Growing non-halogenated flame retardant market expected
“HexaResearch” market report 2012-2020 predicts ongoing growth in non-halogenated flame retardants, driven by strict regulations to protect the environment and consumer banning halogenated products, combined with growing demand for engineering plastics particularly in automobiles and electronics. Public transport applications prefer non-halogenated flame retardant solutions because of low smoke density and low toxicity.
The report expects non-halogenated flame retardants to become the dominant solution for respecting customer requirements and quality in engineering plastics.
“Transparency Market Report” projects a 8%/year growth for non-halogenated flame retardants through to 2018, driven by strict implementation of environmental regulations, fire safety requirements, and consumption of polymers in industries such as textiles, construction, electronics and transportation. Strict implementation of rules limiting production and import of goods containing halogenated flame retardants in North America and Europe will result in growth in non-halogenated flame retardant consumption in India, China, Indonesia and Malaysia which export towards these markets.
