The Fire Protection Materials Market is to Touch $5.5 Billion by 2030; advancements in fire safety solutions and stringent government regulations on building safety standards propel market growth.

The Fire Protection Materials Market size is estimated to reach $5.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period 2024-2030, according to a recent report published by IndustryARC, titled, “Fire Protection Materials Market – By Product Type (Sealants, Coatings, Mortars, Putties, Plasters (Gypsum, Cementitious, Fibrous and Spray Proofing) and Others), By Application (Renovation/ Remodeling Construction Activities, New Construction Activities, Casting Equipments and Others), By End-Use Industry (Transportation (Automotive, Locomotive, Aerospace and Marine), Building & Construction (Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Infrastructural), Electrical & Electronics, Oil & Gas Industry and Others), By Geography - Global Opportunity Analysis & Industry Forecast, 2024-2030”

Rising investments in infrastructure development and increasing awareness about fire safety in residential and commercial spaces are fueling the growth of the Fire Protection Materials industry during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific led the Fire Protection Materials market in 2023, holding a 42% market share, driven by robust growth in transportation and construction sectors in countries like China, India, and Japan. Rapid infrastructure development, affordable housing initiatives, and expanding automotive production contribute significantly to the market's growth. The Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation reported a 10.7% increase in India’s construction sector in FY22, rebounding from an 8.6% decline the previous year. Similarly, advancements in automotive manufacturing and rising demand for passenger vehicles are propelling the adoption of fire protection products like foam, coatings, plaster, and gypsum across the region. These factors collectively underline Asia-Pacific's pivotal role in the global market's expansion. 

Fire protection materials, such as coatings and foams, play a critical role in enhancing safety across automotive applications. Coatings safeguard vehicle interiors and electric vehicle batteries, while foams are used in manufacturing plants to mitigate fire risks. The automotive sector has witnessed notable growth due to increased demand for passenger vehicles and the establishment of electric vehicle production facilities. The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association reported 85.4 million motor vehicles produced globally in 2022, a 5.7% rise from 2021. This growth underscores the expanding adoption of fire protection materials, ensuring safer and more efficient operations within automotive manufacturing and usage.

The rising demand for consumer electronics and semiconductors has amplified the use of fire protection materials in electronic manufacturing. These materials are crucial during the casting process to prevent ignition risks in components like semiconductors and batteries. The electronics industry is experiencing rapid growth, with India’s electronics manufacturing sector projected to reach $520 billion by 2025, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation. Additionally, the Semiconductor Industry Association reported record global semiconductor sales of $574.1 billion in 2022, a 3.3% increase from 2021. This surge in electronic production and sales directly correlates with heightened demand for fire protection materials, creating significant growth opportunities in the industry.
