Wet sprinklers are the most widely adopted systems across industries due to their effectiveness, reliability, ease of modification, and low installation and maintenance cost.
Dry sprinklers are the second fastest growing segment and are generally used in warehouses, garages, and other unheated spaces. They require high maintenance and are ideal for facilities that require to maintain a temperature above 40-degree Celsius.
INSIGHTS BY END-USERS
The compliance to stringent safety norms and building codes has positively affected the market
The commercial, industrial, residential, educational institutions and government sectors are the largest end-users. The commercial sector dominated the segment, growing at a CAGR of close to 10% during 2018–2024. The implementation of stringent safety norms and building codes mandated by regulatory bodies worldwide has positively affected the sprinkler market. The adoption of fire sprinkler systems in offices, warehouses, retail stores, workshops, and other commercial environments is immensely contributing to the revenue of the in the commercial sector.
The industrial sector was the second largest adopter of fire sprinkler systems. Industrial sectors such as oil and gas, mining, manufacturing, plants, and powerhouses are the most significant industrial end-users of fire alarm systems. Further, the increased emphasis on smart homes that are equipped with smart fire alarm systems has increased the revenue of the residential sector significantly.
INSIGHTS BY TECHNOLOGY
Smart fire sprinkler systems are gaining popularity with the growing application of IoT, AI, and blockchain
The global fire sprinkler market by technology is segmented as smart and non-smart. A non-smart/traditional sprinkler covers maximum market share and is growing at a CAGR of more than 9% during 2018–2024. New-age non-smart fire sprinkler systems are designed on the CAD system and are prefabricated before installation. These systems primarily use water as a suppression agent and are well suited for offices, homes, and warehouses. The advantages of these systems that would positively impact its adoption during the forecast period are as follows:
- Use of water is its primary advantage as it is environmentally safe
- Automatic activation upon detection of fire
Smart sprinkler systems, on the other hand, are gaining popularity with growing applications of IoT, AI, and blockchain. Many regions are moving toward mandating automatic fire sprinkler system in the residential sector as they are more effective during contingencies and exigencies — these systems proactive safety after they are connected to the cloud platform.
