The global flame resistant fabrics market size is anticipated to reach USD 6.89 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.1% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising concerns related to employee safety among various end-use industries coupled with stringent rules and regulations to ensure the safety of employees working in industries, such as oil & gas, chemical, military, utility, and firefighting, are expected to drive product demand. The market has been experiencing changes in manufacturing techniques to obtain superior-quality finished products owing to ongoing technological advancements in fiber and material types and changing consumer preferences related to the comfort of fabrics.
The industry has also been witnessing a surge in demand for high-performance and multifunctional fire-resistant fabrics. However, innovations in the manufacturing of fire-resistant fabrics are taking place at a slow pace due to the lack of internal research and development resources for small players as manufacturers of these fabrics are required to adhere to strict regulations and standards for production of FR fabrics. The lack of awareness regarding health and safety risks in the workplace is a serious problem that is affecting workers. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has started the "Workplace Innovator Award" campaign for innovative ideas and solutions to increase health & safety awareness.
Such efforts to raise safety standards by government agencies as well as businesses have been crucial in reducing occupational accidents in various industries. Market players are focusing on research & development activities to develop new technologies for product manufacturing and integration across various stages of the value chain to gain a competitive edge in the market. Companies are more focused on developing advanced technology-based fabrics owing to the increasing demand for advanced technology in various applications, such as firefighting as well as military end-uses.
