Flame Retardant Chemicals Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Brominated Flame Retardants, Chlorinated Flame Retardants, Antimony Oxide, Aluminium Hydrates, Phosphorous Flame Retardants, Others), By End-Use Industry (Construction, Electrical & Electronics, Textiles, Automotive & Transportation, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2019-2026

Flame retardants are a variety of chemicals substances that are added to combustible materials to make it resistant to fire or slow the fire spread. Flame retardants are added in manufactured materials or used as coatings to make materials fire-resistant. Flame retardants are derived from inert gases or made from chemicals that have endothermic and thermal resistance properties. Flame retardant chemicals are added to consumer goods such as furniture, electronic devices, clothing to reduce the flammability of the products.                                     

On the basis of type, the global flame retardant chemicals market can be segmented into brominated flame retardants, chlorinated flame retardants, antimony oxide, alumimium trihydrate, phosphorous flame retardants, and others. The increasing application of aluminum trihydrates from the construction industry is expected to support market growth for flame retardant chemicals globally. Phosphorous flame retardants are the most commonly used chemicals for the protection of plastics-based materials. Growing demand for brominated flame retardants is expected to boost the flame retardant chemicals market.

On the basis of the end-use industry, the global flame retardant chemicals market can be segmented into construction, electrical & electronics, textiles, automotive & transportation, and others. The construction segment is the dominant segment and will continue to grow during the given forecast period. The rise in demand for fire-resistant building materials has resulted in the growth of flame retardant chemicals from the construction end-use industry.
