On the basis of end-user industry, this market is segmented into Automobile, Pharmaceutical, Electronics & Semiconductor, Aerospace and Defense, Oil & Gas, Food & Beverage, Chemical and Petrochemical, Mining, Water Treatment, Pulp and Paper, Power Generation, Commercial, Residential and Others. Power generation sector is analyzed to witness the fastest growth with a CAGR of 5.05% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Due to exponential growth in population, industralization and rising living standards, the demand for power is constantly increasing across the world, which is attracting massive amount of investments in this sector for its expansion. In addition, the rising usage of renewable energy for power generation has triggered the deployment of numerous power generation plants globally. Such development in this industry have accelarated the adoption of safety tools including fire safety equipment. This in turn, boosts the growth of fire-fighting valve market. Futhermore, fire accidents in this sector can cause fatal as well as non-fatal injuries to the employees and severe damage to the equipments, leading to unavailability of power supplies. In January 2021, a major fire broke out in a private defunct thermal power station near Thoothukudi and destroyed inoperative equipments worth few lakhs. Similarly, in August 2020, 9 people died in a fire accident at a Srisailam-based undergroud hydroelectricity power station. To avoid such disastrous incidents, the installation rate of fire-fighting systems is rising, which is highly augmenting the demand for fire-fighting valves. Hence, growing demand for power and rising investment in this industry is being the opportunity for the players operating in the fire fighting valve market during 2021-2026. 

North America dominated the market with a share around 31.8% of the total market share in 2020, and is anticipated to witness a significant growth during the forecast period 2021-2026, owing to early adoption of this technology, increasing investment across industries, public safety norms and others. For instance, to ensure the safety of the wide range of workers, OSHA has imposed various regulatory norms regarding the security and health standards. Furthermore, increasing investment in R&D sector for the development of this technology and the presence of the key market players, are fuelling the market growth. In May 2019, American Flow Control, valve and hydrant division of American Cast Iron Pipe Company made an announcement about regarding their plan of developing a new research center completely dedicated towards the performance enhancement of valve and hydrant products. Moreover, APAC is estimated to have the highest CAGR around 4.51% during the forecast period 2021-2026. The growth of Asian fire fighting valve market is mainly attributed to rapid urbanization and industrialization in this region, especially in emerging economies. Besides this, Governments of developing countries are offering incentives for setting up industrial projects to boost the economic growth, which is accelerating the adoption of fire safety tools along with fire fighting valves. In February 2020, UP government had made an announcement about its special wing ‘Invest UP’, to attract more private investments and accelerate the industrialization growth across the state. Such factors are analyzed to increase the demand for fire-fighting technology, which will drive the growth of Asian fire-fighting valve market during the forecast period 2021-2026.

Industrialization coupled with high investments in various industries, especially in emerging economies is one of the main drivers of this market. In October 2020, at 4th India Energy Forum, Indian Prime minister announced that, India is planning to increase its refining capacity from 250 mtpa (million tonnes per annum) to 400 mtpa by year 2026 and it is estimated that Indian Oil and Natural Gas sector will receive an investment of over $300 Billion by the year 2030 for the development of this sector. With such industrial expansion, the number of fire accidents in industrial areas is also growing. In order to control and reduce the amount of such damages, the adoption of fire-fighting tools is increasing, which affects the growth of this market positively. Furthermore, urbanization plays a major role in the growth of this market. With economic growth and rapid urbanization, the demand for high rise or mid rise buildings is exponentially growing. This in turn affects the growth of fire-fight valve industry. Hence, the above mentioned factors will drive the market during 2021-2026.

Government’s initiatives along with stringent regulatory norms for public safety are analyzed to drive the fire fighting valve market.
