Fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device that is used to extinguish small fires, often in emergencies such as no escape route, smoke, and explosion hazard. It consists of a hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an extinguishing agent that can be discharged to put out a fire. Aircraft fire extinguishers are available in both handheld and remotely controlled. When a fire detection system detects a fire, pilots manually deploy remotely controlled fire extinguishers from the cockpit. Moreover, for non-electrical fires, halogenated hydrocarbons, inert cold gases, dry powders, and water are used as fire extinguisher aircraft. Each aircraft should have at least one fire extinguisher in the cockpit and the number of extinguishers in the passenger compartment should be determined by the size of the aircraft & the number of passengers it can carry. Furthermore, all the aircraft fire extinguishers use a high rate of discharge (HRD) to extinguish the fire as soon as possible.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis:
- Governments across major countries have announced a lockdown because of the COVID 19 pandemic resulting in the halt in business. The lockdown and travel restrictions have severely affected the aviation industry since global air travel was halted. Moreover, due to lockdown, air travel was disrupted thus all the aircraft were stranded at the airport affecting the demand for aircraft fire extinguishers. Furthermore, the delivery of the already manufactured aircraft fire extinguishers was delayed due to lockdown. Furthermore, due to social distancing norms, there was the labor unavailability which was required for the manufacturing of aircraft fire extinguishers which further delayed the operation. Furthermore, there was the unavailability of raw material affecting the production of aircraft fire extinguishers. The aviation industry is developing sector that was severely affected by the pandemic, but it is expected to recover post-pandemic and drive the demand for aircraft fire extinguishers market.
Top Impacting Factors
Rise in demand for safety in aircraft, increase in number of aircraft orders, and surge in demand for new fire extinguishing system drive the growth of the market.
Chemicals used in fire extinguishers are hazardous to health and faulty extinguishers hinder the growth of the market.
Rise in number of passengers opting for air travel, strict government rules & regulation regarding fire safety on-board the aircraft, and frequent routine check & replacement act as an opportunity for growth of the market.
Market Trends
Rise in Demand for Safety in Aircraft
- One of the most dangerous situations is a fire in aircraft during flight hours. Fire onboard can cause serious damage and become uncontrollable in a very short time. To deal with such incidences and to ensure passenger safety, aircraft is equipped with firefighting equipment such as fire extinguishers. For instance, in June 2019, Meggitt was selected for the supply of fire protection systems on the Cessna Denali and Skycourier platforms by Textron. Moreover, United Technologies Corporation provides fire protection systems to Airbus A220, Irkut MC-21-300, Airbus A380, Boeing 767, COMAC C919, Gulfstream G280, Gulfstream G650, and others. Whereas Meggitt provides for aircraft programs such as Airbus A320, Airbus A330, Airbus A350 XWB, Airbus A380, Airbus A400M, Boeing 737, Boeing 777, Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet, Embraer E-Jet 170 series, Embraer E-Jet 190 series, and others. Thus, rise in demand for safety in aircraft is expected to drive growth of aircraft fire extinguishers market.
