In February 2025, an arson attack at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court in Scotland set fire to the court's door, causing severe damage and disrupting legal proceedings. This incident highlights the vital importance of fire doors in safeguarding buildings and preventing fire spread. The attack led to the closure of the court, affecting scheduled trials and triggering an investigation.

Fire Doors & Partitions Market Dynamics

Drivers

• The Fire Safety Rules & Regulation To Drive the Market Growth

The fire safety regulations by the government are increasing, and the installation of fire-rated doors and partitions is a mandate for better safety in the building and protection of inhabitants at the time of the fire. This is especially important in a high-rise building, where making sure people are safely getting away is essential.

For instance, in Maharashtra, India, following the tragic Chembur fire incident, the state government issued final notifications enforcing stringent fire safety norms. This includes specifications for fire towers with two-hour fire resistance, a fireman's evacuation lift, and a ventilated lobby in the staircase as a means of escape from fire. New sections in high-rise buildings, especially for buildings over 90 meters tall, will now have break tanks with fire pumps every 65 meters away from the ground, along with water tank systems on service floors or refuge area floors. The DCPR 2034 in Greater Mumbai and the Unified DCPR for the rest of the state, which form the core of the regulatory framework in the state, have incorporated these regulations, thereby ensuring uniform enforcement of these regulations across the State of Maharashtra.

In February 2022, following the deadly fire at Mumbai's Sachinam Heights, a report recommended fire-resistant inspection doors for electric shafts in high-rise buildings to prevent the spread of fire. It also proposed mandatory fire audits and stricter regulations on interior decorations to improve fire safety.

Restraint

• High costs of installation and maintenance deter the adoption of fire-rated doors in budget-sensitive environments.

The high installation and maintenance costs of the fire-rated doors act as a hindrance to the fire-rated door market growth, particularly in cost-sensitive markets. Such as fire-rated door installation expenses are USD 400 to USD 900 in the United States, labor expenses rise to around USD 40 to USD 90 per hour. In India, the rate depends on the material and fire rating. For a coated door, the 2-hour fire-rated is at ₹4,800 a square meter. Factors affecting these costs include the door's fire rating, material quality, size, and additional features like intumescent seals and property-specific hardware. Furthermore, ensuring that the installation is safe and adheres to certain codes requires hiring a professional who can quickly increase costs. Due to such fiscal aspects, property owners and developers can shy away from construction or property investment in a fire-rated door, especially in financially constrained regions.

In November 2023, Shakti Hörmann announced an investment of ₹175 crore to establish a fire-rated door manufacturing facility in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The plant will produce 1.3 lakh wooden doors and 2 lakh steel doors annually, with operations beginning in 2024, to meet the rising demand for fire-rated doors in commercial and residential markets.

Fire Doors & Partitions Market Segmentation Analysis
