The global non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals market size is expected to register a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing customer demand for electronic and electrical products across the globe.
Non-halogenated flame retardants are compounds that are utilized in various materials such as plastics, textiles, and coatings in order to inhibit the spread of fire. Flame retardants are added to the base materials to create less warmth. It is utilized to prompt fire retardancy properties in textiles and polymers. They are generally used across the transportation, electrical, and construction industries. These added compounds discharge less warmth and produce less smoke. Non-halogenated flame retardants advance natural sustainability as it has excellent smoke suppressant properties and they are cost-effective. Phosphorous, aluminum hydroxide, bromine, and chlorine-based non-halogenated flame retardants are frequently used halogen-free flame retardants.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Growing demand for epoxy resins for high-quality coatings coupled with rapid industrial progress is estimated to propel the market growth.
- Non-halogenated flame retardants are less hazardous in comparison to other flame retardants, which is estimated to act as a major factor for the growth of the market.
- The non-suitability of hydroxides to high temperatures can restrain the market growth.
- High cost of raw materials and delay in supply can hamper the growth of the market.
- Rising awareness for eco-friendly flame retardants can create lucrative opportunities during the forecast period.
