Fire Detection Equipment Global Market Report 2024

The fire detection equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.34 billion in 2023 to $9.15 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be credited to governmental backing that prioritizes safety, a surge in the occurrence of fire incidents, a rise in commercial infrastructure, economic growth, and swift urbanization.

The fire detection equipment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.88 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to advancements in technology, an upswing in the construction sector, heightened demand from end-user industries, stringent safety regulations, and the increasing adoption of wireless technology in fire detection. Notable trends in the forecast period involve the incorporation of smoke detectors into home automation systems to enhance security and control for consumers, the consideration of advanced smoke detectors in commercial structures to ensure the safety of individuals and businesses, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into fire detectors for enhanced technological capabilities, offering features such as voice assistance to provide convenience and cater to specific needs of certain segments of the population with disabilities, manufacturing and incorporating features of smart smoke detectors, multi-criteria fire detectors, beam smoke and fire detectors, heat detectors, visual fire detectors and alarms, intelligent smoke and fire detectors, and embracing wireless technologies.

The growth of the fire detection equipment market is significantly influenced by stringent government regulations and mandates concerning fire detection measures. Internationally, various government agencies have enforced laws mandating the installation of fire safety equipment in organizations to ensure the safety of employees. For example, the U.S. government, following the 15 U.S. Code 2227, requires the installation of fire safety systems with appropriate warning signals in federally assisted buildings. The growing emphasis on safety by government agencies has resulted in an increased demand for fire detection equipment in the market.

The rising incidents of fire-related fatalities and casualties are expected to drive the growth of the fire detection equipment market in the foreseeable future. Fire-related fatalities refer to instances where individuals lose their lives directly due to a fire, while fire-related casualties encompass both fatalities and non-fatal injuries resulting from a fire, such as burns, smoke inhalation, and other fire-related harm. Fire detection equipment plays a pivotal role in mitigating fire-related fatalities and casualties by providing early warnings and facilitating swift response measures. As an illustration, a report by the Home Office, a UK-based ministerial department, revealed that in 2023, there were 561 hospital admissions due to severe injuries, constituting 9.1% of all non-fatal casualties, marking a 2.4% increase from 2022. Additionally, 1,836 precautionary checks were recommended, representing 30% of all non-fatal casualties and reflecting a 2.6% increase from 2022. Consequently, the escalating occurrences of fire-related fatalities and casualties are steering the growth of the fire detection equipment market.

Entities in the fire detection equipment market are incorporating Infrared technology to minimize false alarms and improve the responsiveness of alarm systems to actual fires. The utilization of Infrared technology enhances a detector's fire detection capabilities even in dusty atmospheres. For example, MSA Safety Incorporated, a U.S.-based company specializing in advanced safety products, introduced the FL4000H multi-spectrum IR flame detector. This device utilizes multi-spectrum IR (Infrared) to detect flames up to 210 feet away while also monitoring and minimizing false alarms. The flame recognition technology employed by the device analyzes near IR radiation to confirm fires, ensuring more effective and reliable results.

Major companies in the fire detection equipment market are actively engaged in the development of advanced multi-sensor detectors and algorithms to maintain a competitive advantage. Advanced multi-sensor detectors, when combined with sophisticated algorithms, enhance the precision of fire detection by consolidating data from various sensors to promptly identify and alert to potential fire hazards. As an illustration, in August 2022, Honeywell International Inc., a U.S.-based technology company specializing in aerospace, automotive products, and control systems, introduced the Morley MAx fire detection and alarm system featuring advanced multi-sensor detectors and algorithms. This system utilizes intelligent algorithms, in tandem with straightforward boolean logic shared across the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus network, to achieve faster and more efficient fire detection. The system is designed for future readiness and incorporates connected building tools and monitoring systems to streamline the commissioning of extensive fire detection networks.

In November 2021, Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH, a Germany-based provider of security and safety products and services, acquired Protec Fire and Security Group Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition aimed to expand Bosch Building Technologies' business and strengthen its presence in the European market. Protec Fire and Security Group Ltd. is a UK-based provider of fire detection equipment.
