GCC Firefighting Foam Market Size (2024 - 2029)

GCC Firefighting Foam Market Analysis

The GCC Firefighting Foam Market size is estimated at USD 152.62 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 172.08 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of greater than 2% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the firefighting foam market in the GCC region in 2020. Major end-user industries in 2020, including oil and gas, paint, and flammable chemicals, were heavily impacted by the shutdown of their operations. This had a negative impact on firefighting foam consumption in the region. However, in 2021, following the continuous operation of end-user industries, the market grew steadily.

• Over the medium term, increasing demand due to a rise in fire accidents and strict government regulations to maintain safe working environments are some factors driving the growth of the market.
• On the flip side, environmental effects associated with per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are expected to hinder the growth of the market.
• However, developing new foam types that reduce environmental hazards will likely act as an opportunity in the market.
• Saudi Arabia dominates the market across the region, with the most substantial consumption from industries such as oil and gas and mining.

GCC Firefighting Foam Industry Segmentation

Firefighting foam is prepared by appropriately mixing foam concentrate with water and air. It creates a barrier between oxygen and fuel to remove fire.

The GCC firefighting foam market is segmented by foam type, end-user industry, and geography. By foam type, the market is segmented into aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), alcohol-resistant- aqueous film-forming foam (AR-AFFF), synthetic/detergent foam concentrate, protein foam concentrate, and other foam types (fluoro protein (FP), film forming fluoro protein (FFFP), and alcohol resistant - film foaming fluoro protein (AR-FFFP)). In the end-user industry, the market is segmented into oil and gas, chemical and pharmaceutical, mining, transportation, and other end-user industries (construction (urban fires), manufacturing, waste recycling plants, and forest fires). The report also covers the market size and forecasts in six regional countries. Each segment's market sizing and forecasts are based on revenue (USD).
