Chinook Industry Spotlight: Fire & Life Safety Q4 2024
- U.S. fire & life safety market is worth $15 billion and fast-growing (>9% annual growth rate). Building codes and safety regulations mandate recurring inspections and repairs leading to predictable future revenue
- Building activity across commercial, industrial, and residential sectors has grown consistently over the past 10 years. New build, tenant improvements, renovations, or expansions are opportunities to provide fire & life safety services
- The industry is fragmented, meaning there are many companies with relatively small shares of the industry’s overall revenue, which is attractive to investors looking to grow platform investments through acquisitions
- Fire & life safety firms with regional or sector (e.g., marine, municipal, industrial) leadership are strong targets for acquisition by national strategic or private equity-backed companies
