These systems are essential safety measures to suppress fire hazards, minimize property damage, and save lives. The fire protection system market is projected to have lucrative revenue growth owing to the rising demand for advanced fire protection systems that can provide early warning and automatic fire control during emergencies. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Producer Price Index (PPI) of fire extinguisher systems has reached 282.1 in August 2024 from 267.6 in August 2023. Government spending on fire protection systems is steadily increasing, evidenced by a Eurostat report in September 2023 stating the total expenditure on fire protection services in European Union countries increased by 2.5% in 2021 compared to 2020.
In August 2022, the International Association of Fire and Rescue Services (CTIF) estimated that 24.2% of all fires globally occur in residential buildings. Due to rising cases of fire hazards globally, the demand for advanced fire solutions has increased significantly. Key market players in the fire protection system sector are innovating new technologies for advanced fire protection. For instance, in August 2022, Honeywell announced the launch of a new fire detection and alarm system, Morley Max, that is designed to enable faster communication in case of a fire hazard.
Fire Protection System Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Stringent government regulations and building codes: Fire safety regulations across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors have become more stringent due to the rising cases of fire hazards globally. Governments are implementing stricter fire safety codes mandating the installation of advanced fire protection systems boosting the fire protection system market growth. For instance, in January 2023, the Fire Safety England Regulations made it mandatory for information on high-rise residential buildings to be provided to the local fire and rescue services. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) mandates that buildings that are 75 feet or higher and over 5,000 square feet require fire sprinklers to be installed. Strict enforcement of fire safety regulations is leading to a surge in demand for fire protection systems.
- Rising awareness of fire safety and risk mitigation: The growing awareness of fire safety among the general public and businesses is enabling fire protection system market growth. Public awareness of fire hazards and the large-scale costs incurred due to it is pushing for better fire protection systems. Consumers are more likely to choose personal or commercial properties with modern fire protection systems. Additionally, the rapid rate of urbanization with high-rise commercial and residential infrastructure fuels the need for advanced fire protection systems. In June 2024, Research Nester reported that the fatality rate per 1,000 home structure fires is 60% lower in homes with working smoke alarms compared to homes with no alarms. As smart homes increase, the demand for fire protection systems is expected to rise exponentially.
- Increasing percentage of forest fires: The rising frequency of forest fires has led to a growing demand for fire protection systems. Forest fires are a global cause of concern for the large-scale environmental harm it inflicts. In August 2024, the World Resources Institute reported that forest fires are worsening and burning twice as much tree cover compared to two decades ago. Data from researchers at the University of Maryland highlighted that area burned by forest fires increased by 5.4% per year from 2001 to 2023.
Due to fires increasingly becoming reasons for a large share of global tree cover loss, organizations are beefing up attempts to stymy forest fire losses driving the demand for advanced fire protection systems. For instance, in July 2024, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) launched guidelines on integrating indigenous and scientific knowledge to tackle forest fires. Governments are expected to increase spending on combating of forest fires in the coming years which will result in a significant boost to demands for fire protection systems.
Challenges
- Integration with aging infrastructures: Many aging buildings have outdated or no fire protection systems which makes it a challenge for fire protection services in case of fire hazards. Upgrading or installing new systems can have cost impediments which may discourage end-users to actively seek fire protection systems. Such constraints may arise in developing regions where large swathes of residential, commercial, or industrial swathes were built without adhering to fire safety codes. Installing updated fire safety systems in large residential, commercial, and industrial complexes may incur significantly high costs slowing down the fire protection system market growth.
- False alarms and system failures: The market growth can be stymied by frequent false alarms and system failures. System failures or false alarms can cause operational disruptions, add to costs, and reduce public trust in the fire protection system. Additionally, system failures can also cause property damage and legal liabilities. For instance, in November 2019, BBC published a report stating that 38% of smoke alarms failed in house fires in 2018 and the failure rate has not changed since 2010.

Fire Protection Systems Segmentation
Product (Fire Detection, Fire Analysis, Fire Suppression, Fire Response, Fire Sprinkler System)
The fire detection segment in the fire protection system market will account for 56.7% share by 2037. This growth can be attributed to the rising need for early detection and prevention of fire-related damages. Devices such as smoke detectors, heat detectors, flame detectors, multi-sensor detectors, etc., help in early detection of fire threats. Advancements in technology such as smart fire detection systems have led to the growth surge of this segment. For instance, in April 2024, Resideo Technologies launched the First Alert smoke alarm equipped with advanced precision detection technology.
The fire analysis segment in the fire protection system market is poised for growing revenue share during the forecast period due to rising demands for predictive management of threats in various sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, oil & gas, etc. Fire analysis is imperative in identifying causes of fire, estimating damages, and analyzing steps for future prevention of fire hazards. A driver for this segment is the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms that can preemptively identify fire hazards by analyzing historical data. For instance, in March 2023, a forest fire spread simulation system with high-performance computing was launched in India that can activate once a forest fire is detected by satellites and inform authorities to minimize losses.
Application (Commercial, Industrial, Residential)
The commercial segment in application is expected to hold a large fire protection system market share during the forecast period driven by the increasing number of commercial buildings and complexes, and the government enforcement to comply with fire safety protocols. The demand for fire protection systems in commercial spaces is high owing to the high density of occupants and valuable assets. For instance, in the U.S. the Occupational Safety and Health Organization (OSHA) enforces the mandatory presence of fire extinguishers and fire suppression systems for commercial buildings.
The industrial fire protection system market revenue share is estimated to rise steadily during the forecast period owing to the need to protect highly-valued industrial equipment from fire-related risks. Industrial environments are often high-risk for fire hazards which leads to increased demands for advanced fire protection systems to prevent significant losses. Fire protection systems such as water mist systems, foam-based systems, gas suppression, and heat and flame detecting systems have high demands in the industrial sector leading to an increase in revenue share. Another driver is the scale of demand as due to industries covering large areas, the need for fire protection systems encompassing a greater swathe of area seamlessly is paramount.
