Global Information Inc. is pleased to present three new market research reports on flame retardants as the market experiences a significant rebound over the next five years.
Flame Retardants
Construction related applications will provide the biggest impetus to growth and continue to account for the greatest share of sales in the market for flame retardants. Boron and phosphorus-based flame retardants will expand at the fastest rates. Brominated compounds will benefit from use in polystyrene and polyurethane insulation.
Other factors increasing demand for flame retardants include stringent fire codes and flammability requirements. Environmental issues will present mixed results, with concern over the potentially deleterious health effects of halogenated flame retardants slowing growth for those compounds, especially in consumer goods, but also offering opportunities for safer alternatives. Non-halogenated types will benefit from safety concerns with alumina trihydrate as the most important type of flame retardant used in the US market in volume terms, with 46 percent of total volume sales.
This study presents historical demand data for the years 2001, 2006 and 2011, and forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by flame retardant material, market, and product. The study also considers key market environment factors, assesses the industry structure, evaluates company market share, and profiles 36 industry competitors.
