Flame Retardant Chemicals Market By Type (Alumina Trihydrate, Antimony Trioxide, Phosphorus Flame Retardants, Brominated Flame Retardants), By End-Use (Automotive, Construction, Textile, Electronics, Aerospace, Paints & Coatings, Packaging) – Growth, Future Prospects And Competitive Analysis, 2017 – 2025
Flame retardants are widely utilized in several applications to avoid fire and are widely used across automotive, construction and electronics industry among others. Flame retardants chemicals are added to polypropylene fabrics, nylon fabrics and polyester fabrics to make them fire resistant. Polypropylene is used in cable and wire jacketing, garden tools, electronic appliances, toys, furniture and kitchen tools among others. Flame retardants are mixed with thermoplastic elastomers in low concentrations to fuel the resistance of a material to its ignition and diminish the degree of flame spread. The utilization of flame retardants in the form of additives avoids a minor fire from turning into a disaster. Several materials such as alumina trihydrate, brominated flame retardants, phosphorus flame retardants, antimony trioxide and zinc borate are used as flame retardant additives in several automotive and construction applications. Since flammable plastics are widely applied in foams, modern vehicles, textiles, cables, polymer formulations as well as mechanical components, a high risk of fire exists and thus the use of flame retardant chemicals is necessary in such applications. Thus, flame retardant chemicals are added to these components to stop fires in structural, mechanical and decorative components. Flame retardants are also added to vehicle seats to confirm passenger safety since matches and cigarettes might prompt ignition of fire.
The rapid growth of major end-use industries such as electrical & electronics, construction and transportation is projected to bolster the demand for flame retardant chemicals over the forecast period. Flame retardants are being increasingly used by the aforementioned end use industries in order to fulfill regulations regarding fire prevention and fire safety. Governments are also implementing several regulations on fire prevention and safety thus driving the overall growth. Moreover, forestall attempts from major industries to avoid accidents caused due to fire are further anticipated to accelerate the overall growth. Flame retardants are widely utilized in several consumer electronic products such as refrigerators, smartphones, TV sets, vacuum cleaners, printed circuit boards and laptops among others. Increasing per capita disposable incomes is in turn driving the growth of electronics segment which is further expected to bolster the demand for flame retardants over the forecast period. Although, non-halogenated flame retardants are gaining more preference owing to less toxicity and cheaper price. This is resulting in the downfall of halogenated flame retardant chemicals thus hampering the market growth. Also, increase in manufacturing cost and raw material prices are also expected to impede the market growth.
On the basis of end-use industry, automotive accounts for a major share in the global industrial explosives market owing to increasing demand for passenger cars across the globe. Moreover, increase in vehicle production and rise in per capita disposable incomes are several other factors driving the growth of automotive segment in the global flame retardant chemicals market.
Asia Pacific is projected to be the dominant region owing to increasing growth of the construction and automotive industries in the region. Also, rising per capita disposable incomes is further supplementing the demand for consumer electronics especially in India and China. Thus, major market players in the electronic industry are focusing on setting up their manufacturing facilities in Asia Pacific due to increasing demand for consumer electronics which is further expected to supplement the market growth. North America is expected to account for the second largest share in the global flame retardant chemicals market due to increasing demand for fire resistant vehicles as well as increasing governmental norms in the region.
The global flame retardant chemicals market can be categorized on the basis of type as:
- Alumina Trihydrate
- Antimony Trioxide
- Phosphorus Flame Retardants
- Brominated Flame Retardants
- Others (boron compound, chlorinated flame retardants etc.)
Alumina trihydrate segment dominated the global flame retardant chemicals market in 2016 and is anticipated to uphold its dominance over the forecast period from 2017 to 2025. This is owing to increasing demand for non-halogenated flame retardants coupled with high demand for cheaper and more effective flame retardants especially from automotive applications. Also, increasing number of environmental regulations against the usage of bromine and chlorine based flame retardant chemicals is further driving the demand for alumina trihydrate across the globe. Moreover, low cost is one of the key aspect bolstering the demand for alumina trihydrate. In addition, increasing usage of alumina trihydrate in packaging, construction, automotive as well as electronics industries is further expected to propel the market growth. Also, due to varying scenario of environmental awareness especially in developed economies of North America and Europe as well as execution of strict rules regarding import and production of halogenated flame retardants, the demand for alumina trihydrate is expected to increase in the foreseeable years. Furthermore, rapid transformations in the global construction industry and materials infused with flame retardants such as structural insulation & plastic as well as structural elements are rapidly being utilized which is also driving the growth of global flame retardant chemicals market. However, rising regulations regarding carbon emissions and air pollution are some major factors anticipated to hamper the market growth.
The global flame retardant chemicals market can be categorized on the basis of application as:
- Automotive
- Construction
- Textile
- Electronics
- Aerospace
- Paints & Coatings

- Others
By end-use industry, construction segment accounted for the largest share in the global flame retardant chemicals market in 2016 and expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. This is mainly due to growth in construction activities especially in developing economies of Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Also, increasing infrastructural activities, as well as increasing demand for shopping malls, commercial building and sports complexes, is another major aspect driving the growth of the global flame retardant chemicals market. In addition, rapid urbanization, increasing population, increasing governmental initiatives to offer reasonable housing have promoted the construction industry over the past few years which is anticipated to continue throughout the forecast period. Moreover, rising per capita disposable incomes as well as increasing consumer spending is further driving the demand for buildings and apartments, thus accelerating the use of flame retardants in the construction industry. Automotive industry is anticipated to account for the second largest share in the global flame retardant chemicals market owing to increasing demand for vehicles across the globe as well as rising living standards of consumers especially in the developing economies. Also, increasing governmental regulations regarding fire safety in automobiles as well as increasing use of polymers in vehicle production further drives the market growth.
