Fire Hydrant Market Analysis and Forecast to 2031: By Product Type (Dry Barrel, Wet Barrel), Operating Type (Conventional, Smart), Construction (Underground, Above Ground), End-user (Commercial, Industrial), and Region
The global fire hydrant market was valued at US$ 1.1 billion in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow up to US$ 1.8 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.
Hydrants are water extraction devices used in pipelines and water distribution systems. A fire hydrant can ensure quick water supply in the event of a fire. The connections to the pipes are tapped with hydrant wrenches and hydrant standpipes, and the fire vehicles are then attached. The tops of hydrants are coloured to signify the amount of flow they can produce in gallons per minute (gallon per minute). Over 1,500 gallons per minute in blue (gallon per minute), 1000 to 1,499 gallon per minute in green, 500 to 999 gallon per minute in orange, red indicates that the flow rate is less than 500 gallon per minute.
Global Fire Hydrant Market Scope and Report Structure
Market Drivers and Trends
The global market for fire hydrant systems is developing as a result of rising service requirements from industrial and commercial clients. Governments around the world have chosen to enforce severe fire safety standards, resulting in an increase in demand for fire hydrant systems.
The global market for fire hydrant systems is predicted to grow at a reasonable rate in the future years. The deployment of smart nodes or wireless sensors is the key trend in the fire hydrant systems industry. The latest market trend is to use less water more efficiently. Wireless sensors, also known as smart nodes, are used in fire hydrant systems to attain such efficiency since maintenance is less expensive and the action is lightning fast.
Market Restraints and Challenges
The market for fire hydrant systems is quite large, but there are some limitations that must be overcome. The cost of installation and maintenance is the most significant barrier, followed by the need for testing and certifications. Fire prevention technologies that are more efficient and cost-effective are required. Exams and certifications, on the other hand, are unavoidable.
Global Fire Hydrant Market Segmental Overview
The report analyses the global fire hydrant Market based on product type, operating type, construction, end-user, and region.
Global Fire Hydrant Market by Product Type
Based on product type, it is bifurcated into dry barrel and wet barrel. The dry barrel category is anticipated to hold a considerable part of the fire hydrant industry based on product type. This can be due to the greater use of dry barrel fire hydrants in colder climate locations. Dry barrel hydrants are intended for use in colder climates since the barrels above ground keep dry and the water main is positioned below ground, preventing it from freezing. Furthermore, as fire hydrant systems evolve around the world, manufacturers are merging both the wet and dry barrel qualities to create a hybrid fire hydrant, such as wet-top dry barrel hydrants, that can work in a variety of conditions. This is projected to help the industry even more during the forecast period.
Global Fire Hydrant Market by Operating Type
Based on operating type, the market is bifurcated into conventional and smart. Because of its superior features, Smart Fire Hydrant accounted for the majority of the market share. Intelligent fire hydrants offer significant opportunities for facility management service companies. Sensors or artificial intelligence can be used to control these hydrants (AI). Key players are utilizing IoT technology to detect fires through the usage of sensors. This accounts for larger market growth throughout the forecast period.
Global Fire Hydrant Market by Construction
Based on construction, the fire hydrant market is bifurcated into underground and above ground. The above ground segment is expected to grow during the forecast period, as the underground fire hydrants cause too many complications. Hooking up is more difficult, hoses kink, and you have to get down on the ground to work with them. Snakes, black widows, and other insects are getting into them. Snakes, black widows, and other insects will get into them. But above-ground hydrants may be reached and hooked up in under a minute using a five-inch hose. Drop the cap, flush the hydrant, turn it off, connect the hose, and turn it back on when the engine says so and also making the hydrant adapt to smart environment is highly possible in above ground segment. Using it is simple and quick. Due to the reason the above ground segment is expected to grow during the forecast period.
Global Fire Hydrant Market by End-User
Based on end-user, the fire hydrant market is bifurcated into commercial and industrial. The industrial segment is likely to dominate the market during the forecast period. All industries and business entities are obligated to have safety measures on their premises. The increased development of industrial buildings is the primary driver of the fire hydrant market's expansion.
As the population grows, so does the demand for hospitals, and industries such as oil, gas, and other manufacturing businesses that use volatile substances such as crude oil, flammable gases, and petroleum necessitate the use of fire hydrants due to the increased risk of fire accidents. In addition, rising urbanization, industrialization, and increased awareness of asset safety are driving up demand for fire hydrant resources.
Geographical Analysis of Global Fire Hydrant Market
Region-wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The Asia Pacific segment is likely to dominate the market in terms of market share in 2021. With the growing population of APAC nations, an increasing number of factories, hospitals, commercial complexes, and residential constructions are projected to be built during the next few years. This clearly reflects the region's high demand for fire hydrant systems.
Furthermore, the market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a significant rate during the forecast period due to the adoption of higher safety practices, an increase in commercial places such as shopping malls and offices, and large piping systems covering longer distances in countries such as China, India, Japan, and other Southeast Asian countries.
Major Players in the Global Fire Hydrant Market
The key players studied in the global fire hydrant market are American Cast Iron Company(U.S.), AVK International A/S(Denmark), Bocciolone Antincendio(Italy), Ej Group, Inc.(U.S.), Imp Armature d.o.o(Solvenia), Kupferle Foundry Company(U.S.), Mueller Co. LLC(U.S.), M&H Valve Company(U.S.), Newage Fire Protection Services Pvt, Ltd.(India), and Rapidrop Global Ltd.(UK).
COVID-19 Impact
COVID-19 had a large and beneficial influence on the market. The increasing number of patients infected with COVID-19 and the increasing rate of hospitalization during this period increased demand for medicinal devices that prevent infection spread.
Since March 2020, the COVID-19 virus outbreak has been hitting every business worldwide. The ever-increasing number of virus-infected patients has prompted governments to impose restrictions on the movement of people and products. To stop the spread of the virus, the manufacturing and construction industries, academic institutions, shopping malls, and office buildings have all been temporarily shut down. Furthermore, due to a lack of raw materials and labour during the lockdown, the affected fire hydrant production activities have come to a standstill. As a result, the global market has been affected for several months by a halt in construction operations and lockdowns, and a delayed recovery is projected over the forecast period.
