The fire truck market is estimated to grow from USD 8.1 million in 2024 to USD 9.6 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 2.7%.
An increasing awareness of fire safety measures and government initiatives for lowering the number of deaths which are related to fire incidents has boosted the demand for advanced for fire trucks. Globally, there is a growing awareness of fire safety, which is driving market expansion. The rapid urbanization and population growth have increased the demand for advanced fire trucks globally. In some difficult fire cases these firefighting trucks handles a large-scale buildings and industrial complexes. Thus, the development of firefighting technology has resulted in the production of increasingly advanced fire trucks that are equipped to handle a wide range of situations on a global scale.
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting truck is the fastest-growing vehicle types over the forecast period.
The aircraft rescue and firefighting trucks has crucial role in maintaining the security of travelers in airport. ARFF vehicles are stationed at airports all over the world, specifically built to handle crises involving aircraft. ARFF fire vehicles have a large global market share because of a few important factors. The first reason for the constant improvements and replacements of ARFF fleets is the strict international laws requiring airports to retain strong firefighting capabilities. Airport safety and emergency response procedures are governed by international standards published by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).According to a report published in July 2024 by the World Economic Forum claims that airports all around the world aggressively reduce carbon emissions by using sustainable methods. These include implementing energy-efficient practices, embracing renewable energy sources, and modernizing infrastructure to be more environmentally friendly. For instance, in San Diego International Airport had constructed a 5MW solar array to power its facilities, and Oslo Airport runs its ground operations exclusively on biofuel. To reduce energy usage, Singapore's Changi Airport uses intelligent building technologies. Moreover, the airports such as Los Angeles International Airport and London Heathrow are leading the way in replacing conventional diesel fire trucks with electric ones. In line with their environmental goals, this shift dramatically lowers greenhouse gas emissions, encourages sustainability initiatives, and improves air quality.
Residential & commercial application holds the largest fire truck market.
Fire trucks are used in numerous vital functions in emergency situations. These fire trucks are utilized in both residential and commercial applications globally. The purpose of residential fire trucks is to put out structural fires in residential areas. Additionally, there is a greater need for fire stations due to the rise in megaprojects, residential and commercial buildings, and worldwide development. In March 2024, Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. (JLL) had stated that residential development in Indian market has increased by 26% in 2023 considering the previous year 2022. According to estimates from the World Bank, more than 56% of people reside in cities, and by 2050, this percentage is predicted to rise to 68%. Additionally, there will be 1.5 times as more people living in metropolitan areas till 2045, which adds 2 billion new people to the population during the projected timeframe.This development in urbanization will increase the infrastructural needs to keep up with population growth. Significant increases in municipal service will be required because of this population growth. It includes schools and colleges for kids and teenagers; hospital facility, and residential complexes to meet the increasing demand for residence due to increase in population globally. For instance, cities like Lagos, New York, Tokyo, and Mumbai have led to increase in space set for municipal facilities such as healthcare and education to accommodate their expanding populations.
There is increase in urbanization and population growth due to growth in economy of the developing countries, which has resulted in the construction of new businesses and residential structures. Fire services will need to acquire cutting-edge fire trucks in order to establish new infrastructure, trucks that can maneuver through urban settings and get to high-rise buildings on congested, small city streets. To maintain the safety and security of urban people and properties, a well-equipped fleet of fire vehicles will be necessary due to the general expansion in urban population. On the other hand, increased industrial activity will also need for more stringent fire safety regulations in order to both prevent and contain industrial fires. As a result, more specialist fire engines will be needed to deal with different types of fire situations in industrial settings.
North America is the fastest growing region in the fire truck market.
The growth of fire trucks market is skyrocketing in North America due to various imperative factors and trends. Over the time urbanization and increasingly infrastructure development needs of new age expanded fire services. Ford Economics states the construction industry supported 4% of GDP in America and 7.5%, Canada (2022 - *June*2019). This building industry has been catered because of the quick urbanization in US and Canada which has led to using improved hearth safety services, photographs for newer fireplace stations & vehicles etc.In addition, big states such as California, Florida and Texas attracted large numbers of immigrants in 2021-22 while New York's increase was significant with a net gain (13.7%) of 41 percent higher figure at the end compared to three years back. The growth of infrastructure and urbanization that North America has experienced calls requires updated fire services.
Ford Economics states that in USA, in June 2024 4% of GDP was contributed by construction industry while for Canada it was 2022-2023 7.5%. In US and Canada, being urbanized quickly, led a high demand for residential buildings and other industry sectors which warranted an upsurge in the number of fire stations and trucks that have better fire protection services. Moreover, in 2021-2022 periods; more people from outside moved to places such as Florida, Texas, New York and California.
The trend for electrification in fire truck is at initial stages and will gradually increase in North America region. The governing body in North America has set a new regulation for protecting the environment, where The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has introduced a new rule mandating stringent emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks from model years 2027 to 2032. In 2020, California became the first state to propose a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) on the sales of heavy-duty trucks.
This initiative, the Advanced Clean Truck Regulation, will take effect in 2024. Considering this regulation, several key players in the fire truck industry have introduced electric vehicle (EV) versions tailored to North American markets. Pierce Manufacturing, a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation, unveiled the Pierce Volterra platform. Rosenbauer America had introduced the Rosenbauer Concept Fire Truck (CFT) and E-ONE. It launched the E-ONE Electric Pumpers and Aerials, providing electric-powered solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of fire departments in North America.
Climate change and other environmental variables are also contributing to an increase in wildfire incidences in North America. This region's significant concentration of forests makes wildfire trucks a common tool. In 2022, about 16% of North Americans lived in fire-prone areas, and in the next 30 years, that number is expected to rise to 30%, according to a Washington Post Analysis article. Due to the intensity and frequency of these wildfires, there is an increased need for specialist fire engines that can efficiently handle large-scale catastrophes. In the upcoming years, this demand is expected to grow.
The key players present in North America are Pierce Manufacturing, Rosenbauer America, E-ONE, Spartan Emergency Response, Smeal Fire Apparatus, KME Fire Apparatus, HME Ahrens-Fox, Seagrave Fire Apparatus, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, and Sutphen Corporation.
