World Flame Retardants Flame retardants are materials that inhibit or resist the spread of fire. Naturally occurring substances such as asbestos as well as synthetic materials, usually halocarbons such as polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorendic acid  Market

Global demand to rise 4.7% annually through 2011

World demand for flame retardant chemicals will grow 4.7 percent per year to 2.2 million metric tons in 2011. Gains will be driven by the increased use of flame retardants in the developing countries of the world, as these nations begin to adopt more stringent flammability flam·ma·ble

 flame retardants have the potential to cause a considerable shift in the product mix. High-volume brominated flame retardants Brominated flame retardants are produced synthetically in 70 variants with very varying chemical properties. There are several groups:
  • polybrominated diphenyl ether or PBDE (DecaBDE, OctaBDE, PentaBDE),
  • polybrominated biphenyl, or PBB

some, e.g.
 flame retardants continue to dominate the market in China, the country is rapidly moving away from chlorinated products, spurring tremendous growth in demand for other flame retardants.

Asia/Pacific region to be fastest growing market

The Asia/Pacific region is the leading consumer of flame retardants, and will also be the fastest-growing region in the world through 2011, with demand rising more than seven percent per year. While China will account for much of the region's gains, countries such as South Korea Korea (kôrē`ə, kə–), Korean Hanguk or Choson, region and historic country (85,049 sq mi/220,277 sq km), E Asia.  and Taiwan Taiwan (tī`wän`), Portuguese Formosa, officially Republic of China, island nation (2005 est. pop. 22,894,000), 13,885 sq mi (35,961 sq km), in the Pacific Ocean, separated from the mainland of S China by the 100-mi-wide (161-km) Taiwan  will exhibit strong advances as well. More moderate growth is expected for mature flame retardant markets in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere.  and Western Europe, although gains will still outpace out·pace

 environmental and health profiles. Despite some concerns, demand for brominated flame retardants will continue to rise at a healthy pace due to their low price and superior performance.

Construction applications to remain largest segment

Among flame retardant markets, construction applications will remain the leading outlet through 2011, comprising one-quarter of total demand. Advances will be fueled by the establishment of stricter fire codes throughout the world, especially in nonresidential construction. Flame retardants in electrical and electronics markets are expected to experience the most rapid gains in demand, however, due in part to a shift in the product mix toward chemicals which require higher loadings to be effective.

Study coverage

It presents historical demand data for the years 1996, 2001 and 2006 and forecasts for 2011 and 2016 by flame retardant type and market, and by six world regions and 17 countries. The study also considers market environment factors, evaluates company market share and profiles 39 major players including Albemarle, Chemtura, Israel Chemical, JM Huber, Daihachi Chemical and OxyChem.
