The ladder market is predicted to grow due to a surge in demand for fire escape ladders. Fire escape ladders are devices that can be easily moved and set up for emergency use. They are small enough to transport in emergencies and can be securely and quickly attached to a window for a rapid exit from a building. The rise in residential fires has amplified the necessity for these types of ladders. For example, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a nonprofit organization based in the US, revealed in a national fire experience survey in November 2023 that municipal firefighters reported 65,650 injuries in 2022. This was an 8 percent increase from the estimated 60,750 injuries in 2021. Consequently, the heightened demand for fire escape ladders is expected to fuel the expansion of the ladder market.
