Firefighting Robots Market, Size, Share, Industry Analysis, By Locomotion (Humanoid Firefighting Robots, Wheeled Firefighting Robots, Tracked Firefighting Robots), By Application (Commercial Building, Residential Building, Agricultural, Military & Defense) Others and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Firefighting robots are designed to reduce the risk of injury to fire victims. It is also utilized to detect the fire and rage it out before it gets out of control. These robots carry water either on board equipped with a tank or the fire hose to spray water on fire-affected areas. These robots are well equipped with sensors and a global positioning system to identify the origin and cause of the fire. The application of firefighting robot is into numerous objectives such as, fire search, fire extinguishing, fire suppression, and rescuing the people from fire and also to check the environmental condition of the fire-affected area. The manufacturers are designing firefighting robots in order to achieve high reliability for firefighting applications.

Exposure of the firefighting robots to dangerous conditions is fuelling the growth of the global firefighting robots market. Thus, minimizing the number of victims who get caught into the fire. Manufacturers are focusing on the firefighting robots market in Europe and North America, where a large number of industrial projects are in progress. Similarly, companies are also opting for collaborations with local players and product expansion to expand the market reach in the competitive market. For instance, in March 2019, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has developed two firefighting robots, the water cannon robot and the hose extension robot, which can be useful for firefighting crews in case of fire at petrochemical plants.

Considering all the factors, the global firefighting robots market is anticipated to observe bolstering growth in the forecast period.
