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