According to a study by the German Insurance Association, more than one-third of all commercial fires occur in warehouses - sometimes with devastating consequences: From personal injury and damage to goods and property to supply chain disruptions, business interruption, and even insolvency.
According to the latest Allianz Risk Barometer 2026, business interruptions (often linked to supply chain issues) rank third among the world’s greatest business risks. To ensure that there is no business interruption due to a fire incident, preventive fire protection in logistics is very important and should play a central role in the planning of logistics properties and warehouses. Holistic fire protection solutions based on the principle of oxygen reduction can minimize or even eliminate the risk of fire under defined conditions.
RISK ANALYSIS
According to industrial fire insurance statistics, the main cause of warehouse fires is the high proportion of electrical components. Even a small spark caused by overloaded electronic components, such as drive motors or storage and retrieval machines, can cause a destructive fire. Other factors are increasingly dense warehouses, narrow aisles with poor access, highly flammable stored goods, flammable packaging materials, and stored hazardous materials. In the worst case, this could threaten the existence of the company.
