Sales Analysis of Outdoor Warning Sirens (2017-2021) Vs. Market Forecast Outlook (2022-2032)

The outdoor warning sirens market was heavily affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. This resulted in the halting of the production of outdoor warning sirens production, as a result, the sales were affected drastically. End-use clients such as hazardous chemical factories and nuclear plants which used these products to alert people had also shut down due to the pandemic in recent past.

This in turn negatively impacted the demand and sales of outdoor warning sirens on a global level. The market value of outdoor warning sirens was US$ 154.7 Mn in 2020. However, one benefit that the industry witnessed due to the pandemic is that the testing of these devices has now spread out of prominent and developed countries such as the UK and the US. Due to this move, new sales of these devices are predicted to have impact in the short-term forecast significantly.

The market value is predicted to be US$ 159.4 Mn in 2022 with the market showing a Y-o-Y growth rate of 2.5% in 2022. With the pandemic situation now under control, the market is expected to witness moderate CAGR of 3.4% and is expected to be valued at US$ 222.8 Mn by 2032.

• Short Term (2022 Q2 to 2025): The growth of dependent industries such as chemical and nuclear plants will increase the sales of the devices.

• Medium Term (2025-2028): Developing devices that are more cost effective and have low maintenance cost will help to increase the market penetration of the product.
• Long Term (2028-2032): Increased emphasis on R&D to improve the technology and material used to develop the device so that the device can withstand adverse weather conditions and transmit data to individuals.

Over the 2017-2021 historical period, the global outdoor warning siren market registered a market value of US$ 155.5 Mn during 2021, and according to Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the market is projected to exhibit growth at 3.4% CAGR between 2022 and 2032.

Market share analysis of outdoor warning siren based on end use and region is provided in a nutshell in the above image. Under the source segment, the electromechanical sub-segment dominates with 76.5% market share in 2022.

What’s Driving Demand for Outdoor Warning Sirens?

“Adoption of Inspection Program in Critical Infrastructure Proliferating Sale of Outdoor Warning Sirens”

In 1952, during the cold war, the price of a Chrysler Air-raid Siren was about US$ 5,500. Over the years, outdoor warning sirens are being used for civil and defense purposes. A significant number of sirens were installed at the time of World War II. Currently, agencies such as the People's Liberation Army, Federal Civil Defense Administration, and EMHSA have adopted a maintenance and inspection program to check the operation of these products. With the increased testing of outdoor warning sirens, several governments have replaced older devices with newer ones.

Due to this move, the market has witnessed a significant increase in the demand for these devices in the last couple of years. Several government initiatives to test the outdoor warning sirens regularly also create a number of opportunities for the replacement of the old sirens which in turn drives the demand and growth of the outdoor warning sirens market upwards.

“Emerging Technologies Increasing the Sales of Outdoor Warning Sirens”

The demand for public security devices has increased over the past decade, this has positively impacted the growth of the outdoor warning sirens market. These devices are also being used for industrial purposes to alert authorities about a harmful liquid or gas spill alerts.

With the increasing demand for outdoor warning sirens, the major manufacturers in the market are also adopting newer technologies such as the Emergency Alert System (EAS) which encourages citizens to switch on their televisions or radios for further instructions, and an increased range of the device.

Various economies are going through a seismic shift by replacing old devices with modern technology laser sirens. The market is poised to grow at a CAGR of 3.4%. Therefore, to fulfill the demand from various governments, manufacturers are also adopting emerging technologies and increasing their sales figures, which in turn drives the growth of the outdoor warning sirens.

What Concerns Should Outdoor Warning Sirens Manufacturers Avert?

“High Installation and Maintenance Cost”

Outdoor warning sirens have a long lifecycle of about 25-30 years, and also, to supplement this long life, the usage of these devices is quite less. Due to this, the replacement of these products is comparatively less. In various countries, sirens are being used for a time period that varies between a years or a few decades, as a result, several agencies have adopted various programs to maintain these sirens.

Some of the sirens are being replaced, whereas a large number of them are getting repaired. The accessories prices are also quite high. In 2017, the price of replacement of batteries in these sirens was about US$ 650-700. Adding the maintenance cost to this, a total bill of about US$ 6,500 was generated. The high maintenance cost and less replacement of the product also hamper the outdoor warning sirens market growth over the forecast period.
