Global Flame Retardant Market is valued approximately USD 10.63 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.4 % over the forecast period 2019-2026. Flame retardants are compounds added to materials like plastics, electrical devices, construction materials and textiles to delay the production of the flame in the material preventing the spread of the fire. The various types of flame retardants are aluminum trihydrates, brominated flame retardant, antimony oxides and others. The increase in demand from current & emerging applications majorly electrical industry has led the adoption of Flame Retardant across the forecast period. The use in electronics is increasing due to the property of decreasing flammability of combustible substance. As per Statista, the number of users of Consumer Electronics is expected to amount to 2.9 billion by 2024 with the user penetration increasing from 26.9% in 2020 to 38.5% by 2024. Also, with the growing use in other end-use industries such as building & construction, automotive & transportation, wires & cables at a substantial rate across the world is expected to fuel the demand for Flame Retardants. Moreover, the rising government norms imposing improved safety standards for smoke and flammability range in different products drives the market growth.
The regional analysis of global Flame Retardant market is considered for the key regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America and Rest of the World.
