Market Dynamics
Introduction
Fire protection systems play an essential role in preventing fire from spreading. The procedures include fire blankets, sprinklers, extinguishers, and halon or gas systems. These are required to reduce losses due to fire accidents and the rising number of deaths due to fire. Fire protection systems have prevented fire quickly and accurately rather than the traditional heat or smoke devices used in the past. Furthermore, when fire sensors and detectors are installed in commercial/residential buildings, they serve as an ideal and affordable safety measure to keep the surroundings safe.
Market Drivers
The fire control system market is driven by a host of factors, some of which are noted below:
- The advent of expensive modern electronic systems has necessitated compliance with fire safety standards. As a result, increasing severity has forced many companies to adopt fire safety systems.
- Growing awareness of asset safety and security is projected to present a significant opportunity for market technological advancements.
- Global demand for such sophisticated Fire Safety Systems is anticipated to rise as the world continues its transition away from a risk-based strategy towards Inspection/Testing/Maintenance (ITM).
- In applications where other detection methods are incompatible or hostile, new breakthroughs enable the use of computer algorithms and cameras to study the visible effects of fire.
As several people are improving their lifestyles, they are concerned about fire protection equipment and are installing it in houses and buildings. These are factors responsible for the market growth. Fire protection systems such as alarm valves and sprinkler systems are mainly used. The plan will help to detect and respond to fire smoke or flame.
Additionally, a lockdown in several countries was observed due to the second wave of the outbreak. This further reduced the production of new fire protection systems due to supply chain disruption across countries and regions. However, the fire protection market is expected to grow to post the pandemic. The increasing urban population and the need to safeguard life and the environment from fire emergencies are expected to boost the demand for fire protection systems in the assessment period.

By System Type
The fire control system market is divided into target acquisition and guidance systems, navigation systems, power systems, auxiliary systems, ballistics computers, display and interface units, stabilization systems, and others. Target Acquisition & Guidance System is further subdivided into Fire Control Radar, Sonar, Electro-Optic and Infrared, Gun Director, and Rangefinder. The target acquisition & guidance system is expected to remain the largest market during the forecast period. Due to the increasing demand for military spending in various emerging countries, the target acquisition & guidance system plays an essential role in detecting and guiding weapons. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in the operation of weapon systems with the help of EO/IR, fire control radar, and gun director in targeting and guiding weapons to hit targets. It is helpful on all three platforms: airborne, land, and naval.
By Platform Type
The market is bifurcated into land, naval, and airborne. The airborne segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Every other fighter aircraft and helicopter/chopper is installed with fire control systems. Furthermore, Airborne platforms have evolved to support multi-mission warfare machines capable of conducting various missions. These platforms can be used for air defense, close air support, bombing, command & control, air dominance, reconnaissance, and other roles.
By Weapon Class Type
The market is segmented as automatic guns and launchers. The launchers account for the largest market share in 2022, attributed to high-adoption land, airborne, and naval platforms for surface-to-air warfare to engage with main battle tanks and other armored fighting vehicles.
By Range Type
The market is segmented as short-range (0-9 Km), medium-range (9-80 Km), and long-range (Above 80 Km). The medium-range (9-80 km) accounts for the largest market share in 2022; the medium range is more affordable than the long-range and is extensively used in war zones to help aim targets with maximum accuracy.
