Market Summary


Overview


Global halogen free flame retardant marketis a part of the Global Flame retardant chemicals industry. Flame retardants are a key component in reducing the devastating impact of fires. Flame retardants are generally added to or treat potentially flammable materials such as textiles and plastics. Halogen containing compounds with trioxide are synergistic agents. Thus, the use of halogen containing flame retardants is limited due to corrosive smoke during combustion along with the evolution of toxic gases. Halogen free compounds are considered as prominent flame retardant due to their environmentally friendly properties.


Value and Volume


The global halogen-free flame retardant market was valued at around USD 3,000 million in the year 2016 and it is expected to reach more than USD 6,900 million by 2024. The global halogen-free flame retardant market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of more than 8% between 2017 and 2024. In terms of volume, the demand for halogen-free flame retardant is expected to reach around3,000 thousand tons in 2024 at a CAGR of more than 7% from 2017 to 2024.


Drivers and Restraints


The major factor driving the growth of the halogen-free flame retardant market is the rising adoption of environmentally friendly flame retardants across various industries.


Implementation of new environmental regulations imposed by the government on the use of halogenated flame retardants is expected to spur the growth of halogen-free flame retardants market.

Stringent regulations on fire regulations are expected to aid the halogen-free flame retardant market growth.

Increasing activities and investment in the construction sector in developing economies coupled with anticipated growth in the electronics industry in the years to come provide ample opportunities for players operating in the halogen-free flame retardant market.



Segmentation


Aluminum hydroxide held the largest market share in the halogen-free flame retardant market in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Aluminum hydroxide comprise of diverse properties such as it absorbs a significant amount of heat and decomposable at 230 C. Aluminum hydroxide are used as fillers in several end-user industries owing to its easy availability and lower prices. Organo- Phosphorous is expected to experience decent growth in the upcoming years to come. Other types include magnesium hydroxide, nitrogen, zinc, and borates.


Halogen-free flame retardants are used in various end-user industries such as building construction, electrical electronics, transportation industry and others. Building construction industry dominated the halogen-free flame retardant market in 2016. Plastics are majorly used in the building and construction industry owing to their high durability, strength, and ease of cleaning and repairing. Halogen-free flame retardants are added to plastics, coatings and textiles to prevent or delay the spread of fire.
