According to a report published by The Business Research Company, the global fire department software market is expected to grow from $2.34 billion in 2023 to $2.61 billion in 2024. This increase is fueled by factors like evolving reporting standards, advancements in Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, more funding for emergency services, a rise in fire incidents, community engagement efforts, and improved interagency collaboration.
The rising number of fire incidents emphasizes the need for advanced fire service and greater public safety software solutions. For example, in the United States, fire incidents increased from 1,353,500 in 2021 to 1,504,500 in 2022, underscoring the demand for effective incident management tools. To address these needs, companies are developing advanced IoT solutions aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and personnel management in fire departments.
Looking forward, the market is projected to reach $4.06 billion by 2028. Major trends driving this growth include smart city initiatives, advancements in mobile technology, increased attention to cybersecurity, a focus on community risk reduction, and improved resource management. Additionally, the adoption of artificial intelligence for predictive analytics, the use of IoT devices for real-time monitoring, and the expansion of cloud-based solutions are expected to play pivotal roles in shaping the future of the market.
