by The Fireproof Cladding Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 17.62 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Fireproof cladding is used in external walls of buildings for insulation and protection against fire. It prevents fire from spreading across the building exterior. Fireproof cladding products include metal panels, brick & stone veneer, concrete, and composites. They provide critical fire safety functions and help meet building codes. Their primary application is in tall commercial buildings, hospitals, hotels, and apartments where fire resistance is paramount.
Market Dynamics:
Growing construction of high-rise buildings drives the fireproof cladding market. Rapid urbanization and infrastructure development have increased investments in skyscrapers, malls, and other tall structures across developing nations. Fireproof cladding plays a vital role in preventing vertical fire spread in such tall buildings. Stringent fire safety regulationsmandate the use of non-combustible exterior walls in commercial construction. This has boosted the adoption of fire-resistant cladding materials like concrete, bricks, and composites. Additionally, rising awareness about green building materials is propelling the replacement of flammable wood siding with fireproof alternatives like fiber cement boards. Sustainable construction practices emphasize the deployment of eco-friendly cladding options.
Segment Analysis
The global fireproof cladding market is dominated by non-combustible cladding sub-segment. Non-combustible cladding materials such as steel, aluminum and concrete do not burn and help prevent the spread of fire. They have high resistance to flames, heat, and burn rates making them the safest option for cladding.
