Executive Summary

The global market for flame retardant chemicals is projected to grow from $6.1 billion in 2025 to $8 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% from 2025 through 2030.

Flame retardant chemicals play a fundamental role in fire and human safety. In past decades, the growing number of fire instances in rapid industrialization has frequently created losses for businesses. Due to poor urban planning, human negligence, and the rising consumption of flammable materials, more fires are occurring. Thus, to minimize fire and protect people, flame retardant chemicals play a crucial role in the global economy.

Flame retardant chemicals can be used as additives and composites in end-use industries, including building and construction, textiles, electrical and electronics, transportation, agriculture, oil and gas, and mining industries. Flame retardant chemicals have the ability to reduce or inhibit the spread of fire in end-use products. Thus, flame retardant chemicals play an essential role in power generation systems, shopping complexes, cables, warehouses, public entertainment places, oil storage tanks, hospitals and hotels, among others.
