Aircraft Fire Protection Systems Global Market Report 2024

The aircraft fire protection systems market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.73 billion in 2023 to $1.83 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors including advancements in materials innovation, the implementation of aviation safety regulations, the analysis of incident case studies, the evolution of aircraft design, and government initiatives aimed at enhancing aviation standards and safety.

The aircraft fire protection systems market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.29 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the increasing demand for environmentally friendly solutions, the expansion of global air traffic, ongoing development in electric aircraft, and a heightened emphasis on passenger safety. Major trends expected in this period involve innovations in materials, advancements in detection technology, the integration of automation, improvements in training and procedures, as well as the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT).

The rise in the number of new aircraft is expected to significantly drive the growth of the aircraft fire protection systems market. Aircraft, designed for flight within the Earth's atmosphere, serve various purposes including passenger and cargo transportation, military operations, surveillance, and rescue missions. Aircraft fire protection systems play a crucial role in detecting and extinguishing potential fires during flight or while on the ground, utilizing sensors, alarms, and extinguishing agents to ensure the safety of passengers, crew, and the aircraft itself. For example, recent reports from the White House indicate plans for the US to purchase 200 new airplanes from Air India by 2023. Moreover, according to Oliver Wyman, a US-based business management firm, the global aircraft count was approximately 27,400 in 2020, projected to surge to over 36,000 aircraft by 2033 - an increase of approximately 33%. This surge in new aircraft acquisitions is anticipated to significantly boost the demand for aircraft fire protection systems.

The increase in air traffic is expected to drive the growth of the aircraft fire protection systems market. Air traffic involves the movement and operation of aircraft both in the air and on airport surfaces, excluding loading ramps and parking areas. Stricter safety regulations mandate the implementation of effective fire protection systems to comply with safety standards, ensuring the overall safety of air traffic operations. For instance, as per the International Air Transport Association's data in April 2023, total air traffic exhibited a notable increase of 55.5%, with domestic traffic rising by 25.2% and international traffic surging by 89.7% compared to the previous year. This significant increase in air traffic further emphasizes the necessity for robust fire protection systems in aircraft, thus driving the growth of the aircraft fire protection systems market.

Product innovation stands as a significant trend driving advancements within the aircraft fire protection systems market, with major companies placing a strong emphasis on developing cutting-edge products to maintain their market positions. For instance, in September 2022, Die Diehl Stiftung & Co. KG, a Germany-based specialist in interiors and avionics, unveiled integrated fire protection solutions for the aviation and rail sectors. These innovative fire protection solutions for aviation encompass sensitive autonomous smoke detectors and fire protection control systems. They facilitate rapid and automatic fire detection while ensuring safe firefighting measures. Additionally, these systems are designed to detect smoke and heat within aircraft and trains, enabling preemptive detection of potential damage, prioritizing passenger safety.

Major players in the aircraft fire protection systems market are investing in the development of fire-simulating tools to gain a competitive advantage. These tools simulate the heat and smoke flow generated by fires, providing engineers with a means to design and assess fire protection systems without the need for expensive and sometimes impractical full-scale experiments. For instance, in March 2021, the collaboration between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the US resulted in the development of a new fire-simulating tool. This tool aims to enhance in-flight fire safety by offering a more realistic and efficient method to test fire protection systems and strategies. The simulator aids in early fire detection and furnishes critical data for firefighting and containment strategies.

In November 2023, United Safety & Survivability Corporation, a US-based innovator in safety solutions, acquired Fire Protection Technologies Pvt. Ltd., an Australia-based company specializing in fire protection technologies, for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition bolsters United Safety's capacity to support its clientele while expanding its range of product and service offerings within the fire protection sector.
