Published: Dec 2019 | Report Code: OMR2019982 | Category : Chemical and Material | Delivery Format: /

The global flame-retardant market is projected to witness a significant CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. The market growth is mainly driven due to rising applications in various end-user industries such as building & construction, electrical & electronics, and others. Flame retardants are utilized in many consumer and industrial products to reduce the ability of materials to ignite. Flame retardants are often added or applied to the various products including furnishing, electrical & electronics device, transportation products, building & construction materials, and others. Moreover, government guidelines for the use of flame retardant in construction coupled with increasing household and commercial fire cases further propel market growth.  

Segmental Outlook  

The global flame-retardant market is classified on the basis of type and end-user Industry. Based on type the market is classified into alumina trihydrate, antimony oxide, brominated flame retardants, chlorinated flame retardants, and others (phosphorous flame retardants). Alumina trihydrate is estimated to have a significant share in the market due to cost-effectiveness and less environmental impact as compared to the other types of flame retardants. On the basis of the end-user industry, the market is segregated into building & construction, electrical & electronics, automotive, textiles, and others. The electrical & electronics end-use industry is projected to have substantial market growth during the forecast period.

Global Flame Retardant Market to Be Driven by The Building & Construction Industry

The building & construction end-use industry is projected to contribute significant share in the market due to the high adoption of the flame-retardant chemicals in building material. The flame retardant is used with insulation materials, such as polystyrene and polyurethane insulation foams in construction. Moreover, strict fire safety regulations for the building and construction encourages the demand for flame retardant in building and construction. For instance, as per the European Flame Retardants Association, the flame retardants chemical is necessarily used with construction material. Fire safety requirements are contained in regulations, technical guidelines, safety standards and approval procedures that further raises the demand for flame retardant chemicals thus propelling the market growth.

Regional Outlook 

Geographically, the global flame-retardant market is further classified into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific is estimated to have considerable market growth in the global market during the forecast period. The flame retardant in the Asia-Pacific region is largely driven by the building and construction and electronics industry. The increasing electronics manufacturing and construction activities in the region further estimate to provide ample growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period.

North America has a significant share in the global flame-retardant market

North America is projected to have a significant market share in the global market during the forecast. Increasing fire cases in the building coupled government standards for the use of flame retardants in construction are the factors that contribute to the market. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in 2016, there were around 1.3 million fire cases reported in the US. Out of these fire reported cases, 475,500 were structure fires, 173,000 were vehicle fires, and 662,500 were outside and other fires. These fires caused 3,390 civilian deaths, 14,650 civilian injuries, and $10.6 billion in property damage. Moreover, the rising application flame retardant in the automotive and textile industry further contributing to the market in the region. 

Market Players Outlook

The key players in the flame-retardant market contributing significantly by providing advanced technology-based products and increasing their geographical presence across the globe. The key players of the market include Albemarle Corp., Clariant International Ltd., Israel Chemicals Ltd., LANXESS AG, Nabaltec AG. The other market players include Akzo Nobel N.V., BASF SE, DuPont de Nemours, Inc., Firetect, Inc., J.M. Huber Corp, Koninklijke DSM N.V.  These market players adopt various strategies such as product launch, partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions to sustain a strong position in the market. For Instance, In April 2019, Clariant International Ltd., developed Exolit OP 1400, a halogen-free flame retardant with UL 94 Vo performance down to 0.4mm. This flame retardant offers enhanced safety for smartphones and other electronic devices thus will create demand in the electronics industry that further increase the market cap of the company in the market.
