Spray-applied Fire Resistive Materials (SFRM) Market, Global Outlook and Forecast 2025-2031
Market Size
The global Spray-applied Fire Resistive Materials (SFRM) market was valued at $2892 million in 2024 and is projected to reach $4416 million by 2031, with a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. SFRMs are passive fire-protection materials applied to structural building members, covering Cellulosic and Hydrocarbon variants. Top players include PPG Industries, AkzoNobel, Sherwin-Williams, and more.
Spray-applied Fire Resistive Materials (SFRM) are passive fire-protection materials directly applied to structural elements of buildings—such as steel beams and columns—to enhance fire resistance. These materials help maintain structural integrity during a fire, providing critical time for evacuation and emergency response.
SFRMs are broadly classified into two types:
Cellulosic SFRM: Used in commercial and residential buildings exposed to typical office or home fire loads.
Hydrocarbon SFRM: Designed for industrial facilities and environments with higher fire loads, such as oil and gas refineries.
Market Dynamics (Drivers, Restraints, Opportunities, and Challenges)
Drivers
Stringent fire safety regulations across commercial and industrial sectors.
Growing awareness about passive fire protection systems in construction and infrastructure.
Surge in construction activities, particularly in emerging markets and urban centers.
Increased demand from the oil and gas industry, where hydrocarbon fires pose a significant risk.
Restraints
High initial installation costs can deter adoption, especially in cost-sensitive projects.
Complex application and maintenance requirements for certain SFRM types.
Competition from alternative fire protection technologies, such as intumescent coatings or fire-resistant boards.
Opportunities
Expanding markets in emerging economies, driven by infrastructure growth.
Technological innovations enhancing application efficiency and material durability.
Growing preference for eco-friendly products, creating space for green SFRM formulations.
Challenges
Compliance with evolving global standards requires constant innovation and certification.
Competitive pressure from established fire protection systems necessitates differentiation.
Market fluctuations tied to economic trends and construction cycles may impact demand.
