Booming Electronic & Electronics Sector
Electronic components include circuit boards, wires and cables, connections and switches. All of these are thought to be possible origins of ignition. Flame retardant chemicals are given to these components during the casting process to keep them from catching fire during larger fire situations. The electrical and electronics sector has expanded significantly due to rising demand for electrical equipment and consumer gadgets such as cellphones, televisions and computers.
According to data released by US Census Bureau, electronic component production in U.S. increased by 14.8% in July 2022 when compared to the same month in 2021. Furthermore, the India Brand Equity Foundation estimates that India's electronics manufacturing business will be worth US$ 520 billion by 2025. With such robust growth in the electrical and electronics sector, demand for flame retardant chemicals will increase during the forecast period.
Stringent Regulations
Though flame retardant chemicals are useful in avoiding fires, the compounds employed in them are highly hazardous. When these chemicals come into touch with humans, particularly youngsters, they can cause cancer, weaken the immune system and create neurological problems. Because of the harmful health implications, governments in several nations have enforced specific regulations.
According to a statement issued by U.S. Fire Administration, in January 2022, the Family and Firefighter Protection Act was approved in New York, which prohibits the use of flame retardants in consumer items. Furthermore, according to a statement issued by China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment in June 2021, the government would ban the use of halogenated flame retardant chemicals like hexabromocyclododecane due to their harmful nature beginning in December 2021. Such regulations are expected to constitute a challenge for the market expansion of flame retardant chemicals.
The global flame retardant chemicals market is segmented based on type, material, grade, application, end-user and region.
Rising Investments in Construction Drives the Segment Growth
Building & construction is expected to be the dominant segment with over 30% of the market during the forecast period 2024-2031. Household fires are a major cause of human fatalities. Flame retardants are utilized in building materials and products to comply with stringent fire safety rules. Flame retardants are commonly utilized in buildings for structural insulation. Insulation is used in homes and other buildings to keep the temperature comfortable while conserving energy.
Rapid urbanization, advantageous investment and expansion in architectural locations have fueled the growth of building and construction. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, construction investment rose by 6.7% in the first half of 2022. The Indian government established the National Infrastructure Pipeline in 2021, with an investment of US$ 1.4 trillion projected, with 24% allocated to renewable energy, 19% to roads and highways, 13% to railroads and 16% to urban infrastructure.

The construction industry, a significant consumer of flame retardants, has faced a downturn due to project delays, labor shortages and financial uncertainty. It resulted in a temporary fall in demand for flame retardant chemicals. As economies reopened and activity resumed, demand recovered. The need for infrastructure projects as an aspect of economic recovery plans increased demand in the last stages of the pandemic.
The car industry experienced severe production halts and lower sales during the pandemic, affecting demand for flame retardants. As production began and customer demand improved, the market gradually recovered. As more individuals worked from home, there was a greater need for electronic devices and household appliances, which frequently required flame retardant materials.
Russia-Ukraine War Impact
The war has affected the supply of essential raw materials used in the production of flame retardant chemicals. Russia and Ukraine are major providers of numerous chemicals and raw materials. The war has resulted in shortages and higher pricing for these vital supplies. It disrupted transportation lines, particularly in Eastern Europe, resulting in delays and increased prices for transferring raw materials and completed goods. Disruptions in ports and rail networks have exacerbated these concerns.
Russia is an important exporter of oil and natural gas and the conflict caused fluctuations in energy prices. Increased energy costs have resulted in higher production costs for flame retardant chemicals, as energy is a key component in their manufacturing processes. The war's broader economic impact, including sanctions and trade restrictions, has helped to drive up globally prices. It has resulted in increased costs for raw materials, transportation and other industrial inputs.
