Increasing demand for hoses is a key driver shaping the growth. Hoses have come a long way since their early days in the late 16th century. They replaced the bucket brigades and were initially made of leather, which was later replaced by linen. However, the linen hoses had issues with leakage and rotting. Modern hoses are now made of a combination of materials, including nylon and rubber, which prevent them from bulging, bursting, or kinking at high water pressure. They also have a heat-resistant and waterproof coating and a dimpled inner surface that allows water to flow quickly. The hoses have reusable connections made of cast aluminum. As hoses continue to evolve, the global market is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period.
Continuous vulcunization is a key trend shaping the growth. FOIRCEV introduced the continuous vulcanization process for producing a single-piece long hose, which led to more Companies adopting this process worldwide. The conventional extrusion process involves feeding the rubber compound into the extruder and pushing it into the die, resulting in high investment due to the space and equipment required. With the continuous vulcanization process, which uses a combination of microwave and infrared, the hose is vulcanized continuously as it comes out of the extrusion machine, reducing plant size and rejection rates. Initially, only a few manufacturers in Europe possessed this technology, but now more Companies in regions like APAC are adopting it, driving growth in the global market during the forecast period.
Global Companies face a challenge with different building codes and product specifications set by various governments worldwide. Ideally, standards should be the same globally, but NFPA has published over 300 consensus rules and standards that are adopted worldwide. NFPA is committed to preventing fire and other hazards, and its efforts in creating awareness for fire safety have been effective. Despite this, varying regional standards may still impede the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
The market forecasting report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their market growth analysis strategies.

The type 3 segment was valued at USD 1.40 billion in 2018. Type 3 hoses have the edge over type 1 and type 2 hoses as friction loss is minimal and they have a high tolerance for rough terrains. Thus, with increasing demand for type 3 hoses from the firefighting industry, the global market is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period.
Type 2 is principally used by Municipal and Industrial brigades. Type 2 hoses have an external coating that prevents the absorption of liquids and improves abrasion resistance. So, type 2 hoses have the edge over type 1 s. Rising demand for type 2 from industrial and municipal brigades is expected to boost the growth of the global market during the market forecast period.

Type 1 is used for the transfer of Natural Gas in a vapor state and Propane in a vapor or liquid state. Type 1 contains a circular woven jacket or support of synthetic fiber with an impermeable internal lining. It has no external coatings like the other types. Type 1 hoses are mainly used by firefighters and industrial users.
In 2022, the municipal fire services segment dominated the global market. Hoses are indispensable to the municipal service industry because of their key role in suppressing widespread fire. As government organizations are required to address a large number of visitors in their day-to-day operations, these buildings are prone to significant life losses due to the hazards. Thus, to safeguard life and monetary loss, government buildings necessarily deploy efficient s. The key factor contributing to the growth of the global market is the increasing demand from municipal end-users.
s provide commercial end-users with fire safety in offices and commercial buildings. These products are usually stored with a hose reel in a safety cabinet, along with other safety equipment, such as extinguishers. These products are an indispensable part of safety regulations for commercial buildings. They are required to be placed in areas that are easily accessible to occupants of the building.
