According to analysts at Vantage Market Research, the Global Flame Retardant Market size is worth USD 10.32 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 18.76 Billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 5.2% from 2025 to 2035. Key trends of market include the shift to non-halogenated solutions, rising demand in EVs, bio-based flame retardants, stricter fire safety regulations, and increasing use in consumer electronics.

Market Overview

The Global Flame Retardant Market is driven by governments throughout the world who are working to reduce fire and explosion-related mishaps in workplaces, factories, and public spaces. This has resulted in the introduction of strict laws and regulations for companies to encourage the usage of these retardants. They are utilized as fire retardants in cables, conductors, building items, insulating materials, textiles, automobile components and interiors, and paints and coatings. Manufacturers are required to apply flame retardants in their goods under various national rules and laws. This will boost the growth of the Flame Retardant market throughout the forecast period.

Manufacturers and automakers are required to follow certain strict fire safety regulations in end-use sectors. The market is experiencing increasing usage of fire-resistant products in several end-use industries, including building & construction, electrical & electronics, transportation, textile, oil & gas, and others. These industries are extensively using flame retardant to enhance safety and meet fire regulations. Additionally, rise of electric vehicles, which require flame-retardant materials for battery safety and electrical components, is creating significant opportunities. EV manufacturers need reliable, high-performance flame retardants to ensure battery protection and overall vehicle safety. Furthermore, ensuring passenger safety in the event of a fire is critical. Materials used in seats, dashboard components, upholstery, and flooring must be fire-resistant.

Trinseo Introduces Groundbreaking Flame-retardant Plastic Grades Without Using PFAS Additives During Manufacturing Process

• In April 2024, Trinseo, a specialty material solutions provider, announces its new offering of flame-retardant EMERGE™ PC 8600PV and 8600PR resins, as well as EMERGE™ PC/ABS 7360E65 resins, manufactured without the use of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or halogenated additives. Many PFAS chemicals are commonly used for their important flame-retardant properties, as well as their resistance to heat, oil, stain, grease, and water. These new products maintain those critical performance attributes while addressing the growing demand and regulatory pressures to reduce the use of PFASs, especially in the consumer electronics and electrical industries
