Overview

According to an industry expert at CMI, the North America Fire Fighting Foam Market relies on rising incidence of industrial fires, expansion of oil and gas industry and technological advancements in foam formulations.

Key Trends & Drivers

• Growing Demand for Fire Fighting Foam in Oil and Gas Industry: Exceptionally combustible fluids and gases can prompt extreme fire occurrences, causing huge property harm, and contamination, and endanger human existence. Oil-well fires bring about the deficiency of millions of barrels of raw petroleum each day and can cause tremendous financial misfortunes. Joined with the natural calamities brought about overwhelmingly by smoke and unburnt oil alongside the colossal fuel supply, oil-well fires are exceptionally challenging to douse than normal fire. Subsequently, the item request has expanded as of late from the oil and gas industry. Reliance on synthetic compounds is expanding for numerous purposes, and numerous synthetic substances delivered are dangerous and cause high harm and misfortunes.

• Growing Merger & Acquisition Activities: The key players operating in the market are increasingly adopting various organic and inorganic growth strategies such as merger & acquisition, collaboration, expansion, joint ventures and new product launches to increase their market presence and business operations. Recently, Johnson Controls International plc merged with Tyco International: Johnson Controls, a global diversified technology and multi-industrial company, merged with Tyco International a leading provider of fire protection and security solutions. This strategic partnership resulted in the formation of Johnson Controls International, creating a comprehensive portfolio of fire suppression products, including firefighting foam solutions.

• Technological advancements in foam formulations: The increasing technological advancements in the foam formulations is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period. The key players are investing on the development of the foam formulations, which is more ecologically friendly and more effective at combating different kinds of flames. Manufacturers are investing in development of the fluorine-free foams and low-viscosity formulations as end users and regulatory authorities place more importance on ecologically responsible firefighting products. High-performance firefighting foams that can put out complicated industrial fires, especially ones containing flammable liquids and hydrocarbons, are also in greater demand.

Report Scope

SWOT Analysis

• Strengths: The presence of major key players in the region and increasing investment in the new product development is expected to drive the demand for the firefighting foam in the North America region.  The growing awareness about the firefighting foams and various benefits of the firefighting foam such as reduced environmental impact, compliance with stringent environmental regulations and safer for firefighters and first responders are acting as strength of North America firefighting foam during the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing healthy competition between the companies compete on the basis of service quality, pricing, target market, and marketing strategies to maintain their market share and gain a competitive advantage.

• Weaknesses: Fluctuations in the raw material prices, growing environmental concerns and presence of the availability of the substitutes such as water and sand, provides a substantial threat to the firefighting foam market’s revenue growth. These substitutes are frequently less expensive and are more ecologically friendly making them appealing to clients looking for cost-effective and environmentally friendly fire suppression solutions. The growing stringent regulations and compliance with local and international fire safety standards remains a non-negotiable driver, weakens the market momentum and confidence of the firefighting manufacturers.

• Opportunities: The growing focus on firefighting formulations that are more ecologically friendly and more effective at combating different kinds of flames. Key players operating in the market are heavily investing in fluorine-free foams and low-viscosity formulations as end users and regulatory authorities place more importance on ecologically responsible firefighting products. Growing fire-related accidents and wildfires in the U.S. and Mexico due to climatic changes and human negligence is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period.

• Threats: The growing prices of the firefighting foam due to increasing tariffs and raw material prices is expected to create threat to the North America firefighting foam manufactures. The increasing supply chain and economic uncertainty due to the growing geo political conflicts and trade wars is expected to create threat to the firefighting foam. Delays in the certification and regulatory approval due to new sourcing may require re-certification, impacting time-to-market. Heavy capital investment requirement and setting up domestic production facilities demand substantial upfront capital.
