What is firefighting foam?

Firefighting Foam is a type of foam that is used in the suppression of fire. The foam is used in cooling the fire by cutting off the fuel contact with the oxygen in the air. Firefighting Foam can be of different types such as aqueous film-forming foam, alcohol-resistant aqueous film-forming foam, protein foam, synthetic detergent foam, and others. Oil & gas, aviation, marine, mining, and others are some of the applications industries where firefighting foam is used.

Market Dynamics

The firefighting foam marke is driven by a host of factors, some of which are noted below:

An increase in fire-related accidents, particularly in the oil and gas industry, increases demand for effective safety measures such as firefighting foam.

Furthermore, the government's strict rules and regulations require fire safety measures.

Due to its characteristics, including better expansion ratios, foam stability, resilience to higher temperatures, and effectively cutting off the oxygen supply to a fire, firefighting foam is becoming more and more popular.

Wildfires have occurred more frequently in the United States, destroying an estimated 198,797 acres of land and 503 buildings.

Water bodies become contaminated as a result of the PFAO's propensity to leach into the soil and groundwater supply.

However, as public awareness of the inclusion of PFOS and PFAS in firefighting foam contaminating drinking water sources has grown, acts and laws restricting the use of fluorine-based firefighting foam have been enacted.

Meanwhile, research and development initiatives for fluorine-free firefighting foam are likely to provide a lucrative prospect for industry expansion.

However, it is projected that the industry would be impacted by growing worries about the use of harmful chemicals used in the production of firefighting foam, such as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perflperfluorooctanoic (PFOA).

Segment Analysis

Type

The market is segmented as aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), alcohol-resistant aqueous film-forming foam (AR-AFFF), protein foam, synthetic detergent foam (High & Mid Expansion Foam), and others. The aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) segment dominated the market with the highest share in 2022 & is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period. Due to its extensive usage by the oil & gas industry, which is due to the huge risk of fires from flammable liquids. AFFF is favored as it owns such fires effectively and bears a longer shelf life.

End-Use Industry Trends

The market is segmented as oil & gas, aviation, marine, mining, and others. The oil & gas end-use industry held the largest market share in 2022 & is the largest consumer of firefighting foam. This high consumption is on account of the grave risk of fire accidents and the efficiency of firefighting foam in fighting out such fire outbreaks.

Regional Analysis

Asia-Pacific held a significant market share in 2022 & is the largest and fastest-growing market for firefighting foam and is estimated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period as well. The market is driven by various countries, adopting downstream activities, such as refining and processing because of the increasing demand for oil & gas in the region. Further, the enormous investments by various national oil companies in the region are boosting the growth of the oil & gas industry and hence, these factors are underpinning the demand for firefighting foam in the Asia-Pacific region. North America and Europe are also expected to offer substantial growth opportunities in the coming five years.
