Q. What are the growth prospects for Fire Protection Industry in India?

According to a market research Indian Fire & Safety Equipment Market in India will grow to 8% by 2021, due to the Increasing Government Focus Towards Industrialization –Our growth prospects seem to be tremendous in the Fire Safety Market, which is due to the increase in awareness of Fire Safety Services. Recently, new rules regarding Fire Safety Requirements were incorporated in the National Building Codes owing to which, installation of Fire fighting Systems has become mandatory. I perceive this as a big positive for the industry as a whole.

According to the report - “India Fire & Safety Equipment Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2019”, the fire & safety equipment market in India is expected to grow immensely over the coming years. The market revenues of India’s fire & safety equipment market are expected to reach USD 4.94 billion by the end of 2019. The market is set to experience radical growth over the coming years as a result of increasing customer awareness regarding fire safety, security and asset management coupled with implementation of strict state level norms on fire safety. The ambitious target of the government to build 100 smart cities over the next few years will be a driving force along with the “Make in India” initiative that is going to garner focus on the companies like NewAge have their manufacturing facilities situated in India. A seamless fire fighting safety system is going to be a focus point for Smart Cities initiative of the government. Government will bring and promote the installation of internationals standards.

Q. The slump in oil prices has triggered a lull in demand for new petrochemical plants – fire fighting equipment systems requirements has also slowed down immensely, what is your strategy across the world to overcome these turbulent times?
