Global Fire Protection Coating for Steel Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Fire Protection Coating for Steel market size is predicted to grow from US$ 8299 million in 2025 to US$ 10780 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2025 to 2031.

Steel fire retardant coating is a special coating designed to improve the fire resistance of steel at high temperatures. When the steel structure surface is coated with fire retardant coating, when a fire occurs, the coating can quickly form a fire-resistant and heat-insulating protective layer, slowing down the temperature rise of the steel, thereby increasing the fire resistance time of the structure in the fire and protecting the safety of the building and personnel.

Ultra-thin steel structure fire retardant coating is mainly solvent-based and has good decorative and physical and chemical properties. When exposed to fire, it expands and foams to form a dense, high-strength fire-resistant and heat-insulating layer, which greatly delays the temperature rise of the protected steel and improves the fire resistance limit of steel structure components. It is generally used in building steel structures with a fire resistance limit of less than 2 hours, such as beams, floor slabs and roof load-bearing components in Class I buildings and columns, beams, floor slabs in Class II buildings.

Thin steel structure fire retardant coating is mainly water-soluble and has good decorative and physical and chemical properties.

It can expand and foam when exposed to fire, and the fire-resistant and heat-insulating layer formed by the expansion and foaming delays the temperature rise of the steel and protects the steel components. It is often used in steel structure fire protection projects with a fire resistance limit of less than 2 hours, and the general fire resistance limit is within 2 hours. Spraying is often used for construction, and it is suitable for beams in high-rise civil buildings, columns, beams, floor slabs supporting single layers in general industrial and civil buildings, and steel structure fire protection in roof load-bearing components.

The fire resistance limit of thick steel structure fire retardant coating can reach 0.5~3 hours, or even longer, with the advantage of low cost. The particles of the coating components are large. In the fire, the low thermal conductivity of the granular surface of the material or the heat absorption of the material in the coating is used to delay the temperature rise of the steel and protect the steel. Spraying is often used for construction, and the coating has an uneven appearance, which affects the overall beauty of the building. It is mainly suitable for indoor and outdoor concealed steel structures, high-rise all-steel structures and multi-story factory steel structures with a fire resistance limit of more than 2 hours, such as columns in high-rise civil buildings, columns supporting multiple layers in general industrial and civil buildings, etc.

With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous advancement of infrastructure construction, the demand for steel fire retardant coatings in the construction industry has increased year by year. The construction scale of steel structures such as high-rise buildings, large public facilities, and industrial plants has continued to expand, providing a broad space for the development of the steel fire retardant coating market.

People's understanding of fire safety has gradually deepened, and enterprises and individuals have increased their willingness to use fire retardant coatings. In some fire accidents, the effective protective role of fire retardant coatings has been widely recognized, further promoting the development of its market.

New environmentally friendly fire retardant coatings, water-based fire retardant coatings, etc. have emerged to meet the market's demand for green, healthy and safe products. The functions of fire retardant coatings in fireproofing and heat insulation, fireproof decoration, fireproofing and anti-corrosion are becoming increasingly rich, which has promoted the industry's technological innovation and product upgrading.

In recent years, the market size of steel fire retardant coatings has shown a steady growth trend. With the rapid development of the construction industry and the improvement of fire safety awareness, the demand for fire retardant coatings has increased year by year.

Market competition is mainly reflected in product technology, brand influence, market share and other aspects. Domestic enterprises continue to invest in technological research and development, and some enterprises have acquired independent innovation capabilities and are able to produce fire-retardant coating products with international competitiveness.
