Firefighting Foam Market to Record Sturdy Growth | 2026
Firefighting
foam is primarily used for fire suppression and avoiding the contact
of oxygen with fire. Firefighting foam is used instead of
conventional extinguishing agents such as dry chemicals, water, and
carbon dioxide due to its ability to extinguish fire; separate the
fire source from the product surface; suppress vapors; and prevent
smothering. Firefighting foam also ensures an extended period of
prevention from re-ignition. Commonly available firefighting foams
include aqueous-film-forming foam, alcohol-resistant foam, wetting
agent, fluoroprotein, and film-forming fluoroprotein.

Firefighting Foam Market: Overview
Growing
awareness regarding environmentally safe products is a major driving
factor for the firefighting foam market. Moreover, increased
expenditure on fire-related incidents at industrial sites augments
the demand for firefighting foam. Also, decrease in the usage of
water as a fire extinguisher boosts the demand for firefighting foam.
However, the insignificant existence of regulatory bodies for
approval of firefighting foam worldwide hampers the firefighting foam
market. Also, stringent regulations related to production of
firefighting foam restricts the market. Nevertheless, increased
investments in the development of fluorine-free foam is expected to
offer growth opportunities to the firefighting foam market in the
next few years.
Based
on type, the firefighting foam market has been bifurcated into
aqueous-film-forming foam, alcohol-resistant foam, protein foam, and
synthetic detergent foam (high & mid expansion foam).
Aqueous-film-forming foam (AFFF) is estimated to be the largest
segment of the firefighting foam market during the forecast period.
This can be attributed to longer shelf life of AFFF and the fact that
the oil & gas industry is more fire-prone and AFFF prevents these
fires effectively.
Global
Firefighting Foam Market: Trends & Developments
Leading
manufacturers operating in the market and research institutions are
making significant investments to develop fluorine-free foam, which
would be safer for the environment. Moreover, research institutions
are also investing in enhancement of properties of firefighting foam
so as to abide by stringent environmental policies. Based on end-user
industry, the firefighting foam market can be segmented into oil &
gas, aviation, marine, and mining. The oil & gas segment is
projected to expand at the maximum growth rate during the forecast
period, owing to high demand from the Middle-East.
Global
Firefighting Foam Market: Regional Outlook
Asia
Pacific is the leading consumer of firefighting foam across the
world. The region is also projected to register the maximum growth
rate during the forecast period, owing to several downstream oil &
gas projects (such as extraction, processing, and refining) in the
region. Growth of aviation, marine, and mining industries in
countries such as India, China, Singapore, and Malaysia has resulted
in increased demand for firefighting foam products in these
countries. This, in turn, is likely to drive the firefighting foam
market in Asia Pacific between 2018 and 2026.
