Flame Retardant Chemicals: Technologies and Global Markets

Flame Retardant Chemicals: Technologies and Global Markets

Report Scope:

This study is an in-depth evaluation of flame retardant chemicals by type and by end-use application between the years 2021 and 2027. This report deals with flame retardant chemical additives, and not with products such as Nafion that are inherently flame retardant.

The forecast will cover worldwide demand and be broken down by chemical type and application. Because electronics are so widely used in the world today and they are housed most often in plastics, this segment will be emphasized.

Report Includes:

42 data tables and 29 additional tables
