Market Overview

The fire fighting foam market refers to the global industry responsible for producing and selling foam-based products that are useful during fire fighting activities. The benefits of fire fighting foam include tackling fire components like fuel, heat, and oxygen from many angles, cushioning surfaces and fuel sources to prevent reignition, extinguishing liquid fires in 3 states including cooling, smothering, and removing fuel sources, providing short-term fire barrier, cooling surface temperatures, reducing the amount of water required to fight fires, etc.

  • According to WHO, an estimated 1,80,000 deaths are caused by burns every year, and it occurs in low and middle-income countries. Burns occur mainly in the workplace and at home. In India, over 1 million people are severely or moderately burnt every year. About 1,73,000 Bangladeshi children are severely or moderately burnt every year. In Colombia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Egypt, 18% of children with burns have a permanent disability, and 17% have a temporary disability.
  • Rising industrial fire incidences: The most common causes of industrial fire incidents include intentional fire, heating equipment, electrical distribution, and lighting equipment which contribute to the growth of the market.
  • Oil and gas industries expansion: In the oil & gas industry, the principal cause of the fire is the ignition of flammable vapors from auxiliary motors & mobile engines, and improper hot work practices lead to the growth of the fire fighting foam market.

Technological advancements driving the market

The advanced technologies used in fire fighting foam benefits include the systems helping to suppress fires by forming foam blankets that seal off the fuel surface and prevent flammable vapor releases. Advanced technologies in foam systems focus on enhancing foam generation, proportion, and distribution. This also includes research and development of new environmentally friendly foams with improved extinguishing potentials, including green fire fighting foams (GFFF), fluorine-free foams (FFF), and others.

  • In February 2024, an innovative product, the eco-friendly ‘enviroFoam’ fire extinguisher range, was launched by a trade-only fire safety supplier, CheckFire Ltd. This new product helps to provide fire safety solutions to class B flammable liquid fires as well as environmentally responsible.
  • However, the environmental concerns include a negative impact on the environment from the discharge of foam solutions. These factors can hamper the growth of the fire fighting foam market.

Recent Development by NIST

  • In September 2023, a new series of reference materials was released by the researchers at the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). It contains precise measurements of PFAS (per and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) called forever chemicals in firefighting foams.

Recent Development by CN

  • In June 2024, two new firefighting trains and two additional carriages for their fleet were launched by Canadian rail operator CN. It helps to protect the supply chain, fire mitigation, and suppression fleet. Railcar safety releases many forms of fire prevention and suppression materials, including fire retardants, water, and foams.

Regional Insights

North America is estimated to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period of 2024-2033. Strict regularities related to fire safety drive the growth of the fire fighting foam market in the North American region. A high number of users like oil & gas, manufacturing, and other industries in the North American region. Rising fire-related accidents and wildfires in the United States due to human negligence and atmospheric changes have led to the growth of the market.

  • In March 2024, in Columbia, the new Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) Takeback Program to collect and destroy PFAS-laden fighting foam was launched by Ohio. The first of its kind in the country, this program is in collaboration between the Ohio EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), the State Fire Marshal’s Office, and the science & technology Company Battelle.

Asia Pacific dominated the fire fighting foam market in 2023. The lack of proper industrial safety led to increased fire accidents, a high number of shares of chemical production worldwide, and dry atmospheric conditions in many countries in the Asia Pacific region, which led to the growth of the market. In China and India, rapidly growing industries like chemical, aviation, automation, marine, and others contribute to the growth of the market in the Asia Pacific region.

  • In September 2023, Swadeshi Empresa developed firefighting robots for the Indian Navy. Trials of firefighting robots under the SPRINT initiative were undertaken onboard the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant. It detects the fire and extinguishes it using a spray/water/foam jet and keeps people away from danger.
