消防泡沫市場 - 2024 年至 2029 年預測Firefighting Foam Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
預計在預測期(2024-2029年)滅火泡沫市場將以4.34%的複合年成長率成長。
消防泡沫是一種用於阻止氧氣接觸燃燒物質的消防材料。泡沫水溶液是將水和泡沫濃縮液以適當比例混合而製成的。產生濃縮滅火泡沫,與水以適當比例混合即成為滅火泡沫。市面上有多種類型的滅火泡沫,例如水成膜泡沫濃縮液 (AFFF)。水成膜泡沫濃縮液(AFFF) 有 1%、3% 和 6%濃縮液。它們由碳氫化合物界面活性劑、溶劑、含氟表面活性劑、少量鹽類和泡沫穩定劑等材料製成。以預混合料形式使用,適合與乾燥化學滅火劑一起使用。
滅火泡沫市場的主要促進因素是世界各地城市空間的擴張。 2021年,世界人口的56%將居住在都市區,2023年這一比例將增加至57%。城市人口的快速成長產生了對更好的住宅和住家周邊設施以及人身安全的需求。全世界都需要更好的火災監測和防護,這增加了對滅火泡沫的需求。
隨著大大小小的火災事件的不斷增加,全球滅火設備的使用量也不斷增加。保護公民的生命和財產的基本權利的需要在全世界範圍內日益增加。根據美國緊急災難管理署統計,2013年至2022年火災數量增加了12.2%,2022年達到1,504,500起火災。
同樣,2020年至2022年火災死亡人數也增加了8.29%。其中,做飯引起的火災是主要原因。消防泡沫對於平息和撲滅住宅和非住宅建築中的火災是必要的,因為它可以抑制烹飪物質引起的火災。由某些合成化學品製成的泡沫,例如耐醇水性成膜泡沫,可以控制極性(醇)和非極性(碳氫化合物)溶劑中的火災。對碳氫化合物火災的高效泡沫滅火材料的需求不斷成長。
消防泡沫可能有毒,包括其製造過程中使用的多氟烷基物質 (PFAS),可能會對使用地區的地下水和土壤造成嚴重損害。因此,對生物分解性的天然材料的需求日益增加。一個例子是消防大豆泡沫,它 100% 不含有意添加的全氟烷基物質和多氟烷基物質。它獲得了金級認證。它已通過 GreenScreen 認證,並由非營利組織清潔生產行動擁有。該產品的開發得到了美國豆農和聯合大豆委員會的支持。
這為美國大豆種植者創造了新的市場機會,並為消防員提供了永續的解決方案。另一個可行的選擇是發泡,它不含氟且生物分解性。根據歐洲指令,生物泡沫滅火器使用含氟表面活性劑以使其更具永續性。
城市人口的增加是滅火泡沫等生命財產安全設備需求的主要原因。根據世界銀行報告,到2050年,近十分之七的人將居住在都市區。都市化的加速、對經濟適用住宅的需求以及可行的基礎設施(包括交通系統和基本服務)是生活在城市環境中的人們所需要的。此外,還需要先進的消防技術和泡沫滅火技術。
美國火災造成的經濟損失不斷增加,預計 2022 年損失將達 181 億美元。因此,美國有必要改善消防安全。世界各地新興經濟體的建築和建設不斷增加,城市環境需要包括消防泡沫在內的消防技術。
中國、日本、印度、韓國等主要經濟體在亞太地區佔據主導地位。一些成長最快的新興經濟體位於該地區,例如東南亞國協。快速的經濟成長和都市化正在增加對可應用於各個層面的滅火解決方案的需求。從排名前七的城市可以看出,印度的住宅房地產產業蓬勃發展。 2022 年每季住宅需求將成長 18%。
此舉表明,人們生活在近距離,火災風險已顯著增加。此外,在新興經濟體中,中小企業所處的市場每天都有火災風險。據印度國家犯罪局稱,印度每60人中就有1人死於火災事故,迫切需要解決這一問題。
The firefighting foam market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.34% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Firefighting foam is a fire suppression substance used to prevent oxygen from reaching the combustion of the substance. The foam solution is made from the water and foam concentrate mixing in the right ratio. Foam concentrate is manufactured, which, when mixed with water at the right proportion, becomes a foam solution. There are several types of firefighting foam offered in the market, such as Aqueous film-forming foam concentrate (AFFF). Aqueous film-forming foam concentrate (AFFF) is available in the 1%, 3%, or 6% type concentrate. They are manufactured from material types such as hydrocarbon surfactants, solvents, fluorochemical surfactants, small amounts of salts, and foam stabilizers. They are used in the premix state and are suitable for use with dry chemical extinguishing agents.
