The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Fire Safety and Rescue Tools and Products market to experience growing demand due to rising number of construction projects and rising preference of technologically advanced tools & equipment according to a report by Ken Research.
The report suggests that the Fire Safety and Rescue Tools & Products market in UAE is expected to grow further in the near future, with increasing adoption of newer technologies and government initiatives aimed to make rescue and firefighting activities more safer and successful.
The introduction for policies such as making Emergency Call (eCall) System mandatory in all vehicles in 2020, will help fast track rescue activities. Construction and Infrastructure projects such as Dubai Industrial Strategy 2030, would mean rising demand for establishment of industry specific firefighting units.
The launch of new firefighting systems which make more effective use of water and foam, new products combining thermal imaging and augmented reality (AR) enables firefighters to see through smoke, rising preference for battery operated rescue tools, are some of the recent trends in this market.
The number of constructed buildings in UAE has risen by 7% from 2018 to 2021, and this is expected to grow even further. This has also coincided with the rise in number of fire accidents in UAE within the study period. This would mean a growing requirement for firefighting products as the construction sector grows.
There is also a growing focus of UAE Government towards local manufacturing and digital streamlining of civil services will boost the fire safety product market.
The tender based market, along with rising preference of battery operated tools are said to be some of the growth drivers of the rescue tools and products market in UAE.
