The Global Fire Hydrants Market size is expected to reach $1.4 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 4.2% CAGR during the forecast period.
A fire hydrant system is an effective way for extinguishing the fire which can result in heavy destructions. The systems are capable of fighting against the fire to a long distance because of the large piping system. Fire hydrant systems cover each point of the building due to which, it has comparatively more penetration capabilities. The valves of a fire hydrant are placed throughout the building, making it highly accessible. It is important for the fire safety service providers that the water source is quick to access. Fire hydrant systems provide a place for storage and water supply. In addition to this, it is important to have a secondary source readily available as to use when the water is used up for at a high extent. For such a situation, fire hydrants preserve in underground pipes also.
Fire hydrants are an essential tool for any industry or manufacturing plant to control the fire if an emergency arises. Mechanical devices are normally placed outside a building connected to any water service network. Also, the internal fire hydrant is installed in some portions of a building where the exterior one cannot reach or safeguard. Usually, a fire hydrant system consists of a water pressurizing system that is distributed across the building with the help of pipes & hoses.
The diesel model uses diesel as a fuel for the operation of the fire hydrant system, the electricity model uses electricity & the hybrid system uses both electricity as well as diesel. All the industries & corporate companies are required to have safety measures on their premises. The rising construction of commercial & industrial buildings is the major factor responsible for the growth of the fire hydrant market.
Increasing population resulting in high demand for hospitals, commercial complexes, etc., industries like oil, gas & various manufacturing industry which involve flammable substances like crude oil, flammable gases & petroleum essentially require fire hydrants as they have more chances of fire accidents. Also, rising urbanization, industrialization along with increased awareness toward the safety of assets is increasing the demand for fire hydrant resources.
