Description

The global automatic fire sprinkler market was valued at USD 12,200 million in 2020 to USD 21,595.73 million by 2027, at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2021 to 2027. Automatic fire sprinklers are used in various commercial and residential applications for protecting areas from catching fire. A frangible bulb is attached to the sprinkler head, filled with a liquid, and releases water once it is heated. Automatic fire sprinklers detect the heat in advance, initiate an alarm, and spray water finely in the area that is prone to fire. The sprinklers release the water since it can cool down and suppress the fire and is an easily available resource.

Moreover, it is a very economical and efficient way of fire suspension. The sprinklers can detect smoke and fire in advance and reduce the damage caused by fire, thereby preventing the injuries caused by fire and safeguarding lives and property. The automatic fire sprinklers help in reducing the severity of the fire and prevent the fire from spreading.

The major driving factors of the automatic fire sprinklers market are the protection of life and property, reduction in risk of damage, and increasing investment across organizations in safeguarding the infrastructure. Moreover, various government initiatives help in supporting the growth of the market. However, the high cost of installing and maintaining fire sprinklers is expected to hamper this market's development. Various technological innovations in automatic fire sprinklers and the increasing trend of automation are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market.

The factors affecting the global automatic fire sprinklers market include protecting life and property, reducing the risk of damage, increasing investments across organizations related to fire safety, and rising awareness regarding life safety.

Global Automatic Fire Sprinker Market Dynamics

Drivers: Increasing investments across organizations for fire safety

Fire protection is one of the major concerns for organizations as it can lead to loss of lives and property and can cause serious injuries to the employees and the whole organization. Automatic fire sprinklers are installed in various commercial buildings such as offices, industries, hotels, schools, and hospitals to minimize the damage caused by fire. Therefore, organizations invest heavily in fire protection and installing various sprinklers that provide a safer work environment. Moreover, fire sprinklers are an investment in the business since they are tax-deductible. Fire sprinklers are widely being installed in warehouses to protect against the loss of damage caused by fire. Moreover, automatic fire sprinklers help businesses reduce fire damage by up to 90%, fueling the market growth.

Restraints: High initial cost of retrofitting automatic fire sprinklers in current buildings

Automatic fire sprinklers can prevent the loss of lives and property, but the high initial cost of installing them has proved to be a major drawback in the automatic fire sprinkler market. The cost of installing a basic fire sprinkler system in a new building is around $1-2 per square feet, whereas installing a sprinkler system can go up to $10 per square feet for buildings as retrofitting a present building is a costly affair. The cost of installing a new fire sprinkler system is nearly about 1-2% of constructing a house. The installation of sprinklers is expensive, but the repair and maintenance charges are high, hampering the market growth.

Opportunities: Rising awareness regarding fire safety

Various companies are initiating awareness regarding employee safety, spreading awareness in training, and providing safety brochures that contain proper guidelines regarding what needs to be done in case of a fire. Moreover, various government initiatives regarding public fire safety, such as NFPA’s “Learn not to burn” and “Risk Watch,” are the best examples of creating awareness among people to be safe. If such an accident occurs, then they should be prepared to fight against the fire. All these factors are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the automatic fire sprinkler market.
