Assessment of China's Market for Flame Retardant Chemicals

GCiS, January 2010, Pages: 230

This Limited Publication Study (LPS) provides an in-depth understanding of the flame retardants chemicals (FRC) market in Mainland China. Product segments covered include brominated flame retardants (BFR), phosphorous-based flame retardants (PFR), chlorine-based flame retardants (CFR), and inorganic / other flame retardants (IOFR). These four categories span all FRC in the market including previously popular halogen-containing chemicals which, although highly effective, are undergoing toxicity investigations, to the up-and-coming halogen-free flame retardants. The report is based on a study of the production, sales, distribution and application of these FRC across China, and in their predominant end-user industries (target market). Included is a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the market’s size, trends, development, key participants and opportunities.

China’s market for flame retardants chemicals (FRC) growth slowed to approximately 5% in 2009 from 8.6% year-end of 2008 in reaction to the economic slowdown, but is expected to maintain a CAGR of 7.5% through 2015 – varying by product segment. Flame retardants include a variety of substances including materials, gels, foams, coatings and even water, which is used by end-users in the following industries: Plastics / Rubber, Electrical / Electronics, Textiles, Paper and Fire-fighting.

This GCiS market study draws on a three month, in-depth primary survey of around 100 of the market’s supply side and channel players. The study provides an in-depth understanding of the flame retardants chemicals (FRC) market in Mainland China. Product segments covered include brominated flame retardants (BFR), phosphorous-based flame retardants (PFR), chlorine-based flame retardants (CFR), and inorganic / other flame retardants (IOFR). This report is essential reading for any professional needing accurate and detailed strategic information of this market.
