Signalling devices are equipment used to protect machinery and people across various sectors. These devices generate an alarm/signal to alert or warn about a specific hazard in both hazardous and non-hazardous environments.

Signalling devices have the potential to detect flaws in the system and lessen chances of accidents. They convey messages concerning machinery operating status of industrial equipment and manufacturing lines.

There are generally two types of signalling devices available in the market. These include audible signalling devices and visual signalling devices in the market. However, manufacturers are now shifting their focus on developing combined signalling devices.

For instance, E2S Warning Signals recently launched AL105NX alarm horn sounder & Xenon strobe. It is the industry standard for combined visual and audible signalling.

The new signalling devices (combination signalling devices) produce both an alarming sound as well as a visual flash signal. As a result, they are gaining immense traction across the world and will play a key role in boosting the overall market.

Signalling devices are generally connected to a control panel that triggers the signal in case of malfunction or trouble. Strobe lights and signal horns are few of the commonly used signalling devices used in industrial settings.

Companies in the contemporary world are striving hard to provide utmost safety to their employees and physical assets in factory premises. They are doing so by installing safety devices such as signalling devices and following safety norms to avoid hazards caused by flammable gasses, combustible dust, etc. at the workplace.

Growing usage of various signalling devices such as sirens, tower lights, and strobe beacons by companies to prevent potential hazards is expected to drive the global market swiftly.

Signalling devices are used in a wide range of applications ranging from hazardous area signalling to fire & industrial signalling. They have become critical components of safety management systems such as fire alarm systems, defense warning systems, dam safety systems, and earthquake warning systems.

By improving workplace safety, signalling devices help end users maintain high productivity and efficiency in various applications and sectors.

Increasing incidence of fire accidents globally coupled with rising focus on improving safety measures is expected to boost the global signalling devices industry.

In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in fire accidents globally, causing enormous damage to machinery, people, and property.

For instance, according to the Centre of Fire Statistics 2020 report of the International Association of Fire and Rescue Services, around 4.6 million fires and 30.8 thousand civilian fire deaths were reported by fire services across 46 countries in 2018.

Rise in fire accidents at an alarming rate is in turn compelling people to install fire alarm systems and signalling devices. Driven by this, global sales of signalling devices are likely to rise at a steady pace over the next ten years.

Rapid expansion of sectors such as oil & gas is anticipated to bolster signalling device sales. This is because signalling devices have become essential equipment in oil & gas stations to control and warn during emergencies.

Due to presence of highly explosive atmosphere, oil & gas sector is prone to high risks. As a result, emergency management systems such as fire alarms and lighting systems are becoming necessary in this sector. High adoption of these products will fuel market expansion during the assessment period.

Escalating demand for improved fire safety systems in sectors that are more prone to fire, such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, and power & utility is expected to create lucrative opportunities for signalling device manufacturers.

Leading companies are introducing novel signalling devices that meet regulatory standards. Products such as explosion and flame-proof signalling devices are gaining traction in the market.

For instance, recently E2S Warning Signals introduced GNExB2X05 Xenon Strobe Beacon. It is an explosion proof 5 joule Xenon beacon suitable for all Zone 1, 2, 21 & amp; 22 and Class I Div 2 hazardous location applications.

Further, lighting products are becoming popular due to the advent of light-emitting diode (LED) technologies.

Companies are also focusing on offering customized solutions which are likely to help them attract more and more customers.
