UNDERGROUND FIRE HYDRANT MARKET OVERVIEW

The global underground fire hydrant market was valued at USD 0.34 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow to USD 0.37 billion in 2026, reaching USD 0.73 billion by 2035, with a projected CAGR of 7% during the forecast period. In this study, we have evaluated major underground fire hydrant players like CHFIRE, AVK, Delta Fire and Others.

An underground fire hydrant is an essential part of a municipal water supply system that is intended to give firemen a dependable and ready source of water to put out fires. Underground fire hydrants are less vulnerable to damage from vehicles or severe weather than above-ground hydrants because they are placed flush with the ground and linked to a water main below the surface.

The makers, distributors, and suppliers of the global market, as well as the engineers and construction companies in charge of their installation and upkeep, are all included in the market globally.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic has had a mixed impact on the market demand

On the global underground fire hydrants market, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a conflicting effect. While the pandemic has caused supply chains and manufacturing operations to be disrupted, which has caused delays in project timelines and product delivery, there has also been an increase in demand for dependable fire protection systems as a result of the increased focus on public safety and emergency preparation. In addition, there has been a greater emphasis on house safety as a result of lockdowns and other restrictions, which has increased demand for underground fire hydrants. However, with the resumption of construction activities and investments in infrastructure development, the market is anticipated to recover in the post-pandemic era.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Demand for Cutting Edge Technology to become a market trend

In the coming years, the need for dependable fire protection systems, expanding infrastructure, and rising urbanization are all anticipated to have a significant impact on the growth of the global underground fire hydrant market worldwide. In order to increase the effectiveness and longevity of these hydrants, the market is also observing a change towards the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, such as smart monitoring systems and high-performance materials. The demand for the hydrants is also anticipated to increase, especially in developed economies, due to strict regulations and guidelines regarding fire safety and emergency preparation.

• According to the U.S. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in 2023, over 12,000 above-ground fire hydrants were replaced with underground fire hydrants across urban areas in the United States to enhance aesthetics and reduce vandalism risks.

• According to the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), approximately 5,500 new underground fire hydrant installations were reported in European city infrastructure projects in 2023, contributing to modern urban safety measures.
