siliconindia | | March 20184India ­ a growing country ­ is under huge population pressure. On the other hand, the infrastructure development, rising economic growth, rapid industrialization and growing commercial sector & real estate industry within the country leave less room for movement during times of emergency. The chances of calamities are also rising proportionately. And hence every day, the country loses thousands of precious lives and assets valuing billions in fire accidents. Though India has its fire and safety norms prevalent for years, its implementation on ground is minimal, which is proved by various fire safety audits conducted on commercial establishments and residential sector. These audits also speak about the poor state of proper compliance of basic fire prevention norms. A recently published report by TechSci Research under `India Fire & Safety Equipment Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2019' states that India's fire & safety equipment market has a strong growth potential and market revenues are expected to reach to about $4.94 billion by 2019. However, the fragmented fire safety equipment market is largely dominated by unorganized players with strong regional presence. On the other hand, with tall buildings in vogue, the technology and construction methods related to tall building construction continues to change over time, and the fire protection engineering community is also experiencing newer fire safety issues, which is the result of emerging demands to build taller, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally responsible buildings. And not all fire safety equipment providers have sharpened their edges to help you with your requirements. However, in this issue of siliconindia, we bring to you some of the burning issues and companies who provide the most alluring but safest of safety solutions not just for fire, but for various other areas under our listings of `10 Most Promising Fire & Safety Service Providers ­ 2018', `10 Most Promising Home Security Companies ­ 2018', `10 Most Promising Background Verification Companies ­ 2018', and `10 Most Promising Property Valuation Service Providers ­ 2018'.
