- Analyst Opinion
- Shambhu Nath Jha, Principal Consultant at Fact.MR, says 'Fire safety equipment demand is code-driven: every building requires detection, alarm, and suppression compliance, creating a massive, regulation-anchored installed base. Extinguishers lead by volume, but the value growth is in addressable detection and IoT-connected systems that transform compliance hardware into building-management platforms. Data center and battery storage fire protection open emerging application demand. China and India scale fastest on urbanization and construction growth. The firms best positioned combine reliable detection with smart connectivity and installer networks, since building managers increasingly buy connected fire safety rather than standalone devices.'
