A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke as an indication of a possible fire, thus providing commercial and residential security. Smoke detectors are connected to an alarm system, which emits a high-pitched audio tone to warn residents in case of fire. The type of the smoke detector to be used in residences varies on the specification of the buildings. Battery-powered detectors and interconnected hard-wired detectors are two main types of smoke detectors.

One of the major trends in the market is the emergence of very early warning smoke detectors. These detectors reduce the critical time required to activate an alarm, and initiate the response to prevent loss of life, injury, or property damage.

According to the report, one of the main growth drivers of the Residential Smoke Detector market in the US is an increase in injuries and deaths caused by fires. It has been estimated that the death rate per 100 people was double in houses without a smoke alarm when compared to houses with a smoke alarm.
