Key Growth Drivers
- The introduction of smart technologies in fire safety is gaining momentum with the concept of Smart Connected Things (ScoT), which provides an accurate and efficient system for fire detection and suppression. SCoT alert the users about faulty sprinklers in the building and notifies them about the maintenance of the system from time to time.
- Corrosion in the fire suppression system is the major challenge that is derailing the growth of the fire safety equipment market. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), 73% of dry systems have corrosion issues. Dry system is a sprinkler system in which water is released with help of air thus ensuring that water doesn’t freeze in the system.
- The complete shutdown of the manufacturing units, delay in supplies, and decrease in demand were the biggest challenges faced by the fire safety equipment market during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Key Trends by Market Segment
By Product: The fire detection segment held the major market share in 2021, owing to the use of smart technologies in fire detection systems as well as the adoption of fire safety systems in buildings and houses.
- Fire Detection is further divided into detectors and alarms, which are used to detect and alert people regarding fire outbreaks.
- The advancements in the fire detection systems such as wireless alarms, new loudspeaker technologies, and new supervising station reporting technology i.e., wireless radio, cellular, and internet protocols are driving the growth.
- The NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code of National Fire Protection Association) focuses on providing the most up-to-date safety measures with respect to fire detection, such as signaling, and emergency communications. All such factors will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

By Technology: Passive fire protection systems segment is expected to hold the largest market share, by technology during the forecast period, as it helps to slow down or prevent the spread of fire and smoke from one room to another.
- Passive fire protection systems include floor ceilings, roof exhaust, fire doors, windows, wall assemblies, fire-resistant coatings, and other fire and smoke control assemblies as well as fire dampers that help to slow down and prevent fire.
- In Europe, BS EN 1364-1:2015 is a European standard that specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of non-loadbearing walls.
- In the US, ASTM E119 is the standard test method for fire tests of building construction and materials, such initiatives are likely to support the growth of fire safety equipment.
By Service: Installations & replacements segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period in the service segment, owing to the rise in installations of fire systems in the buildings.
- Installations & replacement services are increasing as an increase in the budget for fire safety systems in buildings and a variety of government norms for the standard fire safety equipment to be available in the area is acting as a driver for the segment.
- The system inspection & maintenance segment is expected to show the fastest growth during the forecast period as rapid installations of the fire safety system are making a way for maintenance of those earlier installed fire safety systems.
By Application: The industrial segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021, this is due to the use of fire safety systems in factories and manufacturing units to prevent the possible fire outbreak and minimize the damage to expensive machinery and workers.
- According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for the years 2011- 2015, there have been an average of 37,910 fires the in U.S for industrial or manufacturing properties each year, which accounted for the loss of US$1.2 billion in property damage and 16 Civilians deaths and making 273 other heavily injured.
- The industrial segment comprises oil & gas refineries, mining, energy and power, and manufacturing units thus fire safety systems have to be installed to avoid major fires in the future.
By Geography: North America Region accounted for the largest market share in 2021, due to strict fire safety rules and continuous structural developments.
- The rising demand for smart houses and buildings in the US which provide high security as well as new advanced fire system enabled with IoT and AI is acting as a driving factor for the North American market.
- The major manufacturers like Gentex Corp., Space Age Electronics, Honeywell International Inc., Napco Security Technologies, Inc., and Johnson Controls are all headquartered in the US.
