Global Fire Hose Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Fire hose refers to several different types of hose specifically designed for use in fighting fires by carrying water or other fire retardants. The most common one consists of one or more outer layers of woven fabric with an inner layer of rubber. It is usually manufactured with threaded metal connections on each end. Unlike other hoses, most fire hose is designed to be stored flat to minimize the space required.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Fire Hose market finds that the global Fire Hose market reached a value of USD 2653.74 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 3554.24 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.99% during the forecast period.

Negative impact of Covid-19 on supply chain as well as market demand

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a number of challenges for industrial manufacturers globally, particularly those who rely on workers to work remotely. Amid plummeting oil prices and demand, supply chain bottlenecks, slowing spending and volatile credit markets, some major industrial companies have closed facilities and are considering the extent of layoffs to help contain the spread of the virus, as well as for economic reasons. Clearly, the manufacturing sector has been hard hit by the outbreak for two main reasons. First, many manufacturing jobs are performed on site and cannot be performed remotely. Second, the slowdown in economic activity has reduced the demand for industrial products in North America and globally. For fire hose companies, the suspension or slowdown of production activity in downstream companies will reduce demand for fire hose. At the same time, for fire hose companies that adopt a global supply chain strategy, the outbreak of COVID-19 has hampered the supply of raw materials for equipment.

Continuous innovation

Continuous innovation is one of the enduring trends in the fire hose industry. Due to the unique nature of fire hose applications, i.e., providing safety and security, buyers have high demands on the quality and performance of the fire hose. From residential to municipal, fire hose has different details required. When arriving at a fire scene, a more durable hose will prevent the possibility of damage during deployment. A more abrasion resistant outer jacket is critical to reducing the chance of puncture or failure when the hose is being dragged over concrete, sidewalks and other surfaces. The more resistant the hose is to twisting, the faster it can be installed. Easier and faster hose set-up on the fire scene will help firefighters reach the fire in the early stages of spread. Fire hose enterprises should take into account the user's all-round experience and constantly develop new products or new technologies. The trend in fire hose has been toward the use of lighter, stronger, lower-cost maintenance materials. This trend is expected to continue in the future as new materials and manufacturing methods are developed. Fire hose enterprises should clarify their market positioning and find the right market segment. In forming the product entity or in the process of offering the product, special elements should be created that are sufficiently different from other similar products to attract buyers and thus generate consumer preference and loyalty.

Fluctuations in the price of raw materials

As a manufactured product, the production of fire hose has the inherent characteristics of this industry, with raw material costs accounting for a high percentage of manufacturing costs. The risk of rising raw material prices and labor costs will limit the Company's operations. Therefore, the fluctuation of the unit price of raw materials will have a greater impact on the company's production costs. The company's raw materials are mainly divided into the outer and inner liner, the main material is various polymeric materials, rubber and plastics, all kinds of raw material types and specifications are numerous. If the future purchase price of raw materials continues to rise, the enterprise cannot digest the risk of price increases of raw materials through continued price increases, will have an adverse impact on the company's future operating results. In addition, human resources costs are also increasing year by year. In the future, as the fire hose business continues to expand and the level of economic development continues to increase, human resources costs will continue to rise, thereby affecting the Company's operating results.
