Flame Retardants Market by Type (Aluminum Trihydrate, Antimony Oxide, Brominated), Application (Epoxy, Polyolefin, Unsaturated Polyester), End-Use Industry (Building & Construction, Electronics & Appliances) and Region- Global Forecast to 2027
[304 Pages Report] The flame retardants market is projected to reach USD 9.2 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 5.1 % from USD 7.2 billion in 2022. The growth of the market is mainly triggered by the growth of end-use industries and increasing regulations for fire safety. To reduce fire-related hazards in various sectors, the demand for flame retardants is increasing. End-use industries like building & construction, automotive, and electronics have some stringent fire safety standards to which manufacturers must adhere. In addition, the growing use of plastic in every sector due to its favorable characteristics is further boosting the market for flame retardants. The major restraints for market growth are the environmental and health concerns restricting the growth of conventional flame retardants like brominated and chlorinated flame retardants. This has propelled the demand for more environment friendly flame retardants like phosphorous and nitrogen. Rapid development in countries like India, China, and Mexico to further drive the market during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 on Flame Retardants Market
The flame retardants market was negatively affected due to disruptions in the global supply chain due to the pandemic. The market is highly dependent on the automotive, electronics, and construction industries.
China is a major market for electronics and construction. Strict lockdowns in the country’s major provinces affected construction activities in the country. Construction equipment demand largely declined in the first quarter of 2020, mainly due to the outbreak of COVID-19. China is among the largest producers of flame retardants. The lack of supply of raw materials weakened the production of flame retardants in the country.
Market Dynamics
Driver: to increase demand for flame retardants in various applications
The modern house and public spaces contain flammable materials with the increased use of plastics, foams, and composites. With high fire safety standards and regulations, they can be protected from fire. One of the measures of fire safety guidelines is to use flame retardant materials in interior works.
The boom in residential and commercial establishments has increased chances of explosions and fire-related accidents. Due to this, several countries across North America and Europe have mandated strict fire safety regulations and protocols. This has led to the increased use of flame retardants in buildings to meet these government regulations. Associations like National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and International Code Council have framed regulations for fire safety due to the growing consumer demand for homes, electronics, and automobiles.
Restraints: Strict regulations for environmental and health concerns related to the use of conventional flame retardants
The flame retardants market is highly regulated because of its toxic effects on the environment and human health. Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) & Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are the two major governing organizations of flame retardants. Flame retardants are a fully globalized business. The impact of regulations in one region affects the flame retardants industry on a global scale. Conventional flame retardants containing bromine and chlorine cause health issues and pose environmental risks. Owing to this, several regulatory bodies have imposed a ban on many flame retardants such as Deca-BDE, TBBPA, and HBCD. The EU and two states of the US, California, and Maine banned products containing more than 1% of PentaBDE or OctoBDE with effect from 2008. Other regulatory bodies such as Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) have implemented several regulations on using brominated and chlorinated flame retardants.
Opportunities: Rising demand for wires and cables worldwide
The demand for wire and cable compounds is high, and their requirement is becoming challenging across industries such as construction, automotive, electrical & electronics, and telecommunications. Wire and cable compounders are looking for halogen-free flame retardant solutions while continuing to meet stringent regulations for these sectors. Meanwhile, productivity in cable production remains a top priority, and solutions are being introduced that allow streamlining of manufacturing processes. This is particularly evident in the growth area of cross-linkable halogen-free flame-retardant compounds
Challenges: Growing emphasis on environmental protection and sustainability
Over the past few years, there has been a rise in the emphasis on environmental protection and sustainability. Companies are also focusing on switching their production to a more sustainable way and making their economy circular. In some countries, flame retardants are banned because of threats and side effects associated with their usage. For instance, manufacturers of PBDE and OBDE in the US phased out the production of these chemicals, which are mainly used in flame retardants in foam furniture, electronics, and appliances; 11 states have also formed legislation to ban these chemicals. Though there is a ban on harmful and toxic chemicals present in flame retardants, chemicals with similar formulations are being produced and used in flame retardants, which are harmful to the environment. The usage of these toxic chemicals increases the chances of fire than decreasing the prevention rate. Moreover, in many countries, these toxic chemicals are directly marketed as flame retardants in various end-use industries such as electrical & electronics, automotive, and textiles. Many rules, regulations, and restrictions are framed by countries to lower the production of these toxic chemicals.
