The global fire door market is slated to register momentous gains by 2027 on the back of the various residential and commercial construction initiatives being undertaken across the world. To give a much needed boost that would bring the economy out of the COVID-19 slump, several global governments are kicking off ambitious infrastructure initiatives while also making it easy for private players to undertake new construction projects.

Across the EU alone, the construction sector provides employment to more than 18 million individuals and contributes to approximately 9% of the European Union’s GDP. The industry also creates new employment opportunities, fuels economic growth, and offers solutions for climate, social, and energy challenges.

Irrespective of whether a building is for commercial purposes or residential purposes, fire doors are one of the most essential fixtures in the structures. These highly-specialized doors are strenuously tested against elements and are purpose-built to endure fires for as much a time as possible. Fire doors enable buildings to be compartmentalized and put a delay to the spread of the fire.

The overall fire door market is classified into different segments on the basis of material, product, end-use, application, regional landscape.

Based on material, the market is categorized into glass, steel, timber, gypsum, aluminum, vermiculate, and boards. Among these, the aluminum fire door market likely to showcase a CAGR of more than 5.6% through the forecast timeframe.
