After experiencing rapid growth in the early 1980s, the production and use of flame retardants have transitioned into a phase of stable development. Today, global consumption of flame retardants exceeds 1.5 million tons annually, with approximately 85% classified as additive flame retardants and 15% as reactive ones. The United States, Western Europe, and Japan remain the three largest markets for flame retardants globally. The U.S. holds about 40% of the market share, followed by Western Europe at around 30%, and Japan accounting for roughly 20%.
From 1989 to 1998, the U.S. saw an average annual growth rate of 2.8% to 3.6%, while Western Europe experienced a slightly higher growth of 3% to 4%. Japan recorded the highest growth rate during this period at 3.8%. Meanwhile, the global flame retardant market grew at an average rate of 3.5% to 4% per year. This steady expansion reflects the increasing demand for fire safety across various industries, including construction, automotive, electronics, and textiles. As regulations on fire safety become more stringent, the market is expected to continue evolving, with a growing emphasis on environmentally friendly and high-performance flame retardant solutions.
