioactive material to ionize the air. This radioactive material is placed between 2 electrically charged plates, which ionizes air, causing a current flow between the plates.
  • Photoelectric Smoke Detectors:
A photoelectric smoke detector contains a source of infrared, ultraviolet (UV) or visible light, a photoelectric receiver, and a lens. This type of detector is usually more responsive to smoldering fires.

Development of Wireless Technology in Smoke Detectors:

Apart from the residential sector, smoke detectors also find application in commercial and industrial sectors. Rapid advancements in smoke detectors, IoT, and big data technologies have resulted in the development of smart smoke detectors. Growing smartphone usage has therefore resulted in rising demand for such advanced detectors in homes.

Kidde recently introduced its latest intelligent wireless technology along with a new smartphone notification system. Using its proprietary technology, these latest smoke alarms offer wireless interconnection, which allows them to communicate with each other without the need for hard wiring or Wi-Fi connection. The inbuilt color-coded LED (light-emitting diode) lights and high-quality voice alerts communicate the type of hazard in case of an alarm.

Market Overview

According to the latest report made available by Radiant Insights, Inc., the Asia Pacific (APAC) residential smoke detectors market is projected to witness strong growth during the forecast period (from 2017 to 2022). Escalating construction and renovation activities in the residential sector is expected to be a major growth driving factor for the market in this region. This can be attributed to rapid urbanization along with infrastructure development, which are likely to propel market growth during the next five years.

Honeywell International Inc.; System Sensor; Siemens AG; Universal Security Instruments, Inc.; Hochiki Asia Pacific Pte., Ltd.; and Xtralis Pty. Ltd. are some of the prominent vendors operating in the residential smoke detectors market in APAC.
