Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2019, the Portuguese fireworks market volume grew from 844 t to 954 t, driven by rising imports despite the introduction of summer launch bans to prevent forest fires and ongoing collaboration between industry associations and the government on safety legislation. Government restrictions for fire prevention continued in 2019, leading to reported losses for pyrotechnic shows, yet overall market volume expanded.

By 2022, domestic production plummeted to 31 t, contributing to a market size of 881 t. Legislative updates to the explosives and pyrotechnic articles regime, along with bans during high-fire-risk alerts, constrained local output. In 2023, market volume surged to 1 272 t, fueled largely by a sharp increase in imports, even as the publication of Regulation No. 1/2025 foreshadowed tighter future controls.

Entering 2024 and 2025, the market faced persistent fire-prevention restrictions, prompting industry efforts to develop less polluting and quieter products. The entry into force of Regulation No. 1/2025 established detailed labeling, classification, and licensing requirements, aiming to harmonize standards and enhance safety across the sector.
