DATA CENTER FIRE DETECTION AND SUPPRESSION MARKET OUTLOOK

The global data center fire detection and suppression market size was valued at USD 730 million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 1131.6 million by 2026, growing at a cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) of 7.58% during the forecast period. The increasing innovations in server virtualization and the adoption of AI-based servers fuel the demand for fire and safety products.

Data centers enable the continuity of digital business operations across the globe. They are significant consumers of power and comprise IT infrastructure that consists of servers and storage devices. The global data center fire detection and suppression systems market is mainly dominated by colocation providers, followed by internet and cloud service providers.

The increasing innovations in server virtualization and the adoption of AI-based servers fuel the demand for fire and safety products such as fire detection, heat detectors, alarms, and fire control systems. Datacenter operators are designing their facility with the zoned-based installation of fire detection and suppression systems to avoid triggering fire control systems in the whole space. The Middle East is an emerging market as the data center facilities are likely to adopt suppression systems across the region. The data center fire suppression market witnessed significant growth with more than 400 new data center investment and expansion projects in 2020.

DATA CENTER FIRE DETECTION AND SUPPRESSION MARKET: KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• In APAC, gaseous fire suppression systems dominated around 89% of the overall fire suppression market share. 
• In October 2020, Honeywell introduced its Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS) - a cloud-based fire safety system, to minimize the inspection, maintenance, and reporting fire breakout in the facilities.  
• In June 2021, Amazon Web Services (AWS) Frankfurt data center, the air circulation systems failed. The fire extinguishing system removed oxygen from the air preventing the staff from entering the data hall for over an hour. Such incidents promote the need for efficient fire detection and suppression systems.
• Over the past two years, there has been a surge in colocation data center investments in regions such as Morocco, Kenya, Botswana, Nigeria, Israel, Senegal, and more. The rising adoption of colocation facilities is increasing the data center fire detection and suppression market share.
• In terms of fire infrastructure, the market is estimated to witness an increase in the adoption of a gas-based fire extinguisher system with a clean agent fire extinguisher.

KEY OPPORTUNITIES IN THE MARKET

• The Nordic region is becoming the hub for cloud service providers and large enterprise facility operators, creating new opportunities for vendors to offer innovative products.   
• The growing adoption of rack power density is likely to increase the demand for advanced fire suppression systems. It will create growth opportunities for the players in the industry.
• Colocation investments are boosting the fire & safety infrastructure procurement across the data center market. 

KEY COMPANIES & MARKET SHARE INSIGHTS

Advanced Safety System Integrators, Cannon Fire Protection, Carrier, Danfoss Group, Pro Delta Fire Safety Systems (DELTA), Encore Fire Protection, Fike, and Fireboy-Xintex are prominent vendors in the industry. Datacenter operators can include the fire detection system into the enclosure as an integrated component. Most facility operators with Tier III or IV standards prefer to install gas-based fire-control systems instead of water-based systems. 

GEOGRAPHICAL INSIGHTS

The US is the leading data center market in the North American region. The growing demand for data centers across significant businesses boosts the US's need for fire extinguishing systems. In 2020, around 145 facilities were identified in the region, of which over 130 facilities are in the US. Most of the facilities are equipped with gas suppression systems. For instance, FIFTEENFORTYSEVEN CRITICAL SYSTEMS REALTY’s Chicago facility is equipped with Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) systems and suppression systems FM200 INERGEN fire. The data center fire detection and suppression systems market in North America is expected to reach USD 512.8 million by 2026.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

The vendors are offering fire and safety solutions connected to the internet so that the systems can be handled remotely. The new entrants in the data center fire detection market capture the major share in the developing data center markets. Some of the leading vendors are involved in the research and development of new fire extinguisher agents and innovating the product to overcome the competition in the industry. The local vendors compete with global vendors in offering fire extinguishing system sub-products and accessories such as pipes, valves, and sprinklers. The fire detection and suppression systems market will face strong competition in developed and matured regions such as North America, China, Japan, and Western European countries.
