USA Fire Safety Equipment Market Overview, 2029

Fire safety equipment or tools are the products that are designed specifically for protection against fires, and they also include the components that not only detect fire but also perform operations to lessen or reduce its impact. This equipment includes fire-resistant gloves, fire-resistant protective safety gear, fire blankets, communication equipment, smoke and other alarms, sprinklers, respirators, fire extinguishers, and fire hoses. These tools can be used by both trained fire-fighters as well as unskilled users who are using this equipment for the first time. Fire fighting equipment like sprinkler systems can be integrated into the infrastructure of the system. These work as fire-stopping devices by spraying water over the fire to lessen the impact of the fire. The fire fighting equipment is further comprised of many parts and pieces of the equipment and technology. For example, extinguishers use water, dry chemical powder, foam, carbon dioxide or other substances; inner lining suit, fire-resistant outer suit, outer gloves, wooden socks, fire-resistant shoes, helmets, communication systems, and breathing apparatus are all included under the category of fire-fighter’s gear systems. The US has a dominant position in North America in the fire safety equipment market and it is the world leader in the production of this fire-protection equipment. The fire equipment industry is anticipated to grow in the US but not too much as US residential construction is expected to stagnate during that period with few major improvements. However, according to the data collected by the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), the number of fire incidents decreased in 2019 to 1,291,500 but the deaths increased by up to 24% from the previous year and the figures totalled 3,704. Moreover, the number of injured people was down by 12.5% and totalled 16,600 in 2019, but loss by fire increased by 74.5%, with an amount totalling 14.8 billion USD in 2019. This led to the growth of the fire equipment industry in the US as some data showed a downward trend, but still, they were very large in numbers.

According to the research report "USA Fire Safety Equipment Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the USA Fire Safety Equipment market is anticipated to grow at more than 3.94% CAGR from 2024 to 2029. Legislative requirements from various developed nations, like the United States, have mandated the installation of this fire protection equipment, thereby leading to the increased adoption of fire safety devices. The US is like heaven for a majority of the prominent companies operating in this segment, and these companies, along with the government of the US consisting of fire safety departments, are consistently and actively involved in spreading awareness regarding fire safety. Therefore, the US is expected to lead the entire world throughout the forecast period. There are various improvements and innovations that are being carried out by the companies in order to come up with more efficient and capable products in the market, such as Johnson Controls, which has come up with corrosion solutions for fire sprinkler systems, which are known by the name TYCO. These items will help to extend the life of well and dry fire sprinkler systems. Moreover, in addition to that, they also consist of an inline detector that monitors the system and gives an early sign of corrosion. Companies are coming up with strategies of mergers and acquisitions in order to increase their customer base and to reduce competition in the market by acquiring small companies like new entrants like CertaSite, a US-based company that provides fire protection services, acquired Great Lakes Fire & Safety Equipment Company for an undisclosed amount. This company is involved in the business of fire extinguishers.

The market based on the product types is segregated into fire detection, fire alarm, and fire suppression systems. Among these types, fire detection systems have a majority of the market share, but with time, this segment’s market is decreasing due to the rise in the use of fire suppression systems. Fire detection systems consist of smoke, heat, flame, gas, carbon monoxide, and multi-sensor detectors that are used in sensing the smoke and heat that arise from the fire's ignition. Early detection will lead to a timely response in case of fire and less damage to lives and property, which is the major reason behind the growth of this segment. Within the fire detection segment. Smoke detectors have a higher market share, followed by heat detectors. Fire suppression systems in the region are likely to be growing with the best average annual growth rate among the product types during the forecasted period with increasing market share.

On the basis of application types, the US fire protection equipment market is segmented into commercial, industrial, and residential segments. With a high population, the US is the third most populous region in the world after China and India, and as sky-reaching, high-rise buildings are very common in the region, there is an increased need to safeguard them from fire risk. This further leads to higher growth rates in the commercial and residential sectors, making the commercial segment lead the regional market with a share of more than 40%. In the US region, many of the residential fires are caused mainly by cooking in houses. Past trends show more than 40% of residential fires are caused due to cooking, and due to this, the residential segment is expected to have the best growth rate among the application types. Systems for detecting fires are created to catch them at an early stage, when there is still time for residents to escape safely. Early detection greatly benefits the safety of those who respond to emergencies. It is made up of a variety of electrical and electronic tools that cooperate to detect the presence of a fire and warn onlookers via audible or visual means following detection. These sirens could be triggered by heat or smoke detectors that detect fire. Optical smoke detectors are typically quick to pick up on smokey, slow-burning fires. Ionization chamber smoke detectors (ICSDs), which can swiftly identify blazing flames that emit little smoke, are another name for ionisation detectors. Offices, factories, and public buildings all have fire alarms. Although they are a common sight, they are sometimes disregarded until an emergency, at which point they may just save our lives.
