Fire Resistant Flooring Market Report 2026

The fire resistant flooring market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $101.48 billion in 2025 to $107.01 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to fire safety regulations, urban infrastructure growth, commercial construction expansion, adoption of ceramic materials, industrial safety standards.

The fire resistant flooring market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $132.21 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stringent building codes, smart city construction, infrastructure modernization, increased insurance compliance, growth of high occupancy buildings. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for fire safety compliant buildings, growing adoption in commercial infrastructure, expansion of non combustible flooring materials, increased use in industrial facilities, focus on regulatory certified flooring systems.

The increasing number of fire-related accidents is expected to drive the growth of the fire-resistant flooring market in the coming years. Fire-related accidents involve uncontrolled fire incidents that result in property damage, injuries, or loss of life. The rise in such incidents is largely attributed to insufficient fire safety measures, including the limited use of fire-resistant building materials, which allows fires to spread rapidly, hinders evacuation efforts, and increases damage and casualties. Fire-resistant flooring improves fire safety by slowing the spread of flames and reducing heat transfer, thereby strengthening overall fire prevention and protection measures. For example, in July 2023, according to a report released by the UK Home Office, a UK-based government department, Fire and Rescue Services responded to 622,173 incidents in the year ending 2023, representing a 7.8% increase compared with the previous year. Of these, 178,737 were fire incidents, marking a 17% rise from the 152,639 fires recorded the year before. Consequently, the growing frequency of fire-related incidents is contributing to the expansion of the fire-resistant flooring market.

Companies operating in the fire-resistant flooring market are increasingly focused on developing innovative solutions, such as fire-rated engineered wood flooring products, to enhance building safety by limiting rapid fire spread and minimizing smoke generation in residential, commercial, and multi-residential structures. Fire-rated engineered wood flooring contributes to improved fire resistance by delaying ignition, slowing flame propagation, and reducing smoke emission, thereby enhancing overall building fire safety. For instance, in April 2025, Havwoods Limited, a UK-based flooring manufacturer, introduced FlameLESS, a Bfl s1-certified fire-rated engineered wood flooring solution. FlameLESS maintains the natural appearance and design of wood while delivering certified fire performance. The product undergoes a fire-retardant treatment that significantly reduces flame spread and smoke production, making it suitable for commercial, hospitality, and multi-residential environments where fire safety compliance is critical. This advancement enables building owners and designers to achieve high-end aesthetics without compromising fire safety standards.

In May 2023, Woodsafe Timber Protection AB, a Sweden-based supplier of timber for the construction industry, formed a partnership with Thermory AS to offer durable, thermally modified, fire-resistant wood. This collaboration aims to increase the availability of fire-resistant wood and provide safer, more sustainable building materials for the construction industry. Thermory AS, based in Estonia, specializes in wooden fire-resistant flooring.
