Flame Retardants Market: By End- User (Plastic & Rubber Industry), and Carpets & Textiles Industry, By Geography

Global Flame Retardant Market Outlook 2017-2025

Market Overview

Flame retardants are the chemicals used in the ignitable products in order to make them resistant to flames and to reduce the combustion time and slow down the spread of fire to other materials. The developing environment with increasing manufacturing, construction, and transportation industry tends to highly impact the demand for flame retardant products. China and India are one of the top countries that are engaged in the development of such industries. The construction industry and automobile industry accounted for the highest demand for flame retardant products. Globally consumption of flame retardants was recorded at 2.49 million tons in 2015 and is expected to exceed 4.0 million tons by the end of the forecast period. Furthermore, flame retardants prices are highly impacted by the supply of raw materials. In 2014, the Ministry of Land and Resources of the People’s Republic of China had canceled the extraction quota for antimony that led to rise in prices of flame retardants in China since 2014.

Further, the trend of using bio-based flame retardant chemicals due to rising environmental and health concerns like endocrine and thyroid disruption, reproductive toxicity, cancer, impacts to the immune system, and adverse effects on fetal and child development which is expected to decline the market revenue, like brominated flame retardants. China has been witnessed to shift away from harmful chemicals and is opting for phosphorus and alumina trihydrate. Flame retardant demand was highest in Asia-Pacific region followed especially China, Japan, India, Taiwan and South Korea, followed by the U.S.A. and Western Europe. Goldstein Research analyst forecast that the global flame retardant industry is set to reach nearly USD 15.6 billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period (2017-2025).
