Fire Protection System Pipes Market Report 2025

The fire protection system pipes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $16.2 billion in 2024 to $17.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to stringent building codes and regulations, increasing urbanization and construction activities, growing awareness of fire safety, increasing investments in infrastructure development, rise in fire incidents and losses.

The fire protection system pipes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.69 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration with building automation systems, rising demand in the oil and gas industry, strategic partnerships and collaborations, focus on sustainable and eco-friendly solutions, expansion of the warehousing and logistics sector. Major trends in the forecast period include advanced materials for pipe construction, integration of smart technologies, focus on lightweight and flexible pipes, increased emphasis on retrofitting, adoption of pre-engineered systems.

The rising incidence of human casualties and property damage due to fire outbreaks is projected to significantly propel the growth of the fire protection system pipe market in the future. Fire outbreaks are devastating events that can lead to property loss and severe burn injuries, causing immense pain, scarring, disfigurement, disability, the necessity for long-term care, and even fatalities. Fire protection system pipes play a crucial role in preventing fire-related incidents, as they are equipped with sprinklers and smoke detectors. When a fire ignites, smoke activates the detector, which in turn triggers the sprinkler system, thereby contributing to the demand for fire protection system pipes. For example, a report from the National Fire Protection Association, a U.S.-based international nonprofit organization, stated that in 2022, local fire departments in the United States responded to around 1.5 million fires, resulting in 3,790 civilian deaths and 13,250 reported civilian injuries. As a result, the escalating loss of lives and property due to fire incidents is anticipated to drive the fire protection system pipe market's growth.

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.

Key players in the fire-stopping materials market are creating innovative products, including flexible epoxy technology, to improve fire protection performance, increase application efficiency, and meet stringent safety regulations, thereby delivering safer and more durable solutions for contemporary construction and infrastructure projects. Flexible epoxy technology refers to a specialized type of epoxy resin that offers enhanced flexibility and strong adhesion, making it suitable for high-performance applications like fire-resistant coatings. For example, in September 2024, Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG) Company, a paint and coating manufacturer based in the U.S., introduced the PPG STEELGUARD 951 epoxy intumescent fire protection coating in the Americas. This advanced intumescent coating is designed to provide superior fire protection for structural steel. When exposed to high temperatures, the coating expands, creating an insulating layer that slows down heat transfer to the steel, thereby helping to maintain the structural integrity of steel structures during a fire and allowing critical time for evacuation and emergency response.

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.

Fire protection system pipes encompass automatic sprinkler systems and other water conduits designed for firefighting and transporting water or other liquids to connect firefighting equipment. To facilitate easy identification by firefighters and other personnel, these pipes are typically painted red, distinguishing them from other water systems.

The primary types of fire protection system pipes include seamless pipes and welded pipes. Seamless pipes are hollow tubes crafted from a heated, solid circular steel "billet" that has been pushed or drawn over a form. These pipes can be composed of various materials, such as steel, CPVC, copper, and others. They find key applications in fire suppression systems and fire sprinkler systems, catering to major end users in residential, industrial, and commercial industries.
