India's economy is growing with impressive figures. A growing number of office buildings, technology parks, commercial centres, airports, petrochemical installations and production facilities offer enourmous potential for fire fighting and security solutions. The number of officially reported incidents (many being unreported) represent a yearly loss of $2 billion. This does not take into consideration small incidents occuring at residential properties, small shops and businesses. The Indian fire safety and security industry will grow and benefit from the country's economical development. Take for example the ever proffesionalizing healthcare sector. Quality levels in hospitals are gradually starting to match and even exceed western standards. Security and fire prevention in particular will evidently be very important aspects of the aforesaid professionalization of medical institutions.
