By Type - Segment Analysis
By Application - Segment Analysis
Building & Construction segment held a significant share in fire resistant glass market in 2019 growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period. These glasses are largely used in building & construction industry to prevent the spread of flames and smokes and block the transfer of radiant and conductive heat. The increasing building safety codes and fire safety regulations in major markets along with increasing demand for passive fire protection are driving the market for fire resistant glasses in this segment. Marine is anticipated to be grow at a significant pace ver the forecast period. The growth is attributed to rising use of fire resistant glass in ships and yachts to prevent the sinking of vessel containers in the event of fire break out.
The coronavirus outbreak, which originated in Wuhan, China, has impacted the growth of industrial economy. The building and construction industry is among the crucial sectors hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. To prevent the spread of the outbreak, governments in many countries have enforced lockdowns, restricting the movement of people as well as goods. Due to several government restrictions put in place in these regions, many construction activities have either been temporarily halted, postponed, or entirely cancelled.
Geography- Segment Analysis
North America dominated the fire resistant glass market with a share of more than XX%, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe. Rising investments by foreign companies; growing production facilities; strong industrial base for the construction, marine, and automotive sectors; and rise in standard of living are the major factors contributing to the growth of the fire resistant glass market in this region. The stringent norms for use of these glasses in schools and healthcare facilities are also driving the demand for fire resistant glass in the region. Growing emphasis by the regional governments in the mature economies of North America and Europe to obtain compliance certificate related adherence to fire safety norms of the buildings and infrastructure is expected to fuel the industry growth over the forecast period.
In United States, The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) was founded by insurance companies for standardizing the new market of fire sprinkler systems. NFPA created a set of codes named Comprehensive Consensus Codes, which include NFPA 5000 as the central building code, NFPA 101, and Life Safety Code. The codes explained in detail the minimum requirements for protecting occupants against toxic fumes, smoke, and fire in new and existing buildings. This is expected to lead to a growth of the fireproofing coatings market. Thirty-nine states in the United States adopted the NFPA 101 and the Life safety Code, ensuring that buildings are protected as well as all systems and services are correctly maintained. Such strict regulations pertaining to fire safety and building safety in the country is expected to boost product demand in the coming years. The aforementioned factors, coupled with government regulations, are contributing to the increasing demand for fire-resistant glass in North America.
