Construction Boom, Fire Safety Compliance, and Retrofitting Demand Fuel Market Expansion

United States of America [21-July-2025] – According to a recent market study by The Insight Partners, the Fire Rated Ducts Market is poised for significant growth, projected to reach USD 3.93 billion by 2033 from USD 2.50 billion in 2023, expanding at a CAGR of 4.6%. The increasing adoption of fire-rated duct systems is being driven by growing safety regulations, aging infrastructure, and modern construction practices worldwide.

Rising Demand for Fire Protection Systems in Buildings

Fire rated ducts play a vital role in containment strategies, ensuring smoke and fire do not spread through HVAC systems during emergencies. With governments tightening enforcement on fire safety codes and building owners retrofitting old structures to meet standards, demand for certified ducting systems is expected to remain strong.

“Fire safety has become a core part of infrastructure planning, especially in high-rise and public-access buildings. Fire-rated ducts are no longer optional   they’re a compliance necessity,” said a lead analyst at The Insight Partners.
