High Pressure Fireproof Board Market Report 2025

The high pressure fireproof board market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.46 billion in 2024 to $1.58 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing demand for passive fire protection systems, rising reconstruction and renovation activities, greater implementation of green building standards, growing popularity of modular and prefabricated construction, and heightened focus on workplace safety.

The high pressure fireproof board market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.16 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the rising demand for fire-resistant construction materials, increased awareness of fire safety regulations, expanding investments in infrastructure development, growing use of fireproof boards in industrial manufacturing, and greater adoption of high-performance materials. Key trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in composite material technology, progress in high-pressure lamination processes, improvements in fire-retardant additives, integration of digital manufacturing methods, and innovations in surface coating technologies.

The increase in residential construction activity is expected to support the growth of the high-pressure fireproof board market. Residential construction includes the building, upgrading, or expansion of housing units such as homes, apartments, and residential complexes intended for occupancy. This growth is driven by rising income levels, which enable more individuals to purchase homes and contribute to the growing demand for new residential developments. High-pressure fireproof boards are used in these constructions to provide a fire-resistant barrier, helping to slow the spread of fire and enhance the safety of both people and property. For example, in June 2025, a report from the Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, indicated that privately owned housing completions reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,526,000 in May, reflecting a 5.4% increase (±12%) from the revised April total of 1,448,000. As a result, the rise in residential construction is contributing to the expansion of the high-pressure fireproof board market.

An increase in fire-related disasters is expected to drive the growth of the high-pressure fireproof board market. Fire-related disasters refer to sudden, uncontrolled fire incidents that cause extensive property damage, pose risks to human lives, and affect the environment. These events are becoming more frequent due to climate change, which leads to higher temperatures and prolonged dry periods, increasing the likelihood and severity of wildfires and other fire outbreaks. High-pressure fireproof boards are essential in such scenarios as they act as heat-resistant barriers that help slow fire spread, reduce structural damage, and allow more time for evacuation and emergency response. For example, in April 2025, the Fire Administration, a division of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the US, reported 4,446 fire-related deaths in 2022, an increase from 4,316 deaths in 2021. Therefore, the rising number of fire-related disasters is boosting demand for high-pressure fireproof board solutions.

Companies in the high-pressure fireproof board market are focusing on innovations such as fiberglass-reinforced plastics to enhance fire resistance, thermal insulation, and industrial usability. Fiberglass-reinforced plastic is a composite material made from glass fibers and a plastic matrix, known for its strength, lightweight properties, and resistance to impact and corrosion. For instance, in January 2025, Crane Composites Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, introduced GLASBOND, a fiberglass-reinforced fireproof board. This product offers a peel-and-stick FRP wall panel system that installs up to 60% faster than traditional approaches, resulting in considerable labor and cost efficiencies. It is designed to deliver a cleaner, simpler, and more hygienic wall solution for use in demanding environments such as food processing, healthcare, and hospitality.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

High-pressure fireproof board is a dense and durable construction panel produced under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions to provide improved resistance to fire and heat. It is designed to preserve structural stability and integrity when subjected to elevated temperatures, making it a dependable material in settings where fire safety is paramount.

The primary types of high-pressure fireproof boards include glass, fiberglass, medium-density fiberboard, resin, melamine, and others. Glass refers specifically to fire-resistant variants that boost the board’s capacity to withstand high temperatures and inhibit the spread of fire in structural applications. These boards are supplied through direct sales, distributors, and online platforms and are extensively used in firewalls, ceilings, partitions, doors, and floors. They serve various industries such as construction, aerospace, marine, automotive, and industrial manufacturing.
