Fire Control System Global Market Report 2024

The fire control system market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $6.88 billion in 2023 to $7.19 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors including heightened regulatory compliance, increased awareness of fire safety, trends in industrialization, expansive infrastructure development, stringent insurance mandates, urbanization, and the rise in commercial construction activities.

The fire control system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.74 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increased adoption in emerging economies, advancement of fire prevention measures, expansion of manufacturing facilities, retrofitting within existing structures, integration into smart building systems, enhanced focus on property protection, and an increased emphasis on life safety measures.

The surge in terrorist activities is anticipated to stimulate growth in the fire control system market. These activities, marked by violence and threats to accomplish political, religious, or ideological objectives, are increasing due to factors such as political instability, socio-economic issues, religious extremism, radical ideologies, geopolitical tensions, inadequate governance, and the pervasive influence of modern communication tools and social media. Fire control systems play a critical role in mitigating the impact of terrorism by enhancing early detection, alarm systems, surveillance, automated suppression, access control, emergency planning, and integration with broader security frameworks. These systems enable the identification of suspicious activities and potential threats, allowing preemptive security measures. For example, the Global Terrorism Index 2024, published by the Institute for Economics and Peace in February 2024, reported that terrorist-related fatalities rose to 8,352 in 2023, marking a 22% increase from the previous year. This escalation in terrorist incidents underscores the increasing demand for advanced fire control systems.

Leading firms in the fire control systems sector are increasingly adopting integrated technological solutions such as the Next-Generation Squad Weapon Fire Control (NGSW-FC) system to enhance the efficacy and functionality of fire alarm and detection systems. The NGSW-FC system integrates sensors, alarms, and suppression technologies to quickly identify, mitigate, and manage fire-related incidents. In January 2021, L3Harris Technologies, a US-based aerospace and defense technology company, unveiled its NGSW-FC system designed for the US Army. This advanced system combines range-finding, ballistic computation, and environmental sensing to improve targeting accuracy and reduce engagement times, significantly improving soldiers' ability to detect, identify, and engage threats from increased distances, thereby boosting situational awareness on the battlefield.

In November 2023, Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, a prominent US-based provider of fire protection safety and security services, completed the acquisition of Koetter Fire Protection.

A fire control system comprises various equipment and software that enhance the accuracy and efficiency of weapon targeting and firing in military applications. These systems facilitate the rapid and precise aiming, tracking, and striking of targets, surpassing the capabilities of manual operation. Essential in military contexts, fire control systems play a pivotal role in detecting and targeting the sources of fires, managing their spread, and minimizing the damage they cause.

The primary components of a fire control system include the target acquisition and guidance system, interface system, navigation system, among others. The target acquisition and guidance system encompasses technologies and methodologies deployed in military and aerospace to accurately detect, track, identify, and direct weapons or other systems towards a target. This system is implemented across various platforms such as terrestrial, aerial, and naval, and caters to weapons such as automatic guns and launchers. It is applicable to a range of weapons including machine guns, rockets, mortars, and cannons, covering distances from short-range (0-9 km) to long-range (above 80 km).
