Fire Doors And Partitions Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Material (Metal, Glass, Timber), By Application (Residential, Commercial, Industrial), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2024 - 2030

Fire Doors & Partitions Market Size & Trends

The global fire doors and partitions market size was estimated at USD 31.30 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2024 to 2030. Rising usage of electrical appliances and equipment in various residential, commercial, and industrial settings and relatively increasing fire incidents are significantly driving the growth of the fire doors & partitions market. Further, the growth in the construction of high-rise buildings across the world and the challenges faced in case of fire incidents due to lack of accessibility. These challenges have led to increasing demand for the construction of technologically improved materials that will provide increased safety. Fire doors and partitions having fire-resistant or retardant characteristics play a vital role in these high-rise buildings in the events like fire breakout.

Fire doors and partitions are made from various materials such as metal, glass, timber, gypsum, etc. Material analysis is a crucial aspect of understanding this market as materials not only determine the effectiveness of fire doors and partitions in preventing the spread of fire but also influence their aesthetics, durability, cost, and regulatory compliance. Fire-resistant glass has gained popularity in fire doors and partitions, offering a blend of functionality and aesthetics.

Growing awareness about fire safety measures among property owners and the corporate sector also contributing significantly to the adoption of fire doors and partitions. As society becomes more knowledgeable about the risks and potential devastating effects of fires, there is a greater demand for effective fire safety solutions, installation, action, and proper maintenance of fire doors.

Drivers, Opportunities & Restraints

The market for fire doors and partitions has been gaining momentum due to increasing awareness about fire safety measures and stringent government regulations globally to ensure building safety. The ongoing construction boom in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors also propelled this growth in the fire door and partition market. Governments worldwide have implemented strict building codes and safety regulations requiring the installation of fire doors and partitions, propelling the demand for these products.

The rising number of construction projects, including new buildings and renovation of existing structures in both developed and developing countries, drives the demand for fire doors and partitions. Further, advancements in fire door technology, including smarter fire detection and control systems that can automatically close doors and clear escape routes in the event of a fire, are making fire doors more efficient and reliable.

Economic downturns or political instability can lead to reduced investment in new construction and infrastructure projects, directly impacting the demand for fire doors and partitions. Additionally, such uncertainties can lead to budget cuts or delays in public and private sector projects, further restraining market growth.

Material Insights

“The demand for glass segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 4.6% from 2024 to 2030 in terms of revenue”

The metal segment led the market and accounted for 39.2% of the global revenue share in 2023. This segment includes steel, which is one of the most common materials used for fire doors and partitions due to its high strength and fire resistance. Steel doors can resist fire for extended periods, from 30 minutes up to 120 minutes, depending on their construction.

The glass segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 4.6% over the forecast period. The glass is treated to withstand high temperatures, protecting against fire while allowing natural light and visibility. It is commonly used in office buildings, shopping malls, and spaces where aesthetic appeal is a priority. However, its fire resistance is typically lower than that of steel, making it suitable for applications requiring shorter fire protection periods.

Application Insights

“The demand for commercial segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 4.1% from 2024 to 2030 in terms of revenue”

The industrial segment led the market and accounted for significant market share of 42.1% in 2023. Industrial settings, including manufacturing plants, warehouses, and utility facilities, require robust fire safety systems to protect against potential fire outbreaks that could lead to significant financial losses and endanger lives.

The commercial segment is expected to grow at a second highest CAGR of 4.1% over the forecast period. Owing to the development of stringent fire safety regulations in commercial buildings, including office spaces, shopping malls, hotels, and educational institutions, the demand for fire doors & partitions is rapidly increasing.

Regional Insights

The region's stronghold is attributed to the stringent building codes, a high level of awareness regarding fire safety, and the presence of key manufacturers.
