Fire Protection System Pipes Global Market Report 2024

The fire protection system pipes market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.52 billion in 2023 to $16.43 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The historical period witnessed growth attributed to strict building codes and regulations, a surge in urbanization and construction activities, heightened awareness of fire safety, increased investments in infrastructure development, and a rise in fire incidents and losses.

The fire protection system pipes market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.96 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The forecast period is expected to see growth attributed to the integration with building automation systems, increased demand in the oil and gas industry, strategic partnerships and collaborations, a focus on sustainable and eco-friendly solutions, and the expansion of the warehousing and logistics sector. Major trends in the forecast period include the use of advanced materials for pipe construction, the integration of smart technologies, a focus on lightweight and flexible pipes, an increased emphasis on retrofitting, and the adoption of pre-engineered systems.

The anticipated increase in the loss of human lives and property due to fire outbreaks is expected to significantly propel the fire protection system pipe market in the future. Fire outbreaks refer to tragic incidents that can result in property loss and severe injuries, including scarring, deformity, disability, ongoing care needs, and even fatalities. Fire protection system pipes, equipped with sprinklers and smoke detectors, play a crucial role in preventing and mitigating the impact of such incidents. For example, a survey conducted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in September 2021 revealed that local fire departments in the US responded to 1.35 million fire incidents in 2021, resulting in 3,800 civilian deaths, 14,700 civilian fire injuries, and an estimated $15.9 billion in property damage. Consequently, the expected increase in the loss of human lives and property due to fire outbreaks is poised to drive the growth of the fire protection system pipes market.

The ongoing increase in infrastructure development is anticipated to be a key driver for the growth of the fire protection system pipe market in the years to come. Infrastructure development encompasses the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of physical and organizational structures and systems essential for societal functioning. Fire protection system pipes play a vital role in modern infrastructure, significantly enhancing the safety and resilience of buildings and structures against fire incidents. As an illustration, a June 2022 report from the UK Department of Transport highlighted that the UK government allocated over £160 million for infrastructure to support local communities, including four projects in England aimed at reducing congestion and generating £659.3 million in economic benefits. Consequently, the increasing focus on infrastructure development is fostering growth in the fire protection system pipe market.

Technological advancements represent a significant trend gaining momentum in the market for fire protection system pipes. Leading companies in this sector are dedicated to advancing their technologies to maintain a competitive edge. In March 2022, GF Piping Systems Ltd., a Switzerland-based manufacturing company specializing in fire protection system pipes, introduced HEAT-FIT. This groundbreaking product is the industry's first fire-retardant solution for thermoplastic pipe systems. The HEAT-FIT Jacket System is designed for critical applications on cruise liners, commercial vessels, and offshore rigs, meeting stringent safety requirements, including fire resistance. The innovative lightweight pipe jacket technology consists of two layers of TPU, with a high-temperature fiberglass fabric and a non-toxic, water-based intumescent coating. In the event of a fire, the graphite char layer expands, forming a protective barrier. HEAT-FIT can withstand temperatures exceeding 1000°C for 30 minutes at 3 bar of pressure. The system is environmentally friendly, easy to install and refit, and features a scratch and repellent covering tailored for the demanding marine environment.

Major companies in the fire protection system pipe market are also focusing on introducing innovative products such as carbon steel press-fit pipes to better cater to the needs of their existing customers. Carbon steel press-fit pipes are part of a piping system using a press-fit connection method. For example, in November 2021, Allmach Pneumatic & Fluid Systems Pty Ltd., an Australia-based manufacturing company, launched a range of carbon steel press-fit pipes for fire protection piping systems. This new product line offers cost-effective options for fire hydrant systems and automated fire sprinkler installations. Allmach's press-fit carbon steel pipe and fittings require no welding, are leak-proof, and allow for easy on-site adjustments, streamlining installation and enhancing safety. The carbon steel piping system is zinc-coated to prevent rust and leaks, lightweight, thin-walled, and can be easily assembled on-site using press-fit fittings.

In November 2022, Zekelman Industries, a US-based steel pipe and tube manufacturer, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of EXLtube from SPS Companies Inc. This strategic move aims to strengthen Zekelman Industries' manufacturing capabilities in steel tubes and pipes, incorporating three co-located mills and over 530,000 square feet of industrial and storage space in the Kansas City region. EXLTUBE is a US-based company specializing in the production of structural and mechanical tubing, coated pipe, and specialty pipes.
