Fire Safety Equipment Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Solution (Detection, Suppression), By Application (Commercial, Industrial, Residential), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

Report Overview

The global fire safety equipment market size was estimated at USD 46.59 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% from 2022 to 2030. Rising demand for fire safety equipment for industries, such as utilities, automotive, manufacturing, energy and power, petrochemical, oil and gas exploration, mining, and construction is anticipated to drive the growth. Several developed and developing regions like Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific have implemented stringent regulations, which mandated the installation of fire safety equipment in the residential, industrial, and commercial sectors. These factors are driving the demand for the growth of the market.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the fire safety market adversely in the early quarters of 2020. This has resulted in a reduction in the installation of new fire safety equipment in industrial and commercial applications. However, increased spending on new construction activities and replacement of obsolete fire alarms and sprinklers and detectors are expected to witness the overall growth of the fire safety equipment market in the forthcoming years.

Reconstruction activities along with the implementation of safety codes against fire protection will positively impact market growth. Advancements in technology, including wireless alarm systems, smoke detectors, and water mist technology, will further boost the growth. The rise in awareness regarding fire safety equipment and the dangerous outcomes is expected to propel market growth. However, high replacement costs of traditional fire equipment would hamper the market growth.

The European Norm, National Fire Protection Act, among many other local regulations as well as listings, building codes, and approvals by nationally recognized testing laboratories have mandated the construction authorities to equip the infrastructures with adequate fire suppression and detection systems. Moreover, insurance companies provide incentives to infrastructure owners for installing such equipment, which is expected to drive the fire safety equipment market further.

Application Insights

The industrial application segment dominated the market with a revenue share of over 40% in 2021. This segment includes oil and gas, transportation sectors, energy and power, and manufacturing. These sectors emphasize the installation of fire safety equipment due to the high risk involved. The oil and gas sectors are highly prone to fire accidents due to flammable materials' involvement. Government regulations to safeguard workers from fire accident is propelling the demand for fire safety equipment.

Based on application, the market is segmented into industrial, residential, and commercial. The residential segment is expected to register the highest CAGR over the forecast period. In the past couple of years, the demand for fire safety equipment has increased significantly across this sector owing to the rising awareness about fire safety equipment and their benefits. The growing infrastructure development in developed and developing countries is also anticipated to fuel the growth.

Solution Insights

Based on solution, the market for fire safety equipment is segmented into fire suppression and fire detection. Fire detection dominated the market and accounted for more than 60% share of the global revenue in 2021. This growth can be attributed to increasing policies, regulations, and government mandates, along with the use of advanced technology in detection devices. Furthermore, the growing number of fire accidents globally has compelled the need to install fire safety equipment.

The fire detection segment is anticipated to expand at the highest CAGR of 7.2 % from 2022 to 2030. The rapid development in commercial construction and growing smart city projects will boost the demand for fire detection equipment during the forecast period. Furthermore, increased consumer spending on construction activities owing to the availability of disposable income and growing awareness about the fire detectors is expected to drive the growth of the market in near future.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market in 2021 and was valued at USD 17.95 billion. The U.S. and Canada significantly contributed to the growth due to the rapid commercial and industrial construction development. Stringent fire safety regulations and norms are propelling regional growth. For instance, in the U.S., the Fire Code, a model code, is adopted by local and state jurisdictions and is enforced by fire prevention officers belonging to municipal fire departments. Rising concerns related to fire safety and security and the quick adoption of advanced technologies are also driving regional growth.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to register the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The Asia Pacific is a developing region, and countries such as India, China, and Japan are expected to drive the growth of the regional market. Factors such as the rapid urbanization and industrialization in emerging nations are expected to boost the demand for fire safety equipment in the region. The strong presence of sensor manufacturing companies and a high level of production of fire safety equipment are other significant factors that are anticipated to contribute to the growth of the segment in near future.
