The global fire sprinkler system market reached US$ 11.2 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a considerable CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period of 2019-2028. A fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection method, consisting of a water supply system, providing adequate pressure and flow rate to a water distribution piping system, onto which fire sprinklers are connected. The fire sprinkler system both notifies the occupants of a fire and it suppresses the fire. It adds more value than its alternative which is smoke detectors.
In over one hundred years of use, there has never been a fatality of building occupants from fire in a building with a properly designed, installed, and maintained sprinkler system is used. Automatic sprinklers respond to even a small fire, preventing the fire from developing into a major threat. Among all other fire protection systems, fire sprinklers have a 99% record of successful extinguishment or control. Moreover, this system saves a lot of water required for extinguishment. The total amount of water used in sprinkled buildings is approximately one-tenth the amount used for fires in nonsprinklered buildings.
Fire sprinkler systems help in reducing the total cost of construction
Fire sprinklers can often reduce the total cost of construction in buildings. Typically, sprinkler systems can be installed for about 1% of the building cost, or less than $2 per square foot. If the decision to install sprinklers is made early enough in the planning process, sprinklers can actually reduce total construction costs through the use of code incentives or “trade-ups”. For instance, insurance rates are substantially less for sprinkled facilities. These incentives make it possible to build a safer building for less money.
These regulations, standards, and codes are imposed by different regulatory bodies. The growing standard has impelled organizations to install fire protection systems, and drive the growth of the fire sprinkler market.
Moreover, the increase in construction and industrial areas will increase the demand for fire protection systems. These factors are expected to boost the growth of the fire sprinkler market over the forecast period.
Fire sprinkler systems face some issues like leaks and microbiologically influenced corrosion
Under the segmentation of fire sprinklers, types of fire sprinklers include wet pipe systems, dry pipe systems, pre-action systems, deluge systems, water-mist systems, standpipe systems, and clean agent systems. The wet pipe systems should be inspected monthly to ensure that they are in good condition and that normal water supply pressure is being maintained, whereas dry, pre-action, and deluge systems should be inspected weekly to ensure that normal air and water pressures are being maintained.
The global fire sprinkler system market is a rapidly growing industry that is driven by increasing concerns regarding fire safety and the growing demand for advanced fire protection systems. The market is expected to continue to grow at a steady pace in the coming years.
North America dominates the fire sprinkler system market
North America holds a significant share in the fire sprinkler market and is expected to remain dominant in the forecast period. The key drivers augmenting the growth of this industry are increase in demand for smart houses and buildings with innovative appliances. Moreover, there is strong presence of fire protection system companies in North America who are actively involved in spreading awareness about safety issues.
The Asia Pacific region have shown steady market growth, but is expected to show robust growth in the coming years in the fire sprinkler market due to rising urbanization and awareness in developing countries like India, China and Japan. Latin America and the Middle East regions will also witness moderate growth in the fire sprinkler systems market owing to rise in awareness regarding safety from fire emergencies.
