- Firexo: Firexo is a UK-based emerging player marketing a novel multi-class liquid fire-suppression agent covering Classes A, B, C, D, E, and F. It represents a disruptive entrant in the portable extinguisher space where Anafgroup also competes on emerging-agent innovation.

- Badger Fire Protection: Badger Fire is a North American manufacturer of portable, wheeled, and special-purpose fire extinguishers. Its product mix overlaps closely with Anafgroup's PS series dry-chemical and clean-agent offerings.
- Britannia Fire & Safety: Britannia Fire is a UK-based manufacturer and distributor of portable fire extinguishers, hose reels, and related safety products. It is a direct competitor in the British and European extinguisher market.
- Amerex Corporation: Amerex is one of the largest US-based manufacturers of portable and wheeled fire extinguishers serving industrial, commercial, and marine markets. It is a direct product-line competitor to Anafgroup's PS, WS, CS, and BS series.
- Buckeye Fire Equipment: Buckeye manufactures portable and wheeled fire extinguishers, Class D agents, and clean-agent products in North America. It competes head-to-head with Anafgroup in portable extinguisher categories including clean agent and dry chemical.
Broad incumbents
- Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Siemens offers fire safety (detection, voice evacuation, suppression) as part of its broad building-technologies portfolio. It competes indirectly with Anafgroup on large commercial and industrial projects where integrated systems win.
- Johnson Controls: Johnson Controls offers fire detection, suppression, and building-safety solutions globally as part of its smart-building portfolio. It overlaps with Anafgroup in extinguishers and integrated fire protection but at much larger scale and with connected-safety capabilities.
- Carrier / Kidde Global Solutions: Carrier's Kidde is a global fire-safety major that divested its EMEA portable extinguisher business to Anafgroup in 2026. Kidde retains a broader global portfolio in detection, suppression, and residential alarms, making it a broad incumbent competitor.
