Market Dynamics:
Driver: Growing urbanization will drive the growth of the construction industry
The construction industry is becoming larger and complex. According to the Global Construction Perspective, the global construction market is expected to grow to USD 8 trillion by 2030. This growth will be driven by the US, China, and India. Growth in construction industry in the US is attributed to the high demand for housing and commercial places. The construction industry in APAC and Europe is expected to grow significantly over the next few years, driven by the increasing infrastructure spending in both regions despite the challenges in the financial market. Rising urbanization in emerging markets such as China, India, Indonesia, and Nigeria is anticipated to accelerate infrastructure spending for vital infrastructure sectors, including transportation, water & wastewater treatment, and power. This, in turn, will urge infrastructure financing toward consumer sectors, including manufacturing and transportation, which facilitate producing and distributing raw materials for consumer goods. Growth in new and retrofit infrastructure has heavily boosted the construction industry in developing countries. With new development plans and projects, the use of construction equipment is also growing. In the construction industry, there have been tremendous advancements in facility management in developing nations over the past several years, especially in the area of building automation. Installation of fire protection systems in buildings has become common, as these systems are useful in detecting, containing, and extinguishing fires at an early stage. Advanced technologies have been developed for communicating during fires, which enables quick deployment of response teams to the affected site.
Further, the construction industry is now focusing on connected construction technology, it is defined as an ecosystem of connected job sites, workers and machines that promotes operational effectiveness and safety of related assets, property, and workplace workers. In this connected construction technology, the sensors and tags link with job sites, machines, and workers, helps to provide the real-time visibility and analytical capabilities to the manager. Hence, as the technological development are rising in this industry and owing to the growth, the demand for fire protection systems will also increase.
Restraint: Lack of global testing, inspection, and certification standards and relaxation of certification norms offered to SMEs by some government authorities
Testing, inspection, and certification standards for end-use applications and end-user industries differ from country to country. Thus, the lack of global standards affects market growth. Different countries are known for the export and import of different items. For instance, the textile industry in India has higher exports and imports than other countries; therefore, India is witnessing a surging demand for testing, inspection, and certification services for textile applications in the country. The testing, inspection, and certification market growth is driven by companies who strictly want to adhere to defined standards, and the growth is hampered when the country has relaxed norms pertaining to import and export. Small to medium-sized testing, inspection, and certification companies face challenges in terms of receiving accreditation due to the requirement for huge capital. Additionally, each country has different certification standards. For instance, the US and China have more certification standards for electronics, while Europe has a high number of certification standards for the automotive sector. Also, the Middle East and Europe have a high number of certification standards for oil & gas industries. Many times, this creates conflict between local and international standards, thereby hindering the market growth.
Opportunity: Adoption of foam-based fire detection systems owing to less negative impact on the environment
The foam-based fire protection system is an aggregate of air-filled bubbles, which is formed from aqueous solutions, and has the lower density than the other flammable liquids. This foam-based system is mainly used to design a coherent floating blanket on flammable and combustible liquids to prevent the fires by excluding air and cooling the fuel. Further, this system also helps to prevent the re-ignition by suppressing the formation of flammable vapours, and it sticks to the surfaces, providing protection from adjacent fires. Foam based fir detection system can be used as fire control, prevention, or extinguishing agent for processing industrial areas like refineries, oil & gas, and commercial area.
The benefits of foam-based fire detection systems include they are quite efficient and effective when used correctly. They have very minimum negative impact on environmental. Moreover, the foaming agent in this system can be readily biodegradable in natural environments and sewage treatment facilities. Foam based fire suppression systems can cover larger areas, filling a huge warehouse for example, in mere seconds. These systems are considered as an ideal if we need an extinguishing agent to dump and expand to cover a huge area fast. In addition, foam-based suppression systems are considered as more cost effective from both an installation and maintenance point of view. Hence, their demand is growing so rapidly in the market.
Challenge: Low adoption rate of innovative technologies in fire protection system TIC services
The sluggish adoption of innovative technologies in fire protection system Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) services can be attributed to cost concerns, as these advanced solutions can require significant upfront investments. Additionally, the industry's conservative nature and stringent safety regulations and standards create a reluctance to change well-established practices. Limited awareness and understanding of the benefits of emerging technologies also hinder adoption. To address this, stakeholders should be educated about the advantages, including improved efficiency, accuracy, and safety, that these innovations can bring to fire protection systems, ultimately encouraging their wider integration into TIC services.
