Construction and Manufacturing - GCC Fire Extinguishers Market

GCC Fire Extinguishers Market: Overview

Fire extinguishers are efficient fire protection devices that control or put out small fires that often erupt in residential or commercial places. However, the fire extinguishers are not supposed to be used during uncontrollable fire outbreaks. The device typically comprises a hand-held cylindrical Pressure Vessel. This vessel contains an agent that can be quickly discharged to put out fires, especially in emergency situations. The predominantly used fire extinguishers are the stored-pressure and cartridge-operated types. The former is the most common type of fire extinguisher used in cases of common fire hazards like restaurant kitchen fires; whereas, the latter has more industrial uses. 

GCC Fire Extinguishers Market: Dynamics

The GCC fire extinguishers market is projected to grow at a rapid pace over the upcoming years, supported by various favorable factors. The most significant factors likely to fuel the market growth are the expanding commercial and industrial sectors, surging applications across the residential sector, increasing cases of fire accidents, and rising government focus on protecting residential and commercial buildings and infrastructure.

Commercial buildings are highly prone to fire outbreaks since they are equipped with a wide range of electronic appliances, functional furniture, fittings & fixtures, and various electromechanical devices. Thus, efficient fire safety precautions are mandatory in these places to ensure the safety and security of all occupants’ lives. The need for installing firefighting equipment in commercial and residential spaces has dramatically increased over the years due to factors like the presence of flammable chemicals capable of aggravating fires and the lack of entry and exit points.

Hence, the market growth can be further attributed to the rapid industrialization, increasing construction activities, rise in public infrastructure development, and rising adoption of advanced fire safety measures. The other crucial factors that boost market growth include technological upgradation in fire-extinguishing equipment, ascending number of high-rise buildings, and significant usage across educational institutes, hospitals, research centers, public transport, and gas stations chemical facilities, and retail and hospitality verticals.
