Saudi Arabia Fire Fighting Chemicals Market

Saudi Arabia Fire Fighting Chemicals Market Overview:

The Saudi Arabia fire fighting chemicals market size reached USD 24.8 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 34.4 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the growing improvements in industrial and infrastructure development, enforcement of strict codes and inspection protocols for residential, commercial, and industrial premises, and increasing focus on workplace safety and proactive risk management in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia Fire Fighting Chemicals Market Trends:

Improvements in Industrial and Infrastructure Development

The swift industrialization and infrastructure development in Saudi Arabia, fueled by Vision 2030 and mega-scale development projects like NEOM and the Red Sea Project, are driving the demand for fire safety systems, including fire fighting chemicals. The Saudi government approved a major 2025 budget of SR1.3tn ($342.7bn) in November 2024 to innovate the construction sector. Latest figures from the Investment Ministry showed that 3,800 building licenses were granted in 2024, demonstrating a significant upward trend in sector activity. These ambitious steps include the development of smart cities, airports, petrochemical plants, power plants, and commercial centers, all of which need to meet strict safety standards. Fire fighting chemicals are also helping in controlling fire dangers, particularly in those areas with flammable material susceptibilities like oil and gas installations and extensive building construction sites. Chemical agents involved in the process of extinguishing fires like dry powders, foams, and clean agents are essential in these high-end safety systems.

Growing Stringency of Fire Safety Regulations

The government of Saudi Arabia is implementing progressively tighter fire safety rules to keep pace with global standards and safeguard lives and property. Regulatory bodies like the Saudi Civil Defense have enforced strict codes and inspection protocols for residential, commercial, and industrial premises. Adherence to these regulations requires the installation and regular servicing of fire suppression systems, which in turn necessitate the use of fire fighting chemicals. These practices are especially essential in high-risk environments such as oil refineries, petrochemical facilities, and airports. Moreover, insurance providers frequently require certified fire protection systems as a condition of coverage, further encouraging companies to invest in effective fire suppression solutions. Such regulatory pressure provides a stabilized baseline level demand for fire fighting chemicals like Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), dry chemical powder, and CO₂-based suppressants that develops replacement and new installation markets in differing industries. In Intersec Saudi Arabia 2024 various strategies to maintain fire safety were discussed to avoid any dangerous situation in the country. The event had a discussion panel conducted by Neil Odin, Chief Fire Officer from the UK National Fire Chiefs Council.

Rising Awareness About Occupational Safety and Risk Management

There is an increase in the focus on workplace safety and proactive risk management in Saudi Arabia, mainly in industries, such as oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, and transport. Firms are spending heavily on health, safety, and environment (HSE) programs to safeguard employees, prevent operations disruptions, and ensure both local and international safety regulations. Fire risks are among the highest threats covered in these programs, and this is resulting in the incorporation of sophisticated fire detection and suppression systems. Fire fighting chemicals play a vital role in these systems, providing quick and efficient extinguishing of Class A, B, and C fires. In addition, regular drills, inspections, and maintenance schedules guarantee a recurring need for replenishment and testing of fire fighting chemicals. This shift towards emphasizing safety culture in industries significantly contributes to market growth and technological innovation in fire suppression solutions. Moreover, Saudi Arabia will implement new Saudi Building Code (SBC) and Saudi Fire Code (SFC) regulations in mid-2025 as the construction industry in the country continues to expand. Ahead of the regulatory updates, AESG has grown its Fire & Life Safety business in Saudi Arabia by recruiting fire protection engineers, senior fire protection engineers, and principal fire protection engineers.
