The market demand for fire hoses continues to grow and competition is fierce
A fire hose is a hose used to transport high-pressure water or foam and other flame-retardant liquids. There are various types of fire hoses. According to different materials, they can be divided into polyurethane fire hoses, rubber fire hoses, hemp plastic-coated fire hoses, polyester glue-filled fire hoses, etc.; according to different weaving methods, they can be divided into plain fire hoses. Tape and twill fire hoses; according to different diameters, they can be divided into 50mm fire hoses, 65mm fire hoses, 80mm fire hoses, etc.
The upstream of the fire hose industry chain is the supply of raw materials and production equipment such as rubber, polyurethane, and polyester filament; the midstream is the production of subdivided products; the downstream is mainly used in construction, fire protection and other fields.
According to the “China Fire Hose Industry Application Market Demand and Development Opportunities Research Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center, As my country’s economic development level continues to improve, urbanization continues to advance, urban infrastructure continues to improve, and the country’s emphasis on fire safety continues to increase, and the fire safety responsibility system is gradually implemented, the domestic market demand for fire hoses continues to grow, and the industry development prospects good. In 2022, my country’s demand for fire hoses will be approximately 410 million meters. From the perspective of market structure, polyurethane fire hoses have the advantages of high pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, and ease of use, and have gradually become a mainstream product in the market. In 2022, polyurethane fire hoses will account for nearly 88% of the total demand for fire hoses.
After a period of development in my country’s fire hose industry, the number of enterprises has continued to increase, and the scale of production has continued to expand. Products have gradually gained recognition in the international market with their price, quality and other advantages, and have a broad consumer market. In 2017, my country’s fire hose output was approximately 220 million meters, and the output will increase to 430 million meters in 2022, with a compound annual growth rate of more than 14% from 2017 to 2022.
At present, there are many domestic fire hose manufacturers, and the market competition is fierce. As the fire hose industry continues to develop, small and medium-sized enterprises with small production scale and poor product quality will gradually be eliminated by the market in the future. Leading enterprises will occupy more market shares by virtue of their advantages in technology and scale, and their voice will be further enhanced. The main domestic fire hose manufacturers include Qingdao Donghai Fire Equipment Co., Ltd., Taizhou Guanghua Fire Equipment Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Shuilong Jiangshan Fire Development Co., Ltd., Taizhou Sanjiang Fire Equipment Co., Ltd., etc.
Industry analysts said that with the continuous development of our country’s economy, the continuous improvement of national living standards, and the continuous improvement of fire safety awareness, superimposed on the national fire protection With the continuous strengthening of publicity and management, the market demand for fire hoses will continue to grow, and the industry is booming. In the context of continuous advancement of production technology and increasingly complex social environment, fire hose manufacturers need to continuously improve production technology, develop new processes and new materials, improve product quality and performance, and meet the diverse needs for consumer hoses in different fields. Expand its own competitive advantages.
