United States Portable Fire Extinguishers Market Definition

A portable fire extinguisher is a portable device that contains an extinguishing substance that may be ejected under pressure to suppress or extinguish a fire. It is a portable safety that is regularly used during crises to extinguish minor flames and minimize potential devastation before firefighters arrive. It consists of a cylinder with an extinguishing substance inside, a sprayer, a handle, and a pressure sensor. It primarily operates by ejecting the extinguishing agent at high pressure, which aids in cooling the burning material, depriving the flame of oxygen, and interfering with the flame’s chemical process.

Non-cylindrical pressure vessels can also be found in fire extinguishers, but they are less common. The good and firefighting agent are both kept in the same chamber of pressure units. Nitrogen has traditionally been used with dry chemical extinguishers, whereas air has traditionally been used with water and foam extinguishers. Cartridge-operated extinguishers keep the gas in a separate cartridge that is ruptured before discharge, exposing the propellant to the extinguishing chemical.

These extinguishers eventually employ pressurized carbon dioxide. There are two typescartridge-operated and stored pressure. The portable fire extinguisher is classified into two typeshandheld and cart-mounted. A portable or moveable equipment is used to extinguish a tiny fire by directing a liquid onto it that cools the burning material, stops oxygen from entering the flame, or severely interferes with the chemical processes that occur in the flame.

United States Portable Fire Extinguishers Market Overview

The United States Portable Fire Extinguisher Market is growing with a significant CAGR during the forecasted period due to growing demand for portable fire extinguishers across American end-users. Also, the growing awareness about the use of portable fire extinguishers and government regulations for fire safety are fueling the growth of the market. Ambrose Godfrey, a prominent scientist, developed the first fire extinguisher in England in 1723. It was made out of a cask of fire-extinguishing liquid and a gunpowder chamber made of metal. This was linked to a system of fuses that were lit, bursting the gunpowder and dispersing the solution.

Many different versions of the extinguisher were developed after this one, but it wasn’t until the 1800s that a contemporary form of the extinguisher appeared. Furthermore, Captain George William Manby produced the first modern fire extinguisher, a copper jar carrying 3 liters of pearl ash solution under compressed air pressure, in 1819.

Almon M. Granger patented a soda-acid extinguisher in the United States in 1881, about 70 years after the first fire extinguisher. His extinguisher blasted pressured water onto a fire by reacting sodium bicarbonate solution with sulphuric acid. Simultaneously, Read & Campbell of England created the cartridge-operated extinguisher in 1881, which employed water or water-based solutions. Soon after, in 1905, Alexander Laurant of Russia devised a chemical foam extinguisher, which he initially used to extinguish a pan of flaming naphtha. It functions and appears like a soda-acid kind, but the inner workings are different.

United States Portable Fire Extinguishers Market Segmentation Analysis

The United States Portable Fire Extinguishers Market is segmented based on Product, Application, and Extinguishing Agent.

United States Portable Fire Extinguishers Market, By Product

• Portable• Wheeled• Knapsack

To Get a Summarized Market Report By Product-

Based on Product, the market is segmented into Portable, Wheeled, and Knapsack. Out of which, Portable accounted for the largest market share of 49.58% in 2021, with a market value of USD 1,046.36 Million and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 10.26% during the forecast period. Wheeled was the second-largest market in 2021, valued at USD 700.26 Million in 2021; it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.96%. By definition, a portable fire extinguisher is a component of apparatus used to put out a fire. But in reality, a portable fire extinguisher only works on fires of the size and type for which it is rated. Portable fire extinguishers should only be used in the early stages of a fire before the fire gets to a location beyond the extinguisher’s capability. They are typically used as “first attack” units in firefighting. When used in the workplace, portable fire extinguishers can successfully put out small fires. But not all extinguishers are created equal. For various fire types, there are multiple classes. Extinguisher placement and choice must be made correctly. It’s also critical that after installation, the units undergo careful, routine maintenance and inspection and that all staff members receive training on how to use them properly.

United States Portable Fire Extinguishers Market, By Application

• Industrial• Commercial• Households• Public Areas• Others

By Application, the United States Portable Fire Extinguishers Market is classified as Industrial, Commercial, Households, Public Areas, and Others. Out of which, Industrial accounted for the largest market share of 32.92% in 2021, with a market value of USD 694.73 Million and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.50% during the forecast period. Commercial was the second-largest market in 2021, valued at USD 551.36 Million in 2021; it is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 9.98%. Depending on the risks, portable fire extinguishers are installed inside or close to chemical industries. A carbon dioxide (CO2) type extinguisher is positioned in laboratories with computer and electrical equipment. In contrast, dry chemical (BC, ABC) type extinguishers are found in facilities where flammable substances are used (i.e., mass spectrometers, gas chromatographs, and NMR facilities). When necessary, laboratories receive Metal-X extinguishing agent, a graphite substance used to put out Class D (flammable solids) fires.

United States Portable Fire Extinguishers Market, By Extinguisher Agent

• Dry Chemical• Carbon Dioxide• Foam• Dry Powder• Others

To Get a Summarized Market Report By Extinguishing Agent-

By Extinguishing Agent, the United States Portable Fire Extinguishers Market is classified as Dry Chemical, Carbon Dioxide, Foam, Dry Powder, and Others. Out of which, Dry Chemical accounted for the largest market share of 31.85% in 2021, with a market value of USD 672.30 Million, and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 10.07% during the forecast period. Carbon Dioxide was the second-largest market in 2021, valued at USD 567.44 Million in 2021; it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.53%. Dry chemical extinguishers put out the fire by covering the fuel with a fine layer of dust, which isolates the power from the oxygen in the air. These fire extinguishers successfully put out flames because the powder also helps to stop the chemical reaction that causes fire. There are several places where you can find these extinguishers. They will be put in open halls in new buildings. They can also be discovered in offices, vehicles owned by universities, laboratories, mechanical rooms, break rooms, chemical storage spaces, etc. Class B and C dry chemical extinguishers containing powder may be found in locations like commercial kitchens or areas with flammable liquids. Class fires suitable for dry chemical fire extinguishers include C lass firesThese occur when flammable materials, such as paper, textile fabrics, rubber, wood, and plastic, are present in residential and commercial spaces. The most frequent instances are fires caused by furniture or trash.
