Increasing consumer awareness of personal safety and property protection is anticipated to drive the growth of the portable fire extinguisher market in the coming years. Personal safety encompasses actions taken to ensure individual well-being and security during emergencies, while property protection involves safeguarding assets during such events. A rise in fire-related incidents in commercial and residential spaces has heightened demand for portable fire extinguishers, as consumers increasingly recognize their importance in preventing property damage and ensuring safety. For example, in April 2023, the College of Policing, a professional body for police in the UK, announced that by April 2024, all police forces in England and Wales will adopt a new national curriculum requiring officers to complete a minimum of 12 hours of annual public and personal safety training. Thus, the growing consumer focus on safety and asset protection is driving the expansion of the portable fire extinguisher market.

Leading companies in the portable fire extinguisher market are prioritizing innovative product development, such as obtaining SANS 1910 approval, which would make them the first in South Africa to secure certification for lithium fire extinguishing capabilities. SANS 1910 is a safety standard from the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) that outlines requirements for personal protective equipment across industries. For instance, in October 2024, Safequip (Pty) Ltd, a South African fire solutions company, introduced the Lith-Ex Fire Extinguisher Range, a significant advancement in fire safety. This new range of lithium-ion battery extinguishers utilizes Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD) technology for efficient suppression and cooling. These extinguishers meet international standards and are UL-certified, with SANS 1910 approval expected soon. Designed to address the growing risk of lithium-ion battery fires, they also feature measures to prevent re-ignition.
