The Marine Fire Protection System Market Report 2026, published by ResearchAndMarkets.com, highlights significant growth in the marine fire protection sector, with projections showing an increase from $2.4 billion in 2025 to $2.55 billion in 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth is primarily driven by enhanced international maritime safety regulations, an expanding global commercial shipping fleet, and a greater adoption of automated fire detection technologies on vessels. The report emphasizes that retrofitting older ships to meet compliance standards, alongside the expanding offshore oil and gas industries, are crucial factors contributing to market growth.
Looking ahead, the market is expected to reach $3.21 billion by 2030, with a projected CAGR of 5.9%. This future growth is attributed to rising demand for smart fire protection solutions, increased shipbuilding activities in emerging maritime economies, and an emphasis on environmentally compliant fire suppression agents. A notable trend is the adoption of advanced suppression technologies and multi-sensor detection systems, alongside a surge in retrofit installations.
The report notes that the increasing number of commercial vessels is a significant growth driver for the sector. Marine fire protection systems are essential for ensuring the safety of crew and cargo and compliance with maritime regulations. In 2023, the delivery of 1,665 vessels enhanced fleet gross tonnage by 16%, predominantly attributed to container ships, bulk carriers, oil tankers, and liquefied gas carriers.
Industry players are focused on technological innovations, such as advanced gas-based suppression systems, to offer sustainable fire protection solutions. A notable example includes Fireaway Inc., which, in March 2023, received USCG approval for its aerosol-based suppression system, Stat-X, marking a step forward in environmentally friendly fire safety measures.
Strategically, Nobel Fire Systems Ltd. acquired UK-based Marine Fire Safety in January 2025 to broaden its product range and market presence. Key companies in this space include Danfoss A/S, The Hiller Companies Inc., and Minimax GmbH & Co. KG.
Geographically, North America led the market in 2025, with Asia-Pacific predicted to be the fastest-growing region. The report also discusses how global trade relations and tariffs influence costs for vital components, potentially increasing installation expenses while promoting local manufacturing and cost-effective fire safety solutions.
