Passive fire protection materials encompass a wide range of products and practices. In simple terms, these materials stop, prevent, and slow down the fire spread. Unlike to active fire protection system, these materials do not require some amount of action or motion to work efficiently.
These materials can be embedded within the existing materials, buildings and structure. Additionally, they have very low maintenance cost compared to active fire protection systems and materials.
Countries across the world have suitably changed regulations in favor of these materials on account of their benefits at low cost. For instance, in United Kingdom, building owners, designers, occupiers and managers are required to carry out regular fire risk assessments along with evaluation of materials provided.
The expanding building & construction sector in the countries of Asia Pacific and Latin America, will significantly increase the demand for passive fire protection materials over the forecast period. Rapid economic growth and increasing population in Asia Pacific shall rise the drive the passive fire protection materials market growth in coming years.
Additionally, increasing social infrastructure investment and high demand of residential & commercial buildings in growing economies shall have positive impact on overall industry growth.
Most of the megacities and metros around the world are constructing high rise buildings to tackle the shortage of land or space. As cities are growing vertically, there is more need for fireproof materials in the buildings and structures.
Governments and regulatory bodies are tightening the regulations regarding fire safety thus, giving the added advantage to passive fire protection materials market. For example, Ministry of Public Security, China, strengthened the fire safety for high-rise buildings and issued a draft regarding the same in 2018. The industry is also benefiting from rising awareness of fireproof materials in building and construction.
Growing importance of fireproof materials along with rising number of regulations regarding fire safety shall primarily drive the passive fire protection materials market trends over the forecast timeframe. For instance, in October 2018, United Kingdom announced ban on combustible materials from the facades of all new high-rise buildings.
Fluctuating raw material prices and global economy slowdown can pose a threat to overall market in coming years. However, significant rise in building & construction activity and stringent laws and regulations regarding fire safety will generate numerous opportunities for global passive fire protection materials market players.

Intumescent materials shall drive the market
Get more details on this report - Request Free Sample PDF
Intumescent materials’ is the highest growing segment among all the product segments. The segment is likely to witness around 8.5% CAGR during forecast period. Intumescent materials are widely used for protection of structural steel applications in various industries. The segment holds major passive fire protection materials market share owing to its increasing application in building & construction industry followed by applications in oil & gas, transportation, etc.
These materials/coatings can expand up to 25 times upon exposure forming a fire resistance char. Intumescent material are essential for construction of steel structures and are preferred by various end use industries. Expanding oil and gas industry is likely to increase the demand for intumescent materials in coming years.
Rising emphasis on regulations shall drive PFP materials consumption on structural application
Structural fire protection is primarily used for containment and prevention of fires in building & construction sector. These materials protect key structural elements such as steel and timber members. As these structures are key load bearing components, protecting them from fire is important and crucial. Therefore, regulatory bodies are stressing on the application of fire protective coatings and materials for structural protection.
Product demand in the U.S. will be driven by enormous oil & gas production
