Industry Outlook
The Indian fire protection equipment market was valued at ₹10,900 crore in FY 26. It grew at a CAGR of 12% between FY 20 and FY 26, ahead of the 7% CAGR posted by the global market between 2020 and 2025. CRISIL projects a 10–12% CAGR through FY 31. In FY 26, sprinklers, hydrants, deluge valves, foam equipment, and gas-based systems together made up 75% of the market, or ₹8,200 crore. CRISIL expects this segment to grow at an 11–13% CAGR to ₹13,500–15,500 crore by FY 31. Fire detection accounted for the remaining 25%, valued at ₹2,700 crore.
Commercial buildings form the largest end-use segment at 42% of FY 26 demand, followed by industrial and infrastructure at 37% and residential at 21%. Per capita spending shows the headroom. India consumed just $1 of fire protection equipment per person in FY 26, compared with $57 in North America and $52 in Europe in 2025. The global market reached $62 billion in 2025 and is projected to touch $85–90 billion by 2030. HD Fire Protect sells into the suppression segment as India's second-largest manufacturer by FY 25 revenue from operations.
