Industry Trends and Drivers:

Rising Industrial Fire Incidents:

That is true because fire occurrence in some segments demonstrated an increase in the industrial segments, and thus this major demographical factor plays a role in the use of the firefighting foam. Some industries like the oil and gas, chemical production and energy industries may have processes with huge risk indication of fire breakout due to the products processed and materials used. Bush fires which occur in these sectors are huge, complicated and frequent hence; require effective means of extinguishing the fire to prevent many losses. High expansion foam, as a function of area coverage and rapid fire knock down, is appearing as that indispensable in these high risk industries. Furthermore, the regulatory authorities of many countries are increasing their expectations concerning the use of the efficient fire control systems by industries. This pressure for spurring the ‘safety compliance is in turn strengthening the uptake of the firefighting foam as the best solution. Based on this reasoning it is found out that due to the expanded increase in the industries together with expand increase in new economy especially at the developing world thus creating demand of the use of the firefighting foam in incidences of fires.

Increased Awareness of Fire Safety:

Consciousness regarding safety from fire is one of the main factors that may may have faster growth in the market. Due to the fact that fire risks lead to monumental loss of property and lives, there is increasing call for better fire suppression methods across many sectors. Governments, organizations, and fire safety association across the world have waked up the people on fire safety and due to this awareness, governments and construction industries all over the world have drawn strict fire safety measures. This is serving to create much needed high performance firefighting ;needs; and foam based one at that. In addition, fire informative projects and preventive educational seminars enhance the fire-related perception between the public and the industries. Firefighting foam has been considered as suitable and versatile suppressant in extinguishment operations and therefore has been featured in operating time of very short and is getting valued in fire protection options. The central notion of preventing the disasters has shifted attention to preparedness and now it is making both the commercial institutions and the public to spend on better fire suppression systems.

Innovation in Foam Formulations:

There continues to be new developments in the formulation of foam, which is very supportive to the growth of the market. Now that the environment is turning into a major concern producers are developing improved and efficient types of the firefighting foam that emits little of or no pollutant at all. The fluorinated foams of the old generation have beenquestioned with regard to their effects on the environment ; thus new fluoro-carbon free and bio-sourced foams exist. These new mixtures can satisfy environmental legislation on emission without compromise of fire extinguishing effectiveness – a feature that puts them in high regard in industries that regard environmental impact as paramount. Also, there is rising signs that complex staking is being planned with a view to accomplishing Type of Foam to extinguish some classes of fires, specifically; Class-A, Class-B, and Class-C fire. These formulations enhance firefighting capabilities in a number of sectors and application including oil and chemical fire, residential and business/commercial fire and many others.
