Fire Suppression System Demand Analysis 2015-2021 vs. Market Outlook 2022-2032

According to Fact.MR- market research and competitive intelligence provider- fire suppression systems sales expanded at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2015 to 2021, reaching US$ 17 Bn by the end of the aforementioned historical period. As construction and industrial activity keep flourishing, demand for advanced fire safety measures is rising, promoting the use of fire suppression systems.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the industry experienced varying degrees of fluctuations. In the initial months of the lockdown, demand contracted significantly, attributed to cessation of industrial and construction activity. Eventually, this was offset with the lifting of restrictions. On the residential and commercial front, however, demand continued to incline, as hospitals and houses enforced fire safety precautions to prevent casualties in case of accidents.

In the forecast period, demand for fire suppression systems are expected to be reliant on a resurgent and unceasing construction industry, particularly across emerging economies of the Asia Pacific. Furthermore, revision of legal fire safety standards by governments combined with deployment of smart fire safety technologies will further broaden growth scope of the market. From 2022 to 2032, the industry is slated to surge at a CAGR of 5.2%.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers Influencing Fire Suppression Systems Market Growth?

Promulgation of Stringent Fire Safety Regulations Widening Prospects

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), over 1.3 million fire incidences were reported in the United States. These incidences caused over 3000 deaths and property loss of worth US$ 10.6 billion.

Due to this, NFPA has enacted guidelines for commercial business infrastructures to deploy fire suppression system such as sprinklers and clean agent suppression systems. Additionally, NFPA has included two important requirements of regular maintenance and training of personnel of the clean agent fire suppression systems.

Various enterprises across the world have increased their expenditure on fire suppression for safeguarding infrastructure and reducing human losses. Enterprises rely on equipment such as sensors and detectors, fire sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and other devices to implement fire suppression systems within their premises. This increase in spending by a number of enterprises and SMEs worldwide to safeguard human lives and property is driving the demand for fire suppression systems.

Rising Deployment of Automated Fire Detection Systems Generating New Growth Opportunities

Almost every industry, including fire safety and suppression, is experiencing widespread penetration of automation, smart technology and IoT. Recent years have experienced increased reliance on human-machine interface (HMI) based firefighting systems. Electromechanical devices, including switches, keypads and pointing devices are integrated with HMIs to control equipment involved in suppressing fires.

This has translated into numerous product and technology launches in the past few years. For instance, Honeywell International’s HS-81 Fire and Gas (F&G) Controller manages detection, notification and extinguishing functions. This all-in-one solution is meant for both process areas and personnel stations.

It can perform flame, smoke and gas detection, and manage extinguishing/agent release. It features a unique ‘hot swap’ capability for the replacement and auto-configuration of CPUs and power supplies without the need to perform a critical system shutdown.

Region-wise Analysis

How Lucrative are Fire Suppression Systems Revenue Prospects across North America?

Mandatory Government Directives promoting Fire Safety widening Prospects

North America promises to generate attractive market growth prospects for fire suppression systems, expected to accumulate around 42% revenue in 2022 and beyond. Presence of strict fire safety regulations to avoid accidents and tragedies is the chief growth driver.

In June 2021, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) released a new report on the status of fire hazards across the United States. As per its findings, while the incidence of fire hazards have reduced dramatically, unfortunately, fire safety standards have taken a backseat to other concerns that seem more pressing. Hence, it emphasized the need to reiterate these safety standards.

The report also concludes that the most successful recipe for fire safety in built-in environments is the implementation of fire safety technologies through mandated codes and standards. Approaching fire safety as a system, and not individual bits and pieces, provides an opportunity to unravel the complex and ongoing fire safety challenge for society. Additionally, major scope lies in combating wildfires, which have been responsible for catastrophic deaths and incalculable loss to property.

How Lucrative will the Asia-Pacific be in the Fire Suppression System Market?

Increase in Commercial and Residential Construction Projects to Widen Demand

Globally, the construction industry has accrued impressive gains across the Asia Pacific in recent years. In spite of a globally prevalent recession, the region has been able to successfully weather out this trend. Region-wise Asia Pacific accounts for 40% of global construction spending since the past decade. This is in response to rapid advancements in living standards, amid burgeoning affluence.

Given this promising scope, the need to establish robust infrastructure, complete with highly advanced safety measures, has propelled the need for installing high-grade fire suppression systems across the region. Since 2019, the Confederation of Fire Protection Association (CFPA) Asia has collaborated with the International Fire Safety Standards Coalition (IFSSC) to reinforce the best practices professionals should adhere to with respect to fire safety during construction.

Several countries have established robust regional frameworks to promote domestic fire safety, besides the aforementioned international coalition. For instance, in 2021, Vietnam promulgated the National Technical Regulation on Fire Safety for Building and Constructions, which applies to new construction remodeling, repair and functional changes. As per Fact.MR, the region is forecast to experience a CAGR worth 7.3% from 2022-2032.
