Global Flame Retardants Market Size study & Forecast, by Type (Alumina Trihydrate, Brominated Flame Retardants, Antimony Trioxide, Phosphorous Flame Retardants, Others), by Application (Unsaturated Polyester Resins, Epoxy Resins, PVC, Rubber, Polyolefins, Others), by End-User Industry (Construction, Automotive & Transportation, Electronics, Others) and Regional Analysis, 2022-2029
Global Flame Retardants Market is valued at approximately USD 8.06 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 8% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Flame retardants are chemical compounds that are added to flammable materials such as plastics, textiles, and coatings to prevent a fire from starting or to slow down its growth. They are different substances having a variety of molecular structures, as well as different chemical and physical properties. These substances are either included in the products as an additive or introduced as a copolymer during the polymerization process. Products including foams, computers, mattresses, electric lines, insulation materials, and vehicle parts all include these chemicals. The major factor driving the market growth is the increase in regulations relating to fire and safety. The prevention of fire and explosion-related accidents at workplaces, industries, and public spaces is a primary concern for the governments of various countries. To promote the use of these retardants, has resulted in the implementation of strict regulations and laws for the industries. Also, another factor driving the market growth is growing demand in building and construction sector that create lucrative demand for the market during the forecast period.
According to Statista, the growth rate of construction industry across India was 5.65 percent from fiscal year 2015 to 2020, up from about 2.95% from fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2015. Also, escalating demand from the electronics sector would create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period. However, the environmental & health issues associated with the use of flame retardants stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
The key regions considered for the Global Flame Retardants Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America dominated the space in terms of revenue, owing to the increasing demand for electrical components in various applications, such as wiring, power cables, and connectors and rising demand in building, transportation, and electronic devices. Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, owing to factors such as rising demand for flame retardants in building & construction, electrical & electronics, automotive, and textiles industries.

Recent Developments in the Market:
In 2021, Liquid Masteret, a new phosphorous flame retardant, was launched by Italmatch Chemicals S.p.A. The company introduced its concentrated combinations of micro-encapsulated and stabilised red phosphorus (RP). The product is used in the automotive, electrical & electronics, and construction industries, especially when halogen is not recommended due to the highly toxic smoke it generates in the case of a fire.
In 2021, Clariant AG started the construction of a flame-retardant manufacturing plant at its site location in Daya Bay, Huizhou, Guangdong Province, China.
