Flame Detector Global Market Report 2024

The global flame detector market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.85 billion in 2023 to $1.96 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. Historical growth can be attributed to the optimization of emergency response systems, integration with fire safety systems, improvements in sensitivity and reduction of false alarms, the impact of urbanization and infrastructure development, and the expansion of the oil and gas industry.

The global flame detector market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.42 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by integration with smart building systems, efforts to reduce false alarms, urban development and construction projects, expansions within the oil and gas sector, and increasing concerns and regulations regarding environmental impact. Major trends expected during this period encompass customization and adaptability in systems, an increased emphasis on remote monitoring and control, a focus on environmental sustainability, the integration of wireless connectivity and mobility solutions, and the development of miniaturized and compact designs in this industry.

Escalating human and property losses from fire outbreaks are expected to drive the growth of flame detectors. These detectors are crucial for mitigating such losses by using various techniques to detect visible flames. For instance, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reported over 350,000 home structure fires annually in the United States, causing nearly $7 billion in direct damage. This alarming trend drives the demand for flame detectors to prevent fire-related damages.

The surge in smart city projects is anticipated to propel the flame detector market. These detectors play a pivotal role in smart city infrastructure, enabling early fire detection and swift response mechanisms, thereby ensuring safety and protection of critical infrastructure and lives in urban environments. According to the IMD Smart City Index Report, the number of smart cities globally increased from 118 in 2021 to 141 in 2023, contributing to the growing demand for flame detectors in such initiatives.

Technology improvements stand out as a prominent trend in the flame detector market. Major companies are innovating flame detector technologies such as IoT-based systems, machine learning integration, and voice alert systems. For instance, Hyfire, a UK-based designer of wireless fire systems, launched EvacWireless - an evacuation system facilitating fire and rescue operations in high-rise buildings. The system offers audio and visual alarm systems for residents and evacuation alert control for fire and rescue personnel.

Major players in the flame detector market are focusing on introducing innovative detectors like the triple IR flame detector to gain a competitive edge. The triple IR flame detector uses three infrared sensors to identify flames. For example, in October 2023, Honeywell International Inc. introduced the FS24X Plus Flame Detector. This detector utilizes WideBand IRTM infrared technology to accurately detect hydrocarbon and hydrogen fires, addressing the risks associated with hydrogen production and use. The FS24X Plus offers early and precise detection of hydrogen flames, ensuring the safety of workers and facilities, especially in challenging environmental conditions like rain, fog, or smoke.

In February 2022, ORR Protection Systems, a prominent US-based company specializing in the design, inspection, and maintenance of mission-critical fire alarm and detection systems, completed the acquisition of Liberty Building Technologies (LBT). The financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed. Through this strategic move, ORR Protection Systems endeavors to augment its portfolio with a focus on continuous improvement while also expanding its geographical footprint. Liberty Building Technologies (LBT), based in the US, operates within the realms of fire detection and fire suppression. This acquisition empowers ORR Protection Systems to enhance its capabilities and geographical reach, harnessing LBT's expertise to bolster its offerings and further solidify its position in delivering top-tier fire protection solutions for mission-critical environments.
