Fire Protection System Pipes Market Expected to Reach $34.7 Billion by 2032—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Fire Protection System Pipes Market," The fire protection system pipes market size was valued at $20.2 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $34.7 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2023 to 2032.

Fire Protection System Pipes are specifically designed channels incorporated within fire safety setups, responsible for conveying and dispersing water or fire suppressants throughout a building in case of a fire crisis. These pipes hold a crucial position within the fire safety framework by enabling the seamless flow of water to strategically placed sprinkler heads or other fire suppression apparatus. Their function is instrumental in confining or putting out fires effectively. Asia-Pacific was the region with the most revenue in 2022; however, during the forecast period, LAMEA is anticipated to develop at the fastest CAGR, with LAMEA following closely behind. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the expansion of the fire protection systems pipes business will be fueled by a surge in the number of fire casualties, property loss, and public safety concerns during fire accidents in developing nations like Vietnam, Indonesia, and India. Furthermore, the expansion of the commercial sector and rising construction costs have a significant impact on market development. However, the growth of the fire prevention system pipes market is hampered by fluctuating raw material prices. The impact of this factor is anticipated to reduce in future, due to intense competition by fire protection system pipes industry players.

The types of fire protection system pipes outlined in the report encompass fire suppression systems and fire sprinkler systems. In the 2022 market forecast, the fire suppression systems segment held the largest portion of the fire protection system pipes market, driven by heightened demand across various industrial sectors like manufacturing and chemicals. Additionally, numerous companies are concentrating on strategies involving acquisitions and business expansion. For instance, in February 2023, Halma, a conglomerate of life-saving technology firms, announced its acquisition of Thermocable (Flexible Elements) Ltd to enhance its fire detection subsidiary, Apollo Fire Detectors Limited (Apollo). Thermocable, situated in Bradford, UK, specialized in producing Linear Heat Detectors (LHDs), cables that sense temperature changes in fire-prone zones, prompting alerts when detecting overheating.

By end user, the commercial segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022, due to increase in commercial construction activities and repair. The commercial sector employs fire protection products such as fire protection system pipes and sprinklers in large scale. Furthermore, the fire protection systems pipe market is expected to witness significant growth in China and India, owing to increase in population growth.

Moreover, the construction of new official buildings, commercial complexes, railway stations is expected to boost the growth of the market in the commercial sector. High acceptance of fire analysis systems from commercial buildings is anticipated to propel the fire protection system pipes market growth.

Depending on material type, the steel segment accounted for the maximum share in 2022 and is expected to maintain its lead throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to rapid industrialization and government efforts to expand and upgrade the existing infrastructure.

Inflation significantly impacts the fire protection system pipes market analysis, exerting diverse effects across the industry. The continuous rise in overall prices of goods and services affects the production of crucial pipe materials like steel, copper, and plastics, increasing manufacturing expenses for pipe makers. This inflationary pressure extends to installation and maintenance costs, escalating labor expenses for servicing fire protection systems, potentially burdening end-users with higher costs. Uncertainties stemming from inflation influence investment decisions, causing fluctuations in demand for fire protection system pipes and affecting industry stakeholders. However, inflation also drives innovation, compelling manufacturers to seek cost-effective materials and methods, fostering advancements in materials and installation techniques.

Moreover, businesses have embraced product launches as a pivotal strategy for growth, aiming to endure high competition and broaden their presence in the worldwide market. For instance, in September 2023, Astral Limited attained IS certification for its automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing system and Fire Pro CPVC fittings from the Bureau of Indian Standards, following IS 16534-2017 standards. Such fire protection system pipes market trends are expected drive the  market growth.
