- The global fire protection systems market is forecast to reach US$118.14 billion by 2030, growing at 6.8% CAGR from 2025.
- IoT, AI, cloud connectivity and predictive maintenance are driving a shift towards more intelligent and integrated fire safety systems.
- Industrial applications are forecast to be a major growth area, while maintenance and lifecycle services are creating additional opportunities for providers.
According to MarketsandMarkets, the market is expected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8% between 2025 and 2030. Rapid urbanisation, infrastructure development, stricter fire safety requirements and greater focus on life and asset protection are identified among the key factors driving growth.
Technology is also reshaping the way fire risks are detected and managed. IoT-enabled detectors, wireless sensors, AI-based monitoring, video analytics, cloud connectivity and predictive maintenance are increasingly being incorporated into fire safety systems.
Rather than operating as standalone equipment, modern systems can connect detectors, control panels, suppression equipment, building management platforms and remote monitoring services. For commercial buildings, industrial facilities, warehouses and data centres, this creates the potential to monitor multiple systems and locations through centralised platforms.
The industrial sector is expected to be particularly significant, with MarketsandMarkets forecasting a 7.3% CAGR between 2025 and 2030. The report points to continued demand across manufacturing, oil and gas, energy, chemical processing and other industrial environments where fire risks can have significant consequences.
Fire suppression is also expected to remain a major area of demand. The segment is forecast to account for approximately 36.4% of the market, with interest extending to technologies including foam-based and water mist systems.
Alongside equipment, maintenance is becoming an increasingly important part of the market. Regular inspection, testing, performance validation and compliance requirements are creating opportunities for remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, service contracts, software subscriptions and system upgrades.
However, the increasing sophistication of fire safety systems also presents challenges. Installation and maintenance costs can rise as systems become more complex, while integrating equipment from different manufacturers can create interoperability and configuration issues.
Overall, the market outlook points towards a continued move away from standalone fire protection equipment towards connected systems that combine detection, suppression, monitoring and maintenance as part of a wider fire safety ecosystem.
