In addition, there are three main fire suppressants an ARFF vehicle can carry: dry chemicals, water, and firefighting foam.

Airport Firefighting Trucks Market Scope and Structure Analysis

Market Trends & Drivers

There has been an increase in the demand for fire safety amongst the developed countries such as the U.S., Germany, Austria, and the UK among others. In addition, the need for advanced firefighting and rescue equipment is expected to augment the airport firefighting trucks market growth. Besides, increasing standards for fire safety by governments of different countries globally are anticipated to aid the growth of the airport firefighting trucks market.

The major function of airport firefighting trucks comprises transportation of firefighters at airports where fire accident has occurred and quenching the fire with some chemical composition or water. Besides, government departments globally have made it mandatory to employ these vehicles at airports for rescue operations and medical emergency services. Further, technological improvements and product innovation in the field of airport firefighting trucks have reduced the fatality rate at airport fire-related events. This, in turn, is providing remunerative opportunities to the market players.

Market Restraints & Challenges

One of the major factors hindering the global airport firefighting truck market growth is the high initial and maintenance cost of these vehicles. The capital cost of owning an airport firefighting vehicle is quite high. The cost is high mainly due to the complexity of the machine. In addition, they require huge operation and maintenance costs.
