Non-halogenated Flame Retardants Market Is Anticipated To Witness Significant Growth Prospects With Rising CAGR By 2020|Grand View Research, Inc.


The global market for non-halogenated flame retardants is expected to reach USD 2.54 billion by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Concern for human health and environment has led to many countries banning halogen based flame retardants. These regulations and legislations are key factors positively affecting the demand for halogen free retardants. Polymers are being increasingly used in many end use industries such as automotive, electrical, construction, etc. Increased use of polymers has given a significant rise to risk of fire accidents. Extensive use of non-halogenated flame retardants for countering these instances will lead to its increased demand and eventual market growth. The estimated CAGR for market revenue is 8.2%. However, issues with processing of these materials are expected to be a challenge for market participants.
The global non-halogenated flame retardants market size was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2013 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.2% over the forecast period. Non-halogenated flame retardants restrain or delay flame production to avert the spread of fire. They are added (additive) or chemically bonded (reactive) to the base material to induce fire retardancy to the manufactured products, mostly polymers and textiles. These retardants are devoid of halogens, which were earlier considered essential in flame retardants’ composition. Efficiency of some non-halogenated retardants is still compared to that of halogenated options available. However, this gap has also been covered by many manufacturers with the help of technology innovations.
Some of the leading companies operating in the global non halogenated flame retardants market are Albemarle, ICL, Chemtura, Clariant International Ltd., Italmatch Chemicals, Albemarle Corporation, Huber Engineered Materials, BASF, Thor Group Ltd., Lanxess AG, DSM, FRX Polymers, Nabaltec AG, Delamin, and Dupont.

Flame retardants address the needs of durability, safety, and insulation in various applications. They produce less smoke and heat emissions apart from being recyclable, therefore they are preferred over bioaccumulation causing halogens, which are hazardous for human health and environment. In addition to strict regulatory policies, many countries have banned the use of halogenated retardants, thus supporting the growth of this industry.
Further key findings from the study suggest:
  • The global market for non-halogenated flame retardants is expected to reach 2013.9 kilo tons, growing at an estimated CAGR of 7.3% from 2014 to 2020 in terms of volume.
  • Phosphorous based retardants are expected to generate over 50% of the overall market revenue, growing at an estimated CAGR of 8.3% till 2020. It is also estimated to be the fastest growing segment in revenue terms.
  • Construction is leading non-halogenated flame retardants end use segment in terms of revenue, however its estimated CAGR of 7.9% is the lowest.
  • North America was a dominant consumer of non-halogenated flame retardants in 2013 with over 40% volume share and is expected to continue this trend with a CAGR of 7%, below the consolidated industry CAGR of 7.3%.
REACH and WEEE in Europe, Environmental Protection Agency in USA, and CEPA in Canada are a few associations safeguarding consumers and environment by regulating flame retardant policies. The market conditions have been favorable, thereby presenting growth opportunities for the non halogenated flame retardants market. However, processing of these products involves high loading levels and many other drawbacks, which are likely to hinder the market growth.
Aluminum hydroxide held the largest market share in terms of volume and is expected to expand at an estimated CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period. Phosphorous based products accounted for over 50.0% share of the overall revenue in 2013. The segment is likely to be the highest revenue generating segment in spite of being the lowest consumed segment.
Rising concerns over health and safety in several industries, specifically in the mature economies of Western Europe and U.S., coupled with low cost advantages involved in manufacturing aluminum hydroxide products, are expected to drive the market over the forecast period. Alumina based flame retardant namely alumina trihydrate (ATH) is an inexpensive non-halogenated flame retardant, which is extensively used in automobiles and electrical appliances. ATH finds its major application in polymers such as epoxy resins and unsaturated polyesters.

Phosphorus based products can be classified as organic phosphorus and inorganic phosphorus. Phosphorus based products are available in both reactive form that is bound to the polymer as well as in additive form that is mixed in the polymer. Increasing applications of phosphorous flame retardants, coupled with technological advancements, have been identified as the key factors driving the segment over the forecast period.
