Europe Passive Fire Protection Market To Reach $1.50 Billion By 2030

Europe Passive Fire Protection Market Growth & Trends

The Europe passive fire protection market size is expected to reach USD 1.50 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.3% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Favorable fire safety regulations coupled with rising demand for fire protection in steel, oil and gas, and construction industries are likely to drive the market.

The construction of buildings is changing as new building designs usually feature open spaces with few barriers. In addition, buildings are becoming increasingly airtight and insulated with more combustibles within the building structure. These changes cause a fire in buildings that spread faster and become more hazardous, thereby driving the market.

In most European countries, the national government establishes fire regulations, which are usually in line with the regulations proposed by the European Union. With the amendments to the Regulatory Reform Order and introduction of CE marking, the construction industry in Europe has witnessed an increased demand for effective and compliant fire protection products.

The rapid spread of the COVID-19 in Europe resulted in containment measures in almost the entire region. This resulted in restrictions on construction activities, i.e., either complete or partial shutdowns. Since, the market is directly related to its penetration in construction activities, a downturn in the industry is anticipated to restrict the market growth.
