Global Fire Protection Materials Market – Overview
Materials used to protect against fire are called fire protection materials. Both active and passive fireplace protection units are utilized in architectural and technological structures. While passive fireplace protection primarily aims to contain fires or slow their spread, active fireplace protection also includes automatic fireplace detection and suppression systems. The purpose of a fireside protection system is to maintain a building component's temperature (structural steel part, electrical installation) below the critical temperature during a fire, but it is also intended to temporarily contain a fireplace within the origin fire compartment.
The risk of a life-threatening fire increases when conditions and environments are concentrated. This has increased the demand for integrated and effective passive fire protection not only in buildings but also in other industries to reduce risk and protect human life, property, and the environment. Modern building frameworks are interspersed with numerous utility and network services, such as cables, pipes, and ventilation ducts, in both horizontal and vertical directions, resulting in numerous penetrations through the majority of the walls and floors. These passive fire-protectant materials are also needed by the oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation sectors in addition to the construction sector. Workers in the petrochemical and oil and gas industries are at great risk from unintentional fire outbreaks.
Opportunity: Increasing number of construction projects
It is expected that new building developments, both residential and commercial, will present new opportunities for installing fire alarm and detection systems. Commercial and industrial areas heavily rely on fire protection systems for employee safety. Additionally, a rise in the number of property losses brought on by fire incidents is driving the market. The rules, specifications, and codes imposed by various regulatory bodies also have an impact on the market for fire protection systems. Businesses have been forced to install fire suppression systems due to the rising standard. Throughout the projection period, these factors should accelerate market growth.
Challenge: Fluctuations in raw material prices
Several factors, including fluctuating raw material prices, are expected to impede the growth of the global market for fire protection materials. A finished product that has undergone extensive research and development costs more money. Many consumers—particularly those in developed and underdeveloped countries—cannot afford them because of price increases.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Fire Protection Materials Market
Due to the rise in COVID-19 cases brought on by the second wave of the outbreak, a partial lockdown was observed in several countries. As a result, the production of new fire protection systems was further decreased. The market suffered as a result of the supply chain disruption that took place in various countries and regions. But after the pandemic, the market for fire protection is expected to grow. Due to the expanding urban population and the need to safeguard people and the environment from potential fire emergencies, it is forecast that the demand for fire protection systems will rise.
Global Fire Protection Materials Market – By End User
According to end user, global fire protection materials market is segmented into the following sectors: Building & Construction (Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Infrastructural), Transportation (Automotive, Locomotive, Aerospace, and Marine), Electrical & Electronics, Oil & Gas Industry, and Others. The commercial segment, which includes building and construction, holds the majority of the market. The commercial application segment includes applications for retail, BFSI, government, healthcare, telecom, and IT educational institutions. The need for fire protection systems in commercial applications is growing because of the establishment of stringent government regulations for fire prevention and control around the world. To reduce the loss of life and property and to safeguard the infrastructure, businesses are also anticipated to increase their investments in fire protection systems.
