The global connected personal alarm market is expected to reach USD 250.9 million by 2027 with the CAGR of 18.0%.
The demand for connected personal alarms is growing due to increasing threats against women and children. According to the UN organization, 71% of victims of human trafficking are women and girls globally. Child trafficking victims include both boys and girls aged 1–18 years.
According to the Walk Free Foundation and International Labour Organization (ILO), 15.4 million victims (i.e., 75%) are aged 18 or above, while the number of children aged below 18 is estimated at 5.5 million (i.e., 25%). Although many android applications are available for women’s safety, most of them are inefficient. Therefore, a connected personal alarm can be beneficial for women and children’s safety.
COVID-19: A Threat to the Worldwide Linked Personal Alarm Market
The outbreak of the current coronavirus pandemic is projected to cause a gradual decline in the sector. Due to labor shortages, manufacturing operations have come to a halt, which has resulted in a steep drop in demand from end-use industries. As a result, the supply chain mechanism will be disrupted, and demand will decrease. The pandemic’s adverse effects are already evident, and they are affecting the connected personal alarm market.
