Commercial buildings in particular the office buildings are showing an optimistic outlook. This is because office spaces have shown a strong recovery. While the Asia-Pacific region remained nearly consistent over the last five years, the hybrid work culture particularly in North America and Europe has led to higher vacancy rates. In the Asia-Pacific, China has seen its Grade A offices in tier-1 cities at 72% occupancy rates in 2023 which is higher by nearly 12% from 2019. India has surpassed its pre-pandemic levels with office leasing in 2023 standing at nearly 67 million sq. ft. higher from the nearly 62 million sq. ft. in 2019. Therefore, the demand for fire pumps in commercial buildings stood stronger in the Asia-Pacific region.

Furthermore, global tourism has recovered significantly with international arrivals of 1.3 billion in 2023 reported by the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). This is a significant recovery from the pre-pandemic levels of 2019 reaching 88% of it. While major regions like North America, South America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific have underpinned this strong recovery, the Middle East performed exceptionally well. By the end of 2023, the Middle East was the only region that had made a complete recovery with the region’s international arrivals increasing by 22% from the levels of 2019, states the UNWTO. This is due to countries there putting in greater effort to boost their tourism industry as they are transitioning towards non-oil sectors. This has resulted in commercial spaces, such as hotels, malls, event venues, etc. which will drive the demand for fire pumps in commercial buildings.

Apart from this, the surge in the Middle East commercial real estate remains buoyant due to strong investments, particularly in the GCC countries. According to CBRE, in 2024, commercial real estate that is either in the planning or under construction stage stands at an estimated worth of USD 1.68 trillion an increase from USD 1.38 trillion in 2023. The demand for commercial real estate will rise further as the countries in the region plan to attract more business and host major events and conferences in the country.

It is estimated that in 2024, global tourism will make a complete recovery in terms of international arrivals. This is further underpinned by the fact that the UNWTO reported a near-complete recovery of 97% in the first quarter of 2024 to its pre-pandemic levels. This is led by the pent-up demand and increased connectivity, visa facilitation, and a stronger recovery from North America, Europe, and Asian destinations. Expanding tourism worldwide will lead to expansion in hotels, resorts, and restaurants, which will fuel the demand for fire pumps in these commercial real-estates.

Furthermore, the Asia-Pacific region which holds a significant market share of the global tourism industry has seen a rise in investments in its commercial real-estate sector. The investment volume has shown a jump of 7% in the first half of 2024 to USD 57.5 billion in contrast to the same period earlier according to JLL, a global real estate consulting firm. Additionally, the investments in the hotel volume grew to USD 5.7 billion in the first half of 2024, representing a YoY increase of 19%. The increasing investments coupled with the fact that the Asia-Pacific region’s recovery of international tourist arrivals standing at 82% of 2019 levels presents the market with a huge growth opportunity.

Apart from this, the rapidly growing number of international tourists is leading to the expansion of airports worldwide. According to the CAPA, Center for Aviation, as of 2023, there are more than 225 new airport projects, of which approximately 70% are in the Asia-Pacific. The statistics also depict that Latin America has approximately 26 new airport projects & Asia-Pacific has 132 projects. The expansion of the airport will further boost the demand for fire pumps amid the strict regulatory requirement for maintaining stringent fire safety standards in the airports.

Global Commercial Building Fire Pumps Market Challenge:

High Initial Costs Hindering Market Growth – Fire pumps are generally quite expensive pieces of equipment and many end-users would not prefer to install them for their fire suppressor systems, particularly in small and medium-sized commercial properties. They might choose an alternate method for their fire suppression system which is much cheaper. This makes the fire pump market price-sensitive and OEMs face increasing pressure on their margins which leads them to target higher-grade commercial properties that have a budget to install fire pumps.

Apart from this, the fire pump manufacturers build long-term customers thereby driving significant proportions of their revenues by providing services and spare parts to the equipment. The price sensitivity present in the market and the high installation cost of fire pumps can restrain the Global Commercial Building Fire Pumps Market.
