The global inorganic flame retardant chemical market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027). The major factors contributing to the growth of the market include the rising application in the building and construction industry due to stringent safety regulations. According to the United States Fire Administration and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), 1.3 million fires were recorded in the US in 2019, resulting in 3,700 human fatalities, 16,600 civilian injuries, and $14.8 billion in property damage. 

Flame retardants are especially crucial nowadays, as high amount of electrical and electronic equipment in today's buildings, along with a higher volume of combustible materials, might raise the risk of fire. Flame retardants can be found in a range of building and construction materials used in houses, workplaces, and public facilities, such as schools and hospitals, to improve fire safety. Flame retardants are the chemicals that are added to thermosensitive materials such as wood, plastic, rubber, fibers, etc. to make prevent them from catching fire or spreading fire. Nitrogen, graphite, silica, and inorganic phosphates, and poly phosphate-based products are included in inorganic flame retardant chemicals. Furthermore, the demand for inorganic flame retardant chemicals in electrical and electronic devices is boosting the growth of the market.
