Fire-resistant coatings are coatings that are intended to protect surfaces from fire. These coatings can be applied to a wide range of surfaces, including steel, concrete, wood, and others. Fire-resistant coatings are primarily used to protect structures from fire spread and to provide an insulation layer to help contain the heat generated by a fire. These coatings can also slow the spread of fire, reducing the potential for damage. Some fire-resistant coatings are also intended to lengthen the time it takes for a fire to start. The global fire-resistant coatings market size is projected to grow from USD 975 million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 1,125 million by 2026, at a CAGR of 3.5%.

The intumescent coatings segment is expected to have the largest market share in the fire-resistant coatings market. This segment is being driven by rising demand for fire-resistant coatings from various end-use industries such as construction, marine, and automotive. When exposed to heat, intumescent coatings expand and form a protective layer that prevents the spread of fire, making it an ideal choice for fire-resistant coatings. These coatings are also used to protect structural steel and other building materials from fire, heat, and smoke. Intumescent coatings' properties such as high fire resistance, low smoke generation, and low toxicity make them suitable for use in a variety of industries.
The building and construction industry is expected to have the largest market share for fire-resistant coatings. In the building and construction industry, fire-resistant coatings are used to protect structures from fire and heat. They're used in a variety of places, including walls, ceilings, floors, and columns. They are also used in fire-rated doors, windows, and architectural panels. The rising demand for fire-resistant coatings in the building and construction industries is expected to propel the fire-resistant coatings market forward. The use of fire-resistant coatings is increasing as a result of increased fire safety awareness, increased regulations, and technological advancements.
Based on technology, Water-borne coatings are widely used in fire-resistant coatings due to their low toxicity, low odor, and safety. Furthermore, it is a low-cost solution for providing fire resistance to a variety of substrates. It is primarily used in the construction industry, which is gaining traction as the number of infrastructure developments increases around the world. Water-borne coatings are easier to clean up, reduce the risk of fire, and result in less exposure to VOCs.
Based on application techniques, the spray segment is expected to account for the majority of the global fire-resistant coatings market. This is due to spray fire-resistant coatings' ease of application, excellent coverage, and good adhesion properties. Furthermore, these coatings are available in a variety of colors, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including interior and exterior walls, roofing, and other surfaces. Furthermore, the coating is used in the construction of firewalls, which is expected to drive the fire-resistant coatings market growth during the forecast period.
