Flame Arrestor Market Report 2025

The flame arrestor market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.49 billion in 2024 to $5.9 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in chemical and petrochemical industries, increased focus on industrial safety regulations, expansion of oil and gas exploration activities, rise in awareness of fire hazards in industrial processes, increasing industrial activities in various countries.

The flame arrestor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.12 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stringent environmental and safety standards, growth in energy and power generation industries, adoption of flame arrestors in emerging economies, increasing use of flame arrestors in renewable energy applications, increasing demand for flame arrestors in the consumer durables industry. Major trends in the forecast period include advances in flame arrestor technology, integration of smart sensors and monitoring systems in flame arrestors, use of corrosion-resistant materials for flame arrestor construction, customization of flame arrestors for specific industrial applications, collaboration between flame arrestor manufacturers and end-users.

The increase in oil and gas exploration activities is expected to propel the growth of the flame arrestor market going forward. The upstream sector of the oil and gas industry includes exploration activities, including preparation for geological surveys and the acquisition of land rights, and production activities, including onshore and offshore drilling. Flame arrestors are devices that allow gas to pass through but prohibit a flame from igniting, preventing a large fire or explosion as a result of increased production and safety concerns about safe gas transportation operations. For instance, in March 2022, according to a survey report published by S&P Global, a US-based publicly traded corporation, oil and gas exploration activities were up sharply in Q1 with reported increases in production, capital expenditures, employment, and overall operating costs. In addition, nearly 52% of respondents reported an increase in oil production, along with 47% reporting an increase in natural gas production during the first quarter of 2022. Therefore, the increasing oil and gas exploration activities are driving the growth of the flame arrestor market.

Rapid industrialization is expected to propel the growth of the flame arrestors market going forward. Rapid industrialization is the process of transforming an economy from a focus on agriculture to a reliance on manufacturing. It is characterized by the growth of industries, the expansion of transportation networks, and the emergence of new technologies. Flame arrestors play a crucial role in rapid industrialization by ensuring safety in hazardous environments and are extensively used in the oil and gas and mining industries, manufacturing plants, and vehicles. For instance, in October 2023, according to the Federal Reserve System, a US-based central banking system, industrial production in the United States increased 0. 3% in September and advanced at an annual rate of 2. 5% in the third quarter. Manufacturing output rose 0. 4% in September. Therefore, rapid industrialization is driving the growth of the flame arrestors market.

New product innovations have emerged as a key trend gaining popularity in the flame arrestor market. Major companies operating in the flame arrestor sector are focused on developing new product innovations to strengthen their position. For instance, in August 2022, G. W. Lisk Company Inc., a US-based manufacturer and supplier of solenoid valves, launched ATEX (Equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres), IECEx (International Electrotechnical Commission Explosive) and UL/ULC certified in line deflagration flame arrestor series. Oil and gas installations up to 4 inches in Class 1: Div 1 (Zone 0,1) and Div 2 (Zone 2) are suitable for using this series. Built with the highest safety and field performance in mind, the flame arrestors minimize flow channel obstructions while providing structural durability.

Major companies operating in the flame arrestor market are focused on introducing cost-effective and high-performance solutions, such as a flame arrester and breather valve combination, to gain a competitive edge in the market. The combination of a flame arrester and breather valve is commonly used in liquid storage tanks and other process vessels or systems to prevent structural damage and ensure safety. For instance, in July 2022, Energas Technologies, a South Africa-based manufacturer of oil and gas field equipment, launched the FAB (flame arrester-breather) Valve Series, a flame arrester or breather valve combination. It offers a low-maintenance, high-performing solution that is affordable and suitable for most tank storage applications. features improved flame arrester element technology with crimped ribbons. The flame arrester element's channel dimensions are optimized to provide optimal flow performance and minimal maintenance needs while providing deflagration protection. The FAB valve's unique operating concept enables the flame arrester element to self-drain. Under typical operating conditions, this guarantees minimum clogging of the element and permits visible inspection.

In May 2022, Protectoseal, a US based company that manufactures safety and flame control products acquired Elmac Technologies for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, the protectoseal company wants to grow with organic expansion and acquisition. Elmac Technologies is a UK-based manufacturer of flame arrestors.

A flame arrestor, also called a flame trap, is a device that stops fluid combustion by extinguishing the flame. The flame arrester works by absorbing heat from the subsonic flame surface and keeping the combustion gas-air mixture below the autoignition temperature. The industries that are engaged in systems that collect gases emitted by liquids and solids highly depend on the flame arrestor manufacturing market.

The main types of flame arrestor are in-line and end-of-line. The in-line market consists of sales of flame arrestors, which are used in piping systems to protect downstream equipment. In-line flame arrestors refer to the units used to prevent the propagation of an explosion within a pipeline. The different applications include storage tanks, pipelines, incinerators, ventilation systems, and others. The various end-users are oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, mining, power generation, and others.