The major driving factor behind the firefighting foam market is the growing urban spaces worldwide. In 2021, 56% of the global population was residing in the urban setting, which increased to 57% in 2023. This surge in the urban population required better housing and residential facilities and the safety of individuals. Better monitoring and protection from fire are needed worldwide, which would increase the demand for firefighting foam.
The use of firefighting equipment worldwide has been increasing with the increase in the number of fire incidents, big and small. There is a growing need to protect life and property worldwide, which is a basic right of the people. According to the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency, the number of fires increased by 12.2% from 2013 to 2022, and the number of fires in 2022 was 1,504,500.
Similarly, the number of deaths caused by fire has increased by 8.29% from 2020 to 2022. The fire caused by cooking is a major cause, among all other reasons. The firefighting foam is necessary to placate and control fire in residential and non-residential buildings as it could control fire caused by cooking substances. Foam from certain synthetic chemicals, such as Alcohol Resistant Aqueous Film film-forming foam, is capable of controlling fire with both polar (alcohol) and non-polar (hydrocarbon) solvents. There is a growing need for firefighting substances for the highly effective foam against hydrocarbon fires.
The firefighting foam can be toxic, containing poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are used in the manufacturing of these substances and could cause serious damage to the underground water and soil of the region under usage. Thus, there is a growing need for biodegradable and natural substances in their usage. One example is the Firefighting SoyFoam, which is 100% free of intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. This is certified at the Gold level. It is GreenScreen Certified and owned by the non-profit Clean Production Action. The development of the product is supported by U.S. soybean farmers and the United Soybean Board.
This created a new market opportunity for soy farmers in the United States, providing sustainable solutions for firefighters. Another prominent option is Bio-foam extinguishers, which are fluorine-free and biodegradable. According to European directives, bio-foam fire extinguishers are dispensed with perfluorinated surfactants for more sustainability.
The growing urban population is the major reason for the demand for firefighting foam and other equipment for the safety of life and property. According to the World Bank report, by 2050, nearly 7 out of 10 people will live in cities. The growth of urbanization, the need for affordable housing, and viable infrastructure, including transport systems and basic services, are needed for the people living in urban settings. Further, advanced technology is needed for firefighting technology and also with firefighting foam.
There has been an increasing economic loss due to fires in the United States, with a loss of US$18.1 billion in 2022. Due to this, the United States needs more fire safety. Firefighting technology, including firefighting foam, is needed in urban settings where there is a growth of building and construction in the developing economies of the world.
The major economies like China, Japan, India, and South Korea dominate the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the fastest-growing emerging economies are from this region, such as ASEAN countries. Fast economic growth, along with urbanization, is driving the need for firefighting solutions that can be applied at various levels. In India, the residential real estate industry has been seeing a boom, as in the top 7 cities. The demand for new houses has increased by 18% in every quarter in 2022.
This development suggests that people live in a close space where the danger of fire has increased to a substantial level. Furthermore, developing economies have small and medium enterprises in the marketplaces where there is a danger of fire every day. According to the National Crime Bureau in India, every 60 people die of fire accidents in the country, which demands immediate solutions to the challenges.
