Summary

While the market for residential safes is relatively small, it has grown steadily in recent years, with retail sales bolstered by events such as Y2K, 9/11, hurricanes and wildfires. In the coming years, SBI expects marketing and the expansion of distribution channels to drive growth. Marketers will use concerns about fire- and weather-related catastrophes, not just burglary and theft, to emphasize the need to protect documents and valuables stored at home. Marketers will pay particular attention to gun owners, single-person households, households in which both spouses work outside of the home, home office workers and college students-just some of the key target demographics. Distribution will also continue to expand beyond traditional channels to discount stores, the Internet, and more.
