Asia Pacific Fire Door Market

Asia Pacific Fire Door Market Size

The Asia Pacific fire door market was valued at USD 4 billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow from USD 4.3 billion in 2025 to USD 8 billion in 2034, at a CAGR of 7.3%, according to latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.

The Asia-Pacific fire door market is experiencing growth due to the stringent fire safety regulations and building codes. Governments across the region are implementing updated safety standards to minimize fire hazards in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. For instance, the National Building Code of India (NBC) mandates fire-resistant doors in high-rise buildings, this regulatory push is driving the adoption of fire doors across the region. While Singapore follows the BS EN 1634-1 standard for fire resistance, companies like Sanwa, manufacture doors such as the DSST-R Lightweight Fire-Resistant Steel Door to meet these strict standards.

Also, growth of the fire door market is due to the rapid growth of construction and infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region. China and India are undergoing urbanization, in addition to a rise in investments in infrastructure projects. The Asian Development Bank reports that Asia will need USD 1.7 trillion a year for infrastructure until 2030. The increase in construction activity correlates with an increase in fire door requirements for code compliance.

Manufacturers like Allegion Plc., ASSA ABLOY, and Dormakaba are using advanced fire door technologies to satisfy this increased demand such as intumescent seals made from hydrated sodium silicate and intercalated graphite that expand under heat to block smoke and flames. These manufacturers are focusing on innovation and complying with the regional codes to gain market share in the fire door market. For instance, ASSA ABLOY manufactures fire-rated doors such as the ProMetal Fire Rated Door to meet the new safety codes for the Asia Pacific market.

Government initiatives, alongside government association guidelines such as Fire and Security Association of India (FSAI) is heavily pushing fire safety awareness and compliance to technical guidelines that will comply with IS 3614:2021 and NBC 2016 along with other technical provisions. China’s Ministry of Emergency Management mentions that under the Article 9, Fire Protection Law of the People's Republic of China (2021 Amendment) all construction projects must comply with safety regulations including non-combustible materials and fire-rated materials, this was done in order to reduce the financial losses incurred during the fire incidents, with over USD 20 billion so far.

The use of fire doors surged after 2020 because of new safety standards. Bunka Shutter, Chase Doors, and China Buyang have increased their product offerings for the market. Chase Doors has UL-certified Durulite Industrial Fire Doors rated for up to 90 minutes while China Buyang has CE- and UL-certified steel and wooden fire doors rated for 30 to 120 minutes and EN1634-certified fire shutters. The steady growth of fire door is expected to continue with increasing safety awareness and regulation across Asia-Pacific region.

Asia Pacific Fire Door Market Trends

Technological advancements are reshaping the market fueled by innovations that help in the development of fire doors in the region.

• The Asia-Pacific fire door market is experiencing competition as manufacturers expand their offerings and incorporate recent technologies such as IoT integration, e-glass and fire-resistant composites to satisfy differing safety and architectural requirements. One example, UL-listed Durulite Industrial Fire Doors offered by Chase Doors that features both impact ratings and fire ratings of up to 90 minutes. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) reports that fire incidents in the region exceed USD 20 billion in economic loss annually, which is a significant impetus to create or implement enhanced fire protections.
  
• There is also a growing trend of retrofitting existing buildings with compliant fire doors in urbanized parts of the Asia-Pacific region. Governments in the region, including China and India, are establishing stringent enforcement for building and fire safety laws and codes. The governments of India’s USD 7.5 billion Smart Cities Mission project are forcing discussions for upgrades and retrofitting fire safety systems into infrastructure. The idea is to rejuvenate an aging infrastructure to meet increased safety codes and to ensure civilian safety in dense urban centers.
  
• The demand for the usage of eco-friendly materials in the Asia-Pacific fire door market is also on the rise due to the increase in focus on sustainability. The Asia-Pacific Green Building Council is estimating that there is going to be 12% annual growth in green-certified buildings in the Asia-Pacific region, which will create a greater demand for sustainable construction materials in the region. For example, Nihon Funen integrates recycled steel and eco-conscious designs into its fire doors. Their CIM-integrated systems reduce waste and energy use, aligning with sustainability goals.
  
• Facility management specialists are now creating fire doors in a digital twin environment for predictive maintenance and coordination of compliance measures. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), predictive maintenance using these technologies reduces fire incidents by 30%. For example, Siemens provides residents with digital twin applications such as the Siemens Fire Digital Twin, that allows users to simulate fire-resistance performance in real-time by embedding fire safety systems into a digital twin.
  
• Manufacturers are providing modular fire door kits to facilitate installation and retrofitting, especially in congested urban areas. Prefabricated construction is emerging in countries like Japan, South Korea, and Australia, making up to 15% of new building projects in those countries in 2023, driven by demand for faster, more sustainable construction methods. ASSA ABLOY, for example, offers modular fire door systems since they allow for rapid assembly and are frequently used in prefabricated buildings.

Steel fire doors manufactured by the ASSA ABLOY and Dormakaba groups are preferred because they are durable, require less maintenance, and can withstand heavy utilization.
  
• Steel fire doors help to comply with strict international fire safety codes such as the International Building Code (IBC), and those framed by the NFPA. Generally, fire-rated steel doors with up to 3-hour ratings are utilized in office settings and manufacturing buildings. The increased safety provided with fire-rated doors can also lead to reduced insurance premiums for businesses as well.
  

Based on end use of the Asia Pacific fire door market, it is divided into residential, commercial, industrial and government and critical infrastructure. The commercial segment held the largest share, generating a revenue of 2.1 billion.

• This rise can be attributed to various countries, including China and India, enforcing rigorous rules regarding fire safety that require fire doors to be installed in non-residential buildings, like office buildings, shopping malls, and hospitals. In 2023, the commercial construction sector in the region grew about 6%, generating more demand.
  
• The changing demographics, urbanization, and development of commercial buildings has contributed to the commercial sector being a major segment. The United Nations reports that more than 50% of the Asia Pacific population now lives in urban areas leading to a greater number of high-rise buildings and larger-scale commercial projects.
  
• For instance, the development of smart cities in India, such as the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, increased the amount of fire safety solutions, this is an opportunity for manufacturers to innovate and provide custom solutions to different regional needs.
  
• Furthermore, the continued emphasis on fire safety by businesses to reduce financial and reputational challenges continues to increase awareness. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), fire damage in commercial buildings exceeded $1 billion in 2022 in the Asia Pacific region.
