FIRE RESISTANT PAINT MARKET ANALYSIS

Every year, a significant amount of people die due to fire breakouts. According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in 2014, every day seven people die due to home fires in the U.S. Such home fires have turned the focus on paints that do not contain any fire retardants. In fact, they are inflammable. That is why fire retardant paints have been in demand in the recent past, due to their ability to slow down fires. Although modern buildings are equipped with fire alerts and sprinklers, to suppress the unexpected fire, paints with fire retardants are crucial. Moreover, fire-resistant paints are used in high-end industries where expensive machinery is present.

Market Outlook

Global fire resistant paints market size is projected to expand significantly and is expected to register a CAGR of 6.67% over the forecast period (2019-2027). Growing adoption of fire-resistant paints in industrial buildings is expected to drive growth of the market during the forecast period. Fire-resistant paints applied on wall, wooden surfaces and other materials and surfaces help to suppress the fire in case of any breakout. This is expected to boost market growth in the near future. Furthermore, an increasing number of fire accidents around the world has made fire-resistant paints a primary requirement. This is expected to increase the demand for fire-resistant paints and thereby support the market growth during the forecast period.
