The global fire-resistant fabrics market size is projected to reach USD 5.65 billion by 2030 from USD 3.75 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 7.24%. In high-risk industries, fire-resistant fabrics are essential for protecting workers from heat, flame, and thermal risks. Fire-resistant fabrics are designed to resist fire initiation, slow the progress of flames, and mitigate the severity of burns, and thus play a valuable role in manufacturing, oil & gas, defense & public safety services, and transport. As regulatory standards become more stringent and workplace safety awareness spreads across the world, organizations are increasingly looking to deploy certified high-performance fire-resistant fabrics to ensure operational safety and compliance.

"Treated fire-resistant fabrics segment is projected to be the second-fastest growing segment of the fire-resistant fabrics market, in terms of value, during the forecast period."
During the forecast period, the treated fire-resistant fabrics segment is expected to be the second-fastest growing segment of the global fire-resistant fabrics market by value. Treated fabrics, which are made chemically fire-resistant and non-ignitable, are mainly expanding their applications due to their cost-effectiveness and versatility. Industries that demand high-performance, cost-effective safety solutions, such as oil & gas, construction, and defense & public safety services, are progressively adopting treated fire-resistant fabrics. In addition, improvements in treatment technologies have enhanced the comfort and durability of these fabrics, further establishing their market position across a broad range of sectors.
"Non-apparel application accounted for the second-largest share of the fire-resistant fabrics market, in terms of value, in 2024."
In 2024, non-apparel application was the second-largest segment of the global fire-resistant fabrics market in terms of value. This dominance is driven by the rising demand in applications like transport and industrial insulation, especially in aerospace, automotive, and construction, where fire protection is a crucial factor. Fire-resistant fabrics are being widely applied in curtains, upholstery, wall coverings, and thermal insulation layers to achieve high fire safety standards and improve structural safety. This expansion of non-apparel applications of fire-resistant fabrics reinforces the market's development and increased focus on fire protection throughout industries.
"Transport industry to be the second-fastest-growing segment of the global fire-resistant fabrics market, in terms of value, during the forecast period."
The transport industry is expected to be the second-fastest growing end-use segment in the global fire-resistant fabrics market in terms of value during the forecast period. This is mainly due to rising safety norms and strict fire protection policies in automotive, aerospace, railways, and marine transport. With manufacturers focused on passenger and employee safety, the demand for fire-resistant materials used in seat covers, insulation, interior panels, and protective equipment is growing. Further, increasing investment in the public transport infrastructure and the rising usage of electric vehicles, where thermal management is critical, are likely to fuel the use of fire-resistant fabrics in the transport industry.
"North America was the second largest region in the fire-resistant fabrics market, in terms of value, in 2024."
North America was the second-largest market in the fire-resistant fabrics market, by value, in 2024. This dominance is led by strict workplace safety regulations, particularly in high-risk industries like oil & gas, utilities, defense & public safety services, and transport. The region's established industrial base and high enforcement of regulatory body standards have fueled the demand for high-performance protective fabrics. In addition, continuous infrastructure development and increased awareness of employee safety have supported the use of fire-resistant fabrics. The presence of major producers and advanced R&D facilities available in the region further strengthens its market position in the global fire-resistance fabrics market.
