Fire Protection Systems Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Product (Detection Systems, Suppression System, Fire Sprinklers, Others), By End Users (Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Healthcare, Oil & Gas, Food And Beverage, Chemical, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027

The global fire protection system market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.05% during the forecast period, reaching a total market size of US$77.321 billion in 2027 from US$51.270 billion in 2020.

Stringent regulations regarding workers’ safety across different industries are the major driver of the fire protection system market. Fire protection systems are made according to the governments’ specified standards and regulations. The market is driven due to the growing awareness and requirement for fire protection systems to be installed in buildings and factories. There is a high risk of fire in risk-prone industries such as manufacturing, oil & gas, and energy and power which, in turn, is propelling the market growth of the fire protection system. Increasing cases of natural calamity are further contributing to the market growth of the fire protection system.

Strict and mandatory building safety codes are pressurizing building management companies to install a fire protection system. Hence, the rising construction of buildings, both residential and commercial, is positively impacting the market growth of fire protection systems. Increasing investments in smart cities provide a great opportunity to fire protection system manufacturers to expand their market share which will fuel the market growth during the forecast period. Smart cities are most likely to demand automation technologies related to fire protection systems like wireless sensory networks and centralized protection systems connected to LAN/WAN networks.

The global fire protection system market is segmented by product, end-user, and geography. By product, the market is segmented into detection systems and suppression systems. The global fire protection system market is also segmented by end-user as residential, commercial, and industrial. The industrial sector is further segmented into healthcare, oil & gas, food & beverage, chemicals, and others.

Rising demand for suppression systems

The suppression system uses a combination of dry chemicals and wet agents to control and extinguish the fire. The automatic suppression system is the most widely used fire protection system owing to its large-scale use in large commercial buildings like schools, hotels, and hospitals, as it requires low setup costs. The demand for suppression systems is further expected to grow in the forecast period due to the rising construction of smart cities across different regions supported by government mandates to install fire protection systems. The detection system market will also grow at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period as it allows users to respond quickly and take rapid action in case of a fire breakout.

By end-user, the industrial segment holds a significant market share

The industrial segment accounted for the major share of the global fire protection system market in 2019. Growing industries such as oil & gas, chemical, and automotive around the world are significantly spurring the market growth of fire protection systems. The high use of fire protection systems by oil & gas in onshore and offshore facilities, gas plants, refineries, chemical, and petrochemical plants is driving the market for fire protection systems. Growing healthcare infrastructure is bolstering the demand for fire protection systems across this sector to effectively detect, contain, and extinguish fires quickly. The rising construction of office spaces, hotels, and shopping complexes is driving the market growth of fire protection systems across the commercial sector to minimize the risk of potential fire hazards. The residential sector will witness a substantial CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising investments, both public and private, to boost the construction of residential buildings to house the ever-increasing population.

By geography, North America is one of the major regional markets

Regionally, the fire protection system market is classified into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific. North America is expected to have a notable market share in the fire protection system market due to the strict workers’ safety regulations coupled with the presence of major market players in the region. High investments to ramp up the infrastructural development in North American countries also contribute to the market growth of the fire protection system in this region. For instance, the Canadian government has planned to invest a total of US$139 billion under the ‘Investing in Canada Plan’ in key infrastructure sectors through 2028. APAC will witness significant market growth during the projected period. The growth of this regional market is attributed to the increasing number of production facilities across various end-user industries like energy and power, food and beverage, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, which require protection from fire to safeguard their employees and assets. Furthermore, supportive government policies and initiatives to focus on workers’ safety are also propelling market growth in this region.
