Industry Insights

The global portable fire extinguisher market size was accounted for USD 8.1 billion, in 2018 and is anticipated to grow at 10.2% CAGR over the forecast period, 2019 to 2025.

Further, stringent government measures and policies making the installation of extinguishers mandatory will have a positive impact on the growth of the market.

The rising demand for easy-to-move and lightweight extinguishers is uplifting the demand for extinguishers.

Carbon dioxide portable extinguishers are anticipated to witness significant growth in the forecast period due to their rising demand from the commercial sector. These products are very effective for class B and K types of fire, leaving no residue and collateral damage. Also, foam and water extinguishers are anticipated to witness considerable growth in the forecast period. The cooling effect of foam extinguishers diminishes the chances of re-ignition, making it more reliable. But the soaring prices of these extinguishers are a hindrance to its growth. Water extinguishers are commonly used amongst consumers and are available at very cheap prices but they can only extinguish class A fires.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively affected the growth of the market. The pandemic has resulted in the imposition of strict lockdown in several parts of the world. Owing to the lockdown, the supply chain activities were severely affected, which in turn, halted the production of portable fire extinguishers. Also, companies have reduced their spending on research and development owing to low demand.

On the other hand, the COVID-19 outbreak has led to the set-up of various healthcare facilities across the globe, therefore, generating the demand for the product. In addition, the pandemic impact is for the short term only and the market would continue its healthy run post-COVID period.
