Fire Stopping Material Market Report 2025

The fire stopping material market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.64 billion in 2024 to $1.8 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strict building codes and regulations, rising awareness of fire safety, increasing construction activities, stringent requirements in high-risk environments, insurance industry mandates.

The fire stopping material market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.76 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rapid growth in the construction industry, focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions, stringent fire safety requirements in critical infrastructure, increasing adoption in retrofitting projects, global emphasis on life safety and property protection. Major trends in the forecast period include intumescent technology advancements, environmentally friendly formulations, flexible and sealant solutions, code compliance and standards adherence, innovations in fire retardant additives.

The increasing frequency of fire incidents is anticipated to significantly boost the fire-stopping materials market in the future. Fire incidents are tragic events that can lead to property loss and severe burn injuries, causing immense pain, scarring, disfigurement, disability, the necessity for ongoing medical care, and even fatalities. Fire-stopping materials serve as crucial safeguards against such incidents by preventing the spread of fire across various compartments of a building, thus protecting both people and property. For example, a survey by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a non-profit organization based in the U.S., revealed that in 2022, local fire departments in the United States responded to about 1.5 million fire incidents, resulting in 3,790 civilian deaths and 13,250 reported injuries. The total property damage attributed to these fires was estimated at $18 billion. Consequently, the rising number of fire incidents is expected to drive the growth of the fire-stopping materials market.

The thriving construction industry is set to fuel the expansion of the fire-stopping materials market in the forthcoming years. The construction sector is a vital economic segment encompassing various activities related to the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure. Fire-stopping materials are designed to hinder the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases in concealed areas of a building, thereby slowing down fire accidents and minimizing their impact. For instance, data from the US Census Bureau in November 2023 indicated that construction spending is projected to reach $1.99 trillion in September 2023, marking a 0.4 percent (1.2 percent) increase from the revised August forecast of $1.98 trillion. Compared to the projected figure for September 2022, the September 2023 figure is 8.7% (1.8%) higher at $1.83 trillion. Therefore, the thriving construction industry remains a driving force for the fire-stopping materials market.

Product innovation stands out as a prominent trend gaining traction in the fire-stopping materials market. Leading companies in this sector are actively engaged in the development of innovative products to solidify their market presence. For example, in September 2022, UK-based fire protection product manufacturer Nullifire Ltd. introduced FS719 HP Blue, designed specifically for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) materials. This product features a distinctive blue color for easy visual identification and traceability, offering up to two hours of fire resistance. Notably, it is easily recognizable when used with the FB750 incubator-coated batt and is compatible with the FBCTM System, providing enhanced accessibility for sprinkler and fire protection system installers.

Leading companies in the fire-stopping materials market are prioritizing the development of advanced coating solutions to ensure compliance with safety regulations, improve product performance, and promote innovations in fire protection technologies. Periodic laboratory testing involves routine evaluations of materials or products in a controlled environment to assess their performance and confirm adherence to safety standards. For example, in June 2022, Hempel A/S, a coatings manufacturer based in Denmark, introduced Hempafire XTR 100, an advanced coating solution designed for hydrocarbon passive fire protection (PFP). This product is specifically engineered to safeguard oil and gas downstream assets from fire hazards, particularly those associated with hydrocarbon fires.

In September 2024, Siemens Smart Infrastructure, a German company specializing in energy and infrastructure solutions, acquired Danfoss Fire Safety A/S for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to bolster Siemens' fire safety offerings by incorporating advanced technologies to enhance fire protection products and services in the global market. Danfoss Fire Safety A/S, based in Denmark, is dedicated to delivering fire safety solutions.

Fire-stopping materials constitute a category of substances designed to enhance a structure's resistance to fire. These materials are employed to fill gaps and joints between walls and floors with fire-resistant substances, serving to mitigate the impact of catastrophic fires. Fire-stopping materials can be broadly classified as either passive or active fire prevention materials.

The primary types of materials utilized in fire-stopping applications include coatings, mortar, sealants and fillers, sheets and boards, spray, preformed devices, putty, cast-in devices, and other variations. Coatings, in this context, refer to layers or films applied to surfaces for decorative or protective purposes. They find application in diverse sectors such as electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and more. The major end-users of these materials encompass the commercial, industrial, and residential industries..
