Wildfire Devastation Is Fueling a New Growth Story in Fire-Resistant Building Materials
Wildfires are becoming one of the defining challenges facing the planet, which underscores the growing importance of fire-resistant construction materials. Beyond the tragic loss of life and property, insurers, builders and policymakers are increasingly focused on technologies that can improve resilience against fire, embers, radiant heat and the water damage that often follows firefighting efforts. As these disasters become more frequent, companies advancing technologies designed to improve fire resistance, structural durability and long-term building performance, like Xeriant (OTCQB:XERI), AZZ (NYSE:AZZ), PPG Industries (NYSE:PPG), and Owens Corning (NYSE:OC), could find themselves addressing a rapidly expanding market.
