Global Public Address and Voice Alarm Systems Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Type (Centralized and Distributed), By Component (Loudspeaker, Controllers, Amplifier, Microphone), By Technology, By Vertical, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 - 2028

The Global Public Address And Voice Alarm Systems Market size is expected to reach $4.2 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 7.7% CAGR during the forecast period.

Public address and voice alarm (PAVA) systems broadcast information to vast crowds of people in commercial and public settings, such as train and metro stations, workplaces, and hotels, from a single source or several sources. It offers auditory announcements, background music, as well as emergency notifications in a variety of contexts. This system normally includes a network of loudspeakers, amplifiers, microphones, evacuation devices, voice alarm controllers, volume controllers, digital IP systems, and various other accessories.

In a variety of locations, including transportation hubs like airports and train stations, commercial structures like hotels and retail centers, healthcare institutions like hospitals and clinics, and industrial settings like factories and warehouses, PAVA systems are frequently employed. In addition, they are often employed in public areas like parks and plazas to give information and entertainment.

PAVA systems allow a person's voice or music to be heard throughout a large area or structure. For stronger volume, broader coverage, or wider dispersion, such as that needed to transmit sound throughout an outdoor setting or entertainment venue, a PAVA system may have several microphones as well as other sound resources.

Traditional fire alarm systems start evacuating a building with bells or sounders. Unfortunately, bells or sounders can cause confusion, panic, and delay in the evacuation of the building in emergencies where residents are not used to routine evacuation drills. Public address systems are an efficient way to properly communicate instructions and information to a sizable region or structure used by both the general public and staff.

The ability to inform residents of the best escape path and hasten response times are two benefits of combining the voice alarm with fire detection systems. In addition, a pre-recorded message can be played during an incident and will clearly state what has to be done. Given today's threats, PAVA systems can potentially deliver emergency warnings in situations other than fire. Therefore, the installation of PAVA systems in public buildings is advised by BS 5839-8:2013.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative influence on the public address and voice alarm systems market. Manufacturing and production facilities worldwide were shut down due to the pandemic and a lack of labor as governments of many countries imposed and extended lockdowns. It has been calculated that the market experienced a decline between 2019 and 2020. This decline was reported by numerous industry experts from different sections of the value chain, including OEMs, end users, suppliers, integrators, and distributors, as well as the financial disclosure of different companies.

Market Growth Factors

Increasing focus on R&D by major businesses due to the need for fast and smart PAVA systems

The demand is growing due to the widespread acceptance of voice-based systems in the fire and safety sectors. In addition, the need for these systems is further rising due to improved rules and guidelines by various governments, which are reaching lower market strata and creating the mass market potential to spur growth. This will probably encourage more businesses to enter the market, frequently offering complacent goods at lower costs than competitors. Due to growing competition pressure, tier-I businesses will increasingly focus on high-value applications for smart building protection and infrastructure protection to maintain their leadership. Therefore, the increasing R&D efforts will ensure the growth of the public address and voice alarm systems market in the coming years.

Greater emphasis on adopting safety devices

The intricacy of escape routes or emergency exits has increased to match the sheer variety of modern and contemporary designs. Furthermore, social factors, such as an older population with physical disabilities or impairments who may need assistance, make it more important to be ready for every eventuality. In light of this, a new technology that can make evacuation faster and safer by adapting to different scenarios is combined with a better awareness of the risks. Additionally, these abilities of PAVA systems have increased their use in public settings. Hence, the increasing demand for maintaining the security and safety of people has increased the demand for PAVA systems, which in turn benefits the market's growth.

Market Restraining Factors

Greater expenses for installation and upkeep

All PAVA systems are also limited because of the possibility of audio feedback, which happens when audio from the speakers has amplified again and relayed through the speakers. The cost of more advanced versions also rises significantly, especially considering the potential need for additional wires, wireless hubs, and adaptors. All of this depends on the hardware and installation requirements for a person or business's PAVA system. Therefore, the huge costs of systems and their upkeep may hamper the growth of the public address and voice alarm systems market.

Component Outlook

Based on component, the public address and voice alarm systems market is categorized into microphone, loudspeaker, controllers, amplifier, and others. The microphones segment procured a considerable growth rate in the public address and voice alarm systems market in 2021. The segment's expansion is owed to the widespread use of microphones in most PAVA systems. A microphone is a device that helps increase the volume of an audio source and can be used to start the transmission. This device converts sound into electrical signals. Typically, dynamic or condenser microphones are utilized in public address systems.

Technology Outlook

On the basis of technology, the public address and voice alarm systems market is divided into analog system, digital system, and IP system. The IP system segment recorded a significant revenue share in the public address and voice alarm systems market in 2021. The communication function is provided by intercom devices and network-attached amplifiers. A computer application communicates a digital audio stream through a local area network at the transmission end by employing audio from the device's sound card connections or from previously recorded audio.

Vertical Outlook

Based on vertical, the public address and voice alarm systems market is segmented into commercial building, hospitality, industrial, transportation, and others. The industrial segment witnessed the maximum revenue share in the public address and voice alarm systems market in 2021. A wide range of industrial sectors uses PAVA systems to deliver clear, audible messages and alerts regarding safety and emergency situations to workers and visitors. These systems can also be used to make general announcements in industries. Dealing with safety and security issues requires effective voice evacuation and public address systems.

Type Outlook

On the basis of type, the public address and voice alarm systems market is bifurcated into distributed and centralized. The centralized segment procured the highest revenue share in the public address and voice alarm systems market in 2021. The loudspeaker lines carry the tone of a high-level frequency unheard by the end-of-line modules, certifying their continued integrity by reporting back to the defect monitoring panel. This method is incredibly dependable. Centralized systems are highly efficient for grounds, gymnasiums, parks, etc, and their efficiency is the primary factor driving the growth of the market.

Regional Outlook

Region wise, the public address and voice alarm systems market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. The Europe region recorded the largest revenue share in the public address and voice alarm systems market in 2021. The primary reasons driving the need for public address and voice alarm systems market expansion in Europe are growing urbanization, the rise in per capita income, and the investment in PAVA systems across key industries. Rapid growth in transit systems have further increased the number of terminals that necessitate the installation of PAVA systems.
