Market Trends of United States Building Automation Controls Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the US Building Automation Controls Market according to our research experts:
Fire Protection Systems are one of the Factor Driving the Market
- Integrating fire and safety systems with automated buildings is essential for preventing or minimizing loss during a fire threat. A fire safety system provides a high level of coordination, which is required between the active fire system, building-wide communications, and interactive smoke control systems in case of a fire. This method reduces the quantity of damage that a fire might inflict.
- According to the national fire protection association 2021 report, in 2020, local fire departments responded to an estimated 1.4 million fires in the united states. These fires resulted in the deaths of 3,500 civilians and the injury of 15,200 civilians. Property damage was projected to be worth USD 21.9 billion. In 2020, a fire department in the united states responded to a fire every 23 seconds on average. Every 89 seconds, a home structure fire was reported, every three hours and 24 minutes, a home fire death was reported, and every 46 minutes, a home fire injury was reported.
- With the improvements in the sensors' capabilities and communication channel technology, IoT devices present in industries and residential spaces have made the adoption of new-tech solutions possible. Therefore, the market is experiencing the demand for fire safety systems that can integrate with the new as well as legacy systems.
- Owing to safety policies and regulations applicable to the industry, despite market maturity, the industry continues to introduce new product offerings that have contributed to product turnover and attracted new demand. In many cities, it is a statutory requirement to carry out fire evacuation drills at least twice a year in all residential and commercial spaces. Further, the awareness toward the adoption of equipment to meet the safety standards, regulations, and fire safety systems is demanded in several process industries, such as oil and gas, power generation, water and wastewater, food manufacturing, metal and mining, paper and pulp, and textile manufacturing and processing.
