Global Firefighting Foam Market Size, Share 2025 - 2034

Firefighting Foam Market: Overview

Firefighting Foam Market Size, Trends and Insights By Foam Type (Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), Alcohol Resistant Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AR-AFFF), Protein Foam, Synthetic Detergent Foam), By Fire Type (Class A, Class B, Class C), By End-Use (Oil & Gas, Automotive, Chemical, Aviation, Marine, Mining, Others), and By Region - Global Industry Overview, Statistical Data, Competitive Analysis, Share, Outlook, and Forecast 2024 to 2033

According to Custom Market Insights (CMI), The Firefighting Foam Market  size was estimated at USD 5.8 Billion in 2024 and is expected to hit around USD 7.41 Billion by 2033, poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% from 2024 to 2033.

Firefighting foam is a type of foam used to suppress and extinguish fires, particularly those caused by flammable liquids such as oil, gasoline, or other hydrocarbons. It operates by forming a blanket on the fire, turning off the oxygen supply, and cooling the fire to prevent re-ignition. Due to its efficiency in handling hazardous fire situations, it is used in high risk industries like aviation, oil refining, and chemical manufacturing.

A significant increase in fire related accidents, particularly in the oil and gas industry, drives the market growth. Furthermore, stringent government rules and regulations that mandate fire safety measures also boost the demand for firefighting foam.

However, the rise in awareness of the presence of PFOS and PFAS in firefighting foam contaminating drinking water sources has led to the introduction of acts and laws that restrict the use of fluorine based firefighting foam, which hampers the markets growth. Meanwhile, R&D activities regarding fluorine free firefighting foam are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for industry growth.

Firefighting Foam Market: Growth Drivers

The growing public awareness of the necessity of fire safety is helping to drive the market ahead. Besides, increased concerns about fire related occurrences and their environmental effects create a favorable market outlook. Furthermore, increased demand for effective firefighting foam solutions as people realize the necessity of fire prevention and control is driving market expansion. On the other hand, firefighting foam is an essential product for fighting several flames such as flammable liquid fires and chemical spills.

Technological improvements in firefighting foam compositions and systems are driving market expansion. In line with this, essential businesses are developing new foam technologies to improve firefighting capabilities, reduce environmental impact, and increase overall efficacy. They are also working on eco-friendly firefighting foam choices to reduce pollution.

Furthermore, typical foams contain per and poly fluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAS), which have a significant environmental impact. Manufacturers offer biodegradable and less toxic foam solutions that meet demanding ecological standards. These eco friendly foams are gaining popularity as businesses seek more sustainable fire control solutions.

Firefighting Foam Market: Regional Analysis

North America is projected to lead the market growth during the analysis period. The growing oil & gas industry is one of the most significant contributors to the market growth in the area. For instance, as per the data published by the US Energy Information Administration, U.S. oil production, including condensate and crude oil, was 11.7 million barrels per day (b/d) in December 2021. U.S. natural gas production (gross withdrawals) was 120.0 billion cubic feet daily (Bcf/d) in December 2022. U.S. oil production and natural gas production (gross withdrawals) increased in 2022; in December 2022, oil production was 12.1 million b/d and natural gas production (gross withdrawals) reached 121.1 Bcf/d.

However, the Asia Pacific is growing significantly in the global firefighting foam industry. The expansion of the industry in the Asia Pacific region is owing to the thriving chemical sector. Moreover, rising product launches in the area provide a positive outlook for market expansion in the Asia Pacific.

Firefighting Foam Market: Recent developments

• In May 2023, Johnson Controls introduced its new NFF 331 3%x3% Non Fluorinated Firefighting Foam Concentrate. The concentrate is intended to be a versatile and efficient alternative to existing alcohol resistant aqueous film forming foam (AR AFFF) concentrates in traditional foam sprinkler systems. This product suppresses fires caused by Class B, polar solvent fuels, and hydrocarbons.

• In September 2023, Perimeter Solutions launched its SOLBERG® 3% MIL SPEC Synthetic Fluorine Free Foam (SFFF). This is the first fluorine free firefighting foam concentrate to be added to the Department of Defense Qualified Products List (QPL). Since a fluorine free foam has been introduced to the QPL, federal rules require airports and other government agencies employing MIL SPEC qualified goods to switch from aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) to fluorine free. SOLBERG 3% is the only fluorine free foam currently on the QPL and available in the market.

• Perimeter Solutions unveiled SOLBERG VERSAGARD 1x 3 Multipurpose Fluorine Free Foam Concentrate in June 2022. The new product is built using fluorine free, alcohol resistant pseudoplastic foam technology. It is free of siloxane and non persistent. The concentrate is designed to control Class B and deep seated Class A Fires in the oil and gas industry and for industrial emergency response.

• A new line of environmentally friendly liquid polybutadienes called POLY VEST eCO, which may be utilized as a liquid rubber additive in tire manufacturing, was announced by Evonik in June 2022. The product introduction aims to meet the expanding requirements of sustainable markets. The new line of products has physiochemical characteristics resembling those of goods made from fossil fuels.

• GreenScreen Certified Firefighting Foam was introduced by Clean Production Action in January 2020. The product is marked as being free of PFAS (per and polyfluoroalkyl compounds). The use of PFAS in firefighting gear contaminates drinking water and harms the ecosystem. The device aims to provide a secure response to environmental and health criteria.
