EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

KEY FINDINGS
· The total UK market for active fire protection increased by 5 percent in 2000, to reach a value of £437.9 million (Euro735.7 million)
· The most significant sector of the UK market for active fire protection during the review period was detection and alarm systems, which accounted for 42 percent of the total in 2000
· Detectors were the most important product within the sector, with sales of detectors increasing by 18 percent between 1996 and 2000. Domestic smoke alarm ownership reached 81 percent in 1999, and the Home Office has pledged to take this level of installation in residential properties to 100 percent
· The market for portable extinguishers has increased significantly during the review period, rising by 6 percent to £122.7 million (€206.1 million) in 2000
· The most substantial growth in demand has occurred in the UK market for sprinkler systems, which increased by some 30 percent during the review period. MSI believe that this is due to public awareness campaigns alerting people to the efficiency of sprinkler systems in significantly reducing fire damage
· There are a number of important factors affecting demand for active fire protection, including the economy, investment levels, construction output, UK building regulations, UK and EU legislation, the ban on the use of halon, insurance companies' requirements, the number of recorded fires, UK housing stock and public awareness campaigns
· MSI forecast that there will be continued growth in the market for active fire protection between 2001 and 2005. Indeed, the market is expected to increase by some 17 percent in real terms during the forecast period
· The most significant increases are forecast to occur in the market for sprinkler systems, which is expected to increase by 43 percent between 2001 and 2005
· The following diagram illustrates the increases in the various sectors of the market for active fire protection between 1996 and 2001:
