Smoke Pressure System Market Analysis

Smoke Pressure System Market Analysis

In the stairwell pressurization system market, roof mounted solutions are expected to grow at a CAGR of over 6% from 2018 to 2024. A stairwell can be pressurized with a single-roof mounted propeller system due to its enhanced capability of smoke control. The pressurization unit can be located anywhere, however the entry or exit doors at the ground level remain open during emergencies, the top locations are usually preferred to prevent the short-circuiting of air. For high-rise buildings, the preferred distribution arrangement is a vertical duct that runs adjacent to the pressurized spaces. Distribution can be achieved by a single fan serving a vertical duct with horizontal branches to every floor or multiple plants that serve multiple floors.
 

Supply air fan unit accounted for more than 50% share of the stairwell pressurization system market in 2017. Low installation cost coupled with the ease-of-use provided by this equipment will propel the industry demand over the future. In addition, the presence of stringent regulations, standards, and certification demands that assure end users of the reliability of these solutions has provided the potential for the growth of the stairwell pressurization system market. This equipment is positioned to avoid toxic gases and smoke entering the stairs, especially when located at high levels.
 

The U.S. smoke pressure system market is expected to grow at over 7% CAGR over the forecast timespan. Growing construction sector coupled with the stable economic conditions in the region is favoring the construction of technologically-advanced buildings with the latest fire safety measures. In the U.S., the design of smoke control systems for infrastructures takes place in accordance with the NFPA 92 Standard for Smoke Control Systems. According to the NFPA, the U.S. fire department responded to an average of 358,500 home structure fires (estimated) per year during 2011-2015. The rising cases of fire accidents reported in the country have led to an increased demand for reliable and technologically-advanced smoke pressure system, thereby contributing to the stairwell pressurization system market growth.
