Consequently, the rising regulations are anticipated to drive the growth of fire protection materials in the construction market moving forward.

The rapid increase in the number of fire incidents is anticipated to further boost the growth of the fire protection materials for the construction market. Fire incidents refer to situations where fires occur, causing damage or posing potential threats to property, people, or the environment. Fire-resistant building materials play a crucial role in preventing or minimizing the spread of fire, protecting structures, and providing occupants with more time to evacuate. A survey conducted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in September 2022 revealed that local fire departments in the US attended around 1,353,500 fires, resulting in 3,800 civilian fatalities, 14,700 civilian injuries, and property damage worth $15.9 billion. The rising number of fire incidents is a significant driver for the growth of fire protection materials in the construction market.

Leading manufacturers in the fire materials for construction market are consistently focusing on cutting-edge research and technological advancements to create improved fire protection materials. These materials are designed to withstand fire for longer durations and emit less smoke when burned. In June 2022, Hempel A/S, a Denmark-based manufacturer of coating solutions, announced the launch of Hempafire XTR 100, a new protection material for the hydrocarbon Passive Fire Protection (PFP) segment. This lightweight coating is engineered for the passive fire protection of downstream assets in the oil and gas industry, offering a low dry film thickness. This example highlights the industry's commitment to innovation and the development of advanced fire protection solutions.

Major companies in the fire protection materials for the construction market are actively developing innovative products to meet the growing demand for advanced fire protection materials. One notable example is the introduction of FS719 HP Blue, a distinctive sealant specifically crafted for CPVC materials.

Fire-resistant building materials are substances designed to withstand fire and resist melting for an extended period, providing adequate time for occupants to safely evacuate the premises. These materials contribute to fire protection in construction and include concrete, reinforcement steel, gypsum, cast iron, bricks, asbestos cement, timber, stone, glass, and other fire-resistant components. They serve to safeguard construction sites from fire incidents and enhance overall safety.

The primary categories of fire protection materials for construction encompass coatings, mortar, sealants and fillers, sheets or boards, spray, preformed devices, putty, cast-in devices, and other variations. Mortar, for instance, is a substance applied to fill gaps between bricks and blocks in masonry construction, consisting of a paste made from sand, cement, or lime that solidifies over time. Naturally fire and heat-resistant materials like clay, cement, lime, and sand are integral components. Mortar finds application in various sectors, including commercial, industrial, residential, and others, serving roles in structural support, compartmentation, opening protection, and fire-stopping materials.
