At the fifth meeting of the Standing Committee of the Eleventh National People’s Congress, fire security laws were brought into question and amendments were made to China’s fire laws. The amendments came into force in the middle of 2009 and so industry experts predict that 2010 will see a boom in fire security systems in China.

IMS Research predicts that by 2014, the fire safety industry in China will be worth over $1 billion (approx. £671 million) to the security industry. Things are heating up in China it seems!
