The Americas dominate the global FPS in oil and gas markets, accounting for 42% of the total market share. Increase in offshore drilling activities in the region has boosted the growth of FPS market. High emission levels and health hazards in the offshore oil extraction has fuelled the demand for FPS in the American oil and gas sectors.

The new market research report from Technavio provides a breakdown and analysis of the fire protection systems segments by technology.

“Owing to the need to reduce ozone depletion and global warming, various oil and gas operators are adopting environmentally friendly FPS such as gaseous and water mist systems. These systems are preferred for fire protection, as they use less water than sprinkler systems. Also, the vendors have come out with four advanced fire-suppressing technologies- halocarbon and inert gas systems, water mist systems, compressed air foam systems and solid gas generators,” says Anju Ajaykumar, Lead Analyst, Heavy Industry, Technavio Research

The FPS market in the upstream oil and gas sector dominates the market, occupying around 43% of the overall market share. Growing demand for oil and gas resources has increased the exploration and production (E&P) activities, which has necessitated the use of FPS systems in this segment for the health and safety of workers. Also, with the stabilization of oil prices, the demand for oil and gas E&P activities is expected to increase in the forecast period.

The key vendors in the global FPS in oil and gas markets include 3M, KEVTA, Kidde Fire Systems, Orcus Fire & Risk, and Tyco International. The FPS market is highly competitive due to the presence of many established players. These players maintain market competitiveness by providing high-tech, customized FPS to different end-users according to their requirements. Rising oil and gas activities worldwide have encouraged many FPS providers to enter into the market.
