Global Fire Protection Systems Market Dynamics

Drivers: Surge in awareness regarding safety from fire

Implementing stringent norms to install fire protection systems in residential and non-residential buildings globally is expected to fuel the market's growth. The industrial and commercial areas majorly use fire protection systems for the safety of employees. In addition, an increase in the risk of property damage and public safety concerns due to fire accidents drive the industry growth. For instance, from 2018 to 2019, the Canadian Government spent $34 million annually on fire protection services. According to the Fire Safe Europe (FSEU), a European association for fire safety, in Europe, at least 5,000 fire incidents occur each day; hence, fire safety in buildings is a major societal issue. Thus, a rise in awareness toward fire safety is anticipated to supplement the growth of the fire protection systems market.

Restraints: High initial costs and predictive maintenance

The high initial cost is one of the major challenges that restrain the growth of the fire protection systems market. In addition, the predictive maintenance technique utilizes the data collected in real-time through detection or optical sensors installed in the fire protection equipment and subsequently analyzes it for predictive maintenance. In addition, continuous up-gradation of software and application programs to improve the overall performance of fire protection systems involves high costs, thereby restricting their usage. Moreover, the lack of skilled operators and technicians for maintenance and service fire protection systems restrains the market's growth among fast-emerging economies and price-sensitive markets.

Opportunities: Technological advancements to ensure safety & security

Safety and security are the major concerns in the residential and commercial sectors that have led to an increase in the deployment of voice-activated devices, video intercom systems, and smart outlets in homes. This factor is a substantial contributor to the growth of the fire protection systems market. In addition, intense competition has been witnessed within start-ups and large corporations, owing to the profitability of fire protection systems.

Furthermore, the participation of giants such as Honeywell and Johnson Control has increased due to technological advancements. For instance, in April 2020, Europe-based Securiton AG launched FidesNet, aspirating Smoke Detectors (ASD). It is a remote control unit with a 7-inch color touch panel capable of operating 100 Securismoke ASD on a single control panel for the airport, data centers, laboratories, etc. Similarly, in January 2020, Robert Bosch launched two AVENAR fire alarm panels, 2000 and 8000. They are equipped with a screen touch panel to detect fire, have 24/7 support, and are remotely accessible. Furthermore, the increase in installing smart home systems for safety & security enhances the house's visual appeal, thereby creating value for residential end-users. This factor is expected to continue to provide profitable business opportunities to the market players during the forecast period.
