FLAME RETARDANTS MARKET: Summary

The Global Flame Retardants Market is projected exhibit a CAGR of around 6% to reach a value of USD 15.5 billion by 2027.

Flame retardants are chemicals, which are added to manufactured materials, that inhibit or delay the spread of a fire. They are designed to minimize the risk of catching fire, even with a small heat source such as a cigarette, candle, or an electrical fault. Government authorities across the globe have various stringent regulations and safety standards for fire protection. These regulations have promoted the use of flame retardant materials, thereby driving the overall growth. Aggressive attempts of manufacturers to avoid mishaps caused due to the fire outbreak is propelling the product demand.

FLAME RETARDANTS MARKET: Drivers & CHALLENGES

Market Drivers:

• Increasing Demand from Building & Construction Industry

Rapid infrastructural development across the globe is expected to result in the number of construction activities. The use of flame retardants in the construction industry is essential to meet fire safety standards and codes. Apart from this, these are used on foam, upholstery, and carpets, which are the major part of the building & construction industry.

Flame retardants are used as a protective coating for cables and electrical wiring and as insulation material.

• Widespread Use of Polymers in the Transportation Industry

Wide range of polymers such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, among many others finds exclusive applications in the transportation industry. The shift towards the use of lightweight materials in line with the increased fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. These polymers are prone to catch fire, which might cause a fatal disaster.

Moreover, the rapid innovation in electronics for the automotive industry is likely to fuel the use of polymers, thereby, driving the demand for flame retardants.

Market Restraint:

• Potential Health Hazards of Flame Retardants

Flame retardant chemicals can find their way into the environment during manufacturing and can leak from products. These retardant chemicals are also released into the environment through e-waste or the uncontrolled burning and dismantling of electronic and electric waste. If exposed or inhaled, these may cause harmful effects in humans and animals such as the endocrine and thyroid disruption, reproductive toxicity, cancer, neurologic dysfunction, and adverse effects on fetal and child development.

Thus, hazardous health effects by inhalation and exposure of flame retardant chemical is likely to hamper the market growth.
