Global Fire Suppression Equipment Market Overview, 2029

A fire suppression system utilises a mix of wet agents and/or dry chemicals to smother or extinguish a fire in a specific area. Fire suppression comes in a variety of typical forms, including as CO2, FM 200, wet chemical, and dry chemical suppression. In general, fire control agents or media include water, foam, CO2, steam, inert gases, and dry chemical powders. Fire suppression systems include both extinguishing equipment and fire alarm systems. Alarm and extinction systems are established permanently. The increase can be ascribed to the increased focus on minimising fatalities and infrastructure damage brought on by fire outbreaks, as well as to consumers' growing awareness of the most recent fire prevention technologies. One of the crucial systems that are put in structures or organisations is fire suppression systems. When a fire disaster occurs, fire suppression systems are crucial for protecting buildings and infrastructure. The market's expansion is anticipated to be aided by the rising demand for environmentally friendly fire suppression systems. At the annual NoAW (No Agriculture Waste) meeting earlier in 2021, Win Time Technology of Taiwan unveiled a cutting-edge, environmentally friendly fire extinguisher. NoAW is a European Horizon 2021 research and development project. The product afterwards gained worldwide acclaim from more than 20 nations. Continuous residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects as well as the emphasis on and growing preference for installing environmentally friendly fire suppression systems in newly built infrastructure are encouraging signs for the market's expansion over the course of the forecast period.

According to the research report "Global Fire Suppression Equipment Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the Global Fire Suppression Equipment market is expected to reach a market size of more than USD 25.6 Billion by 2029, with the CAGR of 6.05% from 2024 to 2029. A group of engineered units assembled to extinguish a fire can be termed a fire suppression system. Usually, it has built-in components that enable fire detection right through the start by the warning signals like heat & smoke. The market is highly growing with the introduction of smart detector concepts, which include IoT and big data technologies. Even though these new advanced technologies are expensive, they are easy to use and can be easily connected to mobile through internet networks. The demand for fire suppression systems is anticipated to increase throughout the projected period due to an increase in the need for fire protection systems from manufacturing facilities and incumbents of different industries and industry verticals, including oil and gas, energy, and electricity. It is also projected that the adoption of fire suppression systems in residential and commercial premises would be fueled by regulatory demands on the adoption of fire safety standards in response to the rising number of fire incidents throughout the world. The installation of fire suppression systems is now required by insurance companies before they will insure any structure. As a result, more homes, residential units, hotels, schools, hospitals, restaurants, and workplaces are installing fire suppression systems.

The overall fire suppression system market is classified broadly into two segments by systems, which are: Fire Extinguisher and Sprinklers. The fire sprinkler system releases water to curb the fire and can get activated through heat or smoke. The market is dominated by the sprinkler segment, which is also likely to be growing with a high futuristic growth rate. The major reason for this can be cited as this equipment is less expensive and also they work on water, which reduces the overall cost. One of the considerable drawbacks of the sprinkler system is that the use of water can be ineffective in certain cases. The market is expected to rise during the projected period thanks to the ongoing building and infrastructure development as well as the rising public awareness of fire dangers. The use of fire suppression systems is likely to be accelerated by aggressive infrastructure development, particularly in major and growing economies like India, Japan, France, and the United Kingdom. On the other side, the need for intelligent fire suppression systems is being driven by technological advancements.


Stable HMI solutions are required for fire suppression systems to operate at their highest level of effectiveness. Electromechanical components including switches, keypads, keyboards, pointing devices, and other parts like indicators and alarms are integrated with HMIs to operate fire suppression equipment and systems. In order to address the increasingly particular requirements of industrial, transportation, oil & gas, energy & power, public access/security, and lifting/moving applications, significant developments in HMI component technology have been accomplished throughout time. There is a lot of space for expansion in this market for fire suppression systems throughout the forecasted period. The use of fire suppression systems is seen high in the industrial setting. Particularly the oil, gas, and mining industries are in constant need of safety given the high quantity of flammable substances and the huge loss of capital involved. The sprinklers are commonly found in the mining, oil, and gas sectors. In 2023, the dry chemical powder sector controlled the market and generated more than 30% of the total revenue. Dry chemical powder extinguishers contain an inert material that, by building a coating and shutting off the air supply, may put out a variety of flames. They are more affordable than extinguishers that use clean agents. One of the most often utilised fire-extinguishing substances is water. Class "A" fires including common solid combustibles such textiles, wood, plastics, coal, and paper are best put out with water. In such circumstances, water may generally seep through furniture and bedding, cool the fire, and stop any more fires from starting.

In 2023, the industrial sector dominated the market. The use of fire suppression systems in several sectors and industry verticals, including oil and gas, transportation, energy and electricity, and manufacturing, is covered under the industrial section. The incumbents in these sectors and industry verticals have been aggressively stressing the installation of fire suppression systems to put out flames within large machinery after realising that industrial premises are at a significant risk of fire mishaps. Heavy machinery installation requires significant financial outlays, thus industrial building owners and managers place a high priority on keeping such equipment safe from fire risks. The installation of fire suppression equipment in industrial premises is also driven by governmental rules requiring precautions to protect worker safety. Over the past few years, installation of fire sprinkler systems in residential buildings has gained a lot of momentum. The active marketing initiatives run by well-known fire safety equipment makers and public safety organisations, together with the consequent rise in end-user knowledge of the need of ensuring fire safety, are anticipated to fuel the residential segment's growth.



North America's leadership in the fire suppression equipment industry can be attributed to several interconnected factors, with the most significant being the region’s robust regulatory framework, industrial growth, and commitment to technological advancement. For example, NFPA 13, which dictates the standards for the installation of sprinkler systems, has driven widespread adoption of automatic sprinklers in commercial properties, industrial facilities, and even residential buildings. Regular updates to these codes mean businesses must frequently upgrade their systems to stay compliant, driving continual demand for more efficient and modern fire suppression technologies. The rapid pace of industrialization in North America also plays a critical role in fueling the demand for fire suppression equipment. The region has a significant number of high-risk industries, including manufacturing, chemical processing, oil and gas, and energy production, all of which require specialized fire suppression systems due to the high potential for fire hazards. Factories, refineries, and warehouses typically house large quantities of flammable materials or operate heavy machinery that generates substantial heat, making fire suppression systems a necessity. The expansion of these sectors has increased the need for advanced fire suppression solutions that can not only contain but also quickly extinguish fires in complex environments. The United States, in particular, is a leader in industrial automation, and this has driven the demand for intelligent fire suppression systems that can be integrated into broader industrial control systems. These systems can detect fires, suppress them automatically, and even communicate with emergency response teams in real time, offering unparalleled levels of protection in high-risk environments.
