Fire-Resistant Fabrics Market: By Fabric Type (Inherent Fabric, Treated Fabric), By Application (Apparel, Non-Apparel), By End Use Industry (Industrial, Defense and Public Safety Services, Transport, Healthcare, Aerospace, and Others), and Geography

Fire-Resistant Fabrics Market size was valued at USD 4,289.3 Million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% over 2024-2030. The fire-resistant fabrics market refers to the industry cantered around the production, distribution, and utilization of textiles that possess the ability to resist or withstand exposure to flames, high temperatures, and heat. These fabrics are designed to offer protection against fire-related hazards and are used in a wide range of applications, including protective clothing for firefighters, industrial workers, military personnel, and individuals working in hazardous environments. The market encompasses various types of fire-resistant fabrics, including inherent flame-resistant fabrics and treated flame-resistant fabrics, each tailored to specific requirements and industries. Rapid industrialization across the globe has led to a higher demand for fire-resistant fabrics in industries where workers are exposed to heat, flames, and hazardous conditions.

These fabrics are crucial to safeguard workers and minimize the risk of accidents. Moreover, rising awareness among industries and consumers about the importance of fire safety is fostering the adoption of fire-resistant fabrics. Consumers are seeking fire-resistant products for personal use, such as clothing and home furnishings. However, Fire-resistant fabrics often involve specialized manufacturing processes and the use of advanced materials, leading to higher production costs, which can impede the expansion of the fire-resistant fabrics market. Meanwhile, there is an emerging trend of offering customized and personalized fire-resistant fabrics to cater to specific industry requirements, which presents potential opportunities for the growth of the fire-resistant fabrics market. Manufacturers are adopting different innovative strategies to develop high efficient and sustainable fire-resistant fabrics to provide safety to the individuals in high-risk situations and industries. For instance, in June 2023, Birla Cellulose launched a phosphate based inherently flame-retardant sustainable cellulosic fibres, Birla SaFR, which is ideal for making flame retardant fabrics with its exceptional performance and eco-friendly characteristics.
