The spark detection system market size was valued at US$ 281.42 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 449.53 million by 2031. The spark detection system market is estimated to record a CAGR of 7.0% from 2025 to 2031. The integration of IoT in spark detection systems is likely to remain a key trend in the market.
The rise in adoption in the wood panel industry, an increase in the number of fire and dust explosion incidents, and stringent fire safety regulations are expected to drive the market growth. As spark detection systems can help various industries in fire prevention, their demand is continuously increasing. The wood industry has various high-risk areas that could result in fires or dust explosions, which is one of the major reasons for the rise in the demand for spark detection systems in the industry. In addition, various industries, including manufacturing, woodworking, chemical, and food processing, are continuously facing a rising number of fire incidents across the globe, especially in Russia, Australia, Canada, and the US, which is boosting the growth of the market. Furthermore, the implementation of strict fire safety regulations by governments and regulatory authorities can lead to a rise in the demand for spark detection systems in the coming years.
Spark detection systems are designed to safeguard industrial processes by preventing ignition sources, such as burning embers, from contacting vital equipment. The system automatically detects and extinguishes sparks without interrupting ongoing process activities. Spark detection systems are utilized in operations where sparks, glowing particles, or other flash points may be introduced into dust filters or other plant units containing flammable materials that are easily ignited. If left unprotected, a single spark can start a fire or explode, as well as harm or destroy assets. This method is used in several industries, including wood, paper, food, textiles, plastics, recycling, and energy.
Industries such as manufacturing, woodworking, chemical, and food processing are continuously facing various incidents of fire and dust explosions. Industrial fires and dust explosions cause numerous injuries, fatalities, and significant economic damages. Incidents in the process industry can cost millions of dollars and disrupt operations globally. A few fire and dust explosion incidents that occurred globally are mentioned below.
• In January 2025, a lithium battery-based power bank caused a fire outbreak in an Air Busan airplane at Gimhae International Airport in Busan, South Korea. The incident caused minor injuries to three people on board.
• According to Purdue University data, in 2024, nine dust explosions occurred in the US, with no fatalities and two injuries. These explosions occurred in 4 feed mills, 3 grain elevators, 1 ethanol plant, and 1 corn processing plant. These incidences are associated with the ignition of smoldering grain, equipment malfunction, welding work, and cutting work.
The rising number of fire incidents in manufacturing, woodworking, chemical, aerospace, food processing, and other industries encourages the government, regulatory bodies, and public companies to take various steps to prevent them. Governments across the globe are implementing strict rules to prevent the occurrence of fire and obligating industries to install an appropriate, high-performance, and technologically advanced spark detection system. The system supports industries to monitor their operations and give alerts related to sparks in the machine, equipment, or in a working environment. A few significant rules and regulations that increase the implementation of spark detection systems are mentioned below.
• According to Singapore Airlines Limited data, starting in April 2025, Singapore Airlines Limited will prohibit customers from using power banks to charge phones and other devices in flight. Power banks cannot be charged via aircraft USB connections.
• In March 2025, Thai Airways International Public Company Limited (THAI) declared that passengers would no longer be able to use or charge power banks on flights from March 15, referring to incidents of in-flight fires on international airlines, suspected to be linked to power bank usage.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the spark detection system market analysis are component and application.
The geographic scope of the spark detection system market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South and Central America.
North America held a significant market share in 2024. The growing investment and the rising demand for automation systems by industries drive market growth. For instance, in July 2024, FANUC America Corporation invested US$ 110 million and launched its new 650,000-square-foot West Campus facility in Auburn Hills, Michigan. This facility expansion supports the company in providing advanced product manufacturing and customized automation systems by enhancing industrial automation in North America. Moreover, the growing investment in facility expansion increases the number of manufacturing and production activities, which creates the risk of sparks and fire associated with the working of machines and equipment. To avoid spark and fire incidents, industries are increasingly adopting spark detection systems to reduce the occurrence of sparks by improving production activities.
