CO2 Fire Extinguishers Market to Reach USD 726 Million by 2031 Top 10 Company Globally

CO2 fire extinguishers are portable and fixed suppression devices that use carbon dioxide gas to displace oxygen around a flame and suppress Class B (flammable liquids) and electrical fires without leaving residue, which makes them preferred in data centres, server rooms, electrical switchgear areas, laboratories, marine machinery spaces and some industrial environments. The industry encompasses design and manufacture of pressure vessels (steel or aluminium cylinders), valve and horn assemblies, CO2 filling and testing, aftermarket servicing and recharging, and whole-system integration for fixed marine and industrial installations. Safety standards, certification (EN/ISO/UL standards and national codes) and liability/regulatory drivers are important demand levers because they determine product acceptance in commercial and institutional procurement.

The global CO2 fire-extinguisher market was valued at USD 515 million in 2024 and is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of about 5.1% through 2031, reaching market size USD 726 million by 2031. With an averahe selling price at USD 150 per unit, implies to total of 3,433,333 unit sold in 2024. Factory gross margin is at 25% equal to a factory gross profit of USD 37.5 per unit and cost of goods of USD 112.5 per unit. A COGS breakdown is raw materials and cylinder metallurgy, valves/fittings, gas filling and charge, testing/inspection and certification, painting/packaging/logistics, and consumables/overhead. A single line full machine capacity production is around 150,000 unit per line per year. Downstream demand is concentrates in commercial real estate & infrastructure (office buildings, data centers and retail) followed by industrial (manufacturing, process plants and oil & gas), maritime & offshore installations, residential & small-business purchases and municipal/institutional and specialty (laboratories, avionics/rail) making up the remainder.
Latest Trends and Technological Developments
The CO2 extinguisher segment is seeing steady product-level refinements and manufacturing consolidation rather than disruptive reinvention. Two recent industry items illustrate the trend toward globalized production and Chinese OEM prominence as well as continued marketplace reporting on the broader fire-extinguisher sector: a short industry listing of leading CO2 extinguisher manufacturers and supplier developments published on May 2025 highlighted active Chinese OEMs expanding export capacity and product lines. On February 2025 a broader industry release about the global fire-extinguisher market noted rising demand tied to commercial construction and data-centre cooling/energy projects; the release reiterates how regulatory reinforcement and infrastructure investment are sustaining growth. These items demonstrate a continuing emphasis on supply-chain scale, certification and export growth out of Asia.
The Port of Rotterdam Authority purchases a annual supply of 60kg CO2 fire extinguishers from Kidde Fire Protection, a leading global manufacturer, for deployment across its critical electrical substations and control rooms that manage the container terminals. This strategic procurement, valued at approximately $450 per unit, is essential for protecting sensitive and high-value electrical equipment from damage, ensuring that a fire in a server rack or switchgear can be extinguished quickly without the corrosive residue left by other types of extinguishers, thereby minimizing operational downtime which can cost millions per hour.
The product was successfully applied at a National Grid hydroelectric power plant in Scotland, where a 45kg CO2 fire extinguisher system was installed by Johnson Controls to protect the facility's main turbine control cabinet. The system, which was part of a larger fire suppression package amounting to over $15,000, automatically discharged during an electrical fault that ignited insulation materials within the cabinet. The CO2 effectively smothered the fire without damaging the adjacent multi-million-pound turbine control systems, preventing a catastrophic failure and allowing the plant to return to service within hours after the fault was repaired.

Asia is a central growth engine for CO2 extinguisher demand and supply. Rapid industrialization, dense manufacturing clusters, large merchant fleets, and massive investment in critical infrastructure and data centres across China, India, South Korea and Japan keep regional demand firm. On the supply side, China has a strong mix of large OEMs and numerous smaller fabricators that compete on cost and fast lead times for both domestic and export markets; China-based producers often supply ASEAN markets via competitive pricing and shorter logistics. Price sensitivity in South and Southeast Asia means buyers frequently balance certification (e.g., CE, EN3, UL) against cost; tender procurement in large projects tends to prefer certified suppliers which raises the share of premium-priced, certified units. Regional studies and market reports show Asia-Pacific capturing a significant share of global fire-safety equipment demand, and local regulatory and occupational-safety programs in several countries (including Indonesia) are supporting replacement and service cycles.

Regional Insights
In ASEAN, demand is patchy but structurally positive. Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand show steady institutional and commercial procurement driven by high standards and retrofits in technology parks. Indonesia represents one of the largest ASEAN markets by absolute volume owing to broad industrial activity, maritime fleet needs and large public works programmes; however, enforcement heterogeneity and price sensitivity mean much of Indonesian procurement is channeled through national distributors and local manufacturers or imported from Chinese OEMs. Indonesias national occupational safety guidance and growing regulatory attention to workplace safety create recurring opportunities in both new-build and replacement cycles. For ASEAN exporters, logistics, local certification acceptance and distributor relationships are key market entry factors.

The CO2 extinguisher market faces several structural and operational challenges: first, regulatory complexity and the need for certification across multiple jurisdictions raises time-to-market and cost for manufacturers exporting into developed markets; second, raw-material price volatility (steel/aluminium and brass fittings) compresses margins, especially for commodity-priced units; third, CO2-specific handling and safety training (frost-burn risk from horn discharge) demand ongoing maintenance and after-sales service programs which some smaller suppliers struggle to provide; fourth, competition from alternative agents (clean agents and inert gas systems) in certain applications can reduce CO2's share where residue-free suppression is not required; finally, consolidation among distributors and procurement programs by large facility owners can squeeze smaller suppliers on price. These challenges make certification, after-sales service and supply-chain resilience critical competitive differentiators.

Producers and investors should prioritize (1) securing multi-jurisdictional certifications to access premium tenders; (2) developing reliable after-sales service and refill/recharge networks (a strong recurring-revenue opportunity); (3) targeting high-value verticals such as data centres, marine/offshore and critical industrial plants where CO2's residue-free properties are preferred; (4) investing selectively in automated, high-throughput lines to lower unit costs while keeping a modular approach so capacity can scale with large tenders; and (5) monitoring competition from alternative suppression agents for cross-sell or product-bundle strategies. For ASEAN market entry, partnering with local distributors that have service capabilities and approvals is typically faster and lower-risk than greenfield plant investment.

The CO2 fire-extinguisher market is a mature but steadily growing subsegment of the global fire-safety market. With a 2024 base of USD 515 million and a CAGR of 5,1% through 2031, the market offers predictable growth driven by industrial expansion, infrastructure projects and regulatory reinforcement particularly in Asia. Profitability at a factory level is highly sensitive to ASP, certification premiums and raw-material costs; however, aftermarket service and refill/recharge programs offer margin accretion opportunities for suppliers. For ASEAN, and Indonesia specifically, strong volume potential exists but requires distribution partnerships, compliance navigation and service networks.

Investor Analysis
What investors need to know: the market size (USD 515M in 2024), expected CAGR (~5.1% to 2031), and the implied unit volumes indicate a steady, low-to-medium growth industrial goods market that is not highly cyclical. How to use the data: use the market sizing and ASP/COGS estimates for revenue and margin modeling, CAPEX sizing, and to evaluate M&A targets (look for players with certification, service networks and export channels). Why it matters: predictable replacement cycles, recurring revenue from servicing/refilling, and the defensibility of certified suppliers in premium tenders mean investors can model a steady cash-flow profile; ASEAN exposure brings volume but requires operational capabilities to manage pricing pressure and regulatory compliance. This reports figures enable scenario modelling (base/optimistic/pessimistic) for ROI and payback on factory investment or distributor acquisitions.
