Europe accounted for the third-largest share of the global fire-resistant fabrics market, in terms of value, in 2024.
Europe was the third-largest region in the global fire-resistant fabrics market in terms of value in 2024. Growth of this market is driven by the consistent demand in manufacturing, construction, oil & gas, defense & public safety services, and transport industries. Though it has a vast population and industrial base, the region lags behind North America and the Asia Pacific. This is attributed to the relatively slower industrial expansion and moderate infrastructure development compared to the rapid industrialization in the Asia Pacific and the high regulatory enforcement and advanced protective equipment usage in North America. Europe benefits from stringent fire safety standards and mature manufacturing practices. However, growing awareness of workplace safety and the expansion of local fire-resistant fabric manufacturers helped the region to maintain its market share.
